Larry, that was what struck me about these too, I'm afraid. If roses had
eyes, in many of these shots they'd be squinting or squeezed shut. :-)
Really liked lrc05760. Technically, I thought you got lrc05955 quite
well-exposed. I've had a lot of trouble with exposure on all-white
petals. I either blow them out or underexpose the whole frame.
It was a sunny day, as the pink hue on the back of my neck for the
next few days would attest. It was also a bit breezy.
Maybe the next time I shoot flowers in a garden I should bring a
flash.
Yes; I've had great success with HSS and really fast shutters. But it
takes two Pentax flashes to do wirelessly, and that makes the K20D a
very heavy thing to hand-hold!
You might want to consider getting a partner to hold a diffuser for you.
I'm planning to try one of those Lastolite tri-grips that I've been
reading about lately.
Last summer I got my wife to hold a black umbrella over a cactus flower
in full sun. To my great amazement it worked! I got a very nice macro
in soft light.
