We’re celebrating my birthday one day early this evening as we gather the family for my favorite meal – steak, home fried potatoes, and salad. Dessert will also combine my favorites since childhood (a long time ago) – chocolate mayonnaise cake with peanut butter frosting – yum!
My dear wife Barbara went out to our backyard garden and made this great looking center piece bouquet to brighten our table. I couldn’t resist capturing the memory with a photograph.
For my fellow photo geeks, this photo was captured with a tripod mounted Nikon D7100 camera, Nikon 17-55 2.8 G ED lens at 55mm, and camera fill flash. Aperture priority was set to f22 and the camera selected exposure of 1/60 the second at ISO 900. I had to close down the aperture and ramp up the ISO in order to get sufficient depth of field to keep the entire bouquet in focus. Shot in camera raw and post processed using Photoshop CS6.
