  • : Canon EOS 40D
  • | Exposure: 8.000 s (8/1)
  • | Aperture: f/16.0
  • | ISO speed: 100
  • | Flash: No
  • | Focal length: 60.00 (60/1)
Redly gleam the rose-haws, dripping with the wet,
Fruit of sober autumn, glowing crimson yet;
Slender swords of iris leaves cut the water clear,
And light green creeps the tender grass, thick-spreading far and near.

May Morning (Celia Thaxter).

  1. Lovely Irises! Penny says they are pure blue (on her laptop). On my (calibrated) screen they appear mauve/purple. Penny wants to know if my calibration is rubbish?

  2. Your calibration is spot on. The upper petals were a slightly pale lilac and the lower ones were purple with blue veins. I was particularly careful to replicate the colours due to the ‘blue/mauve digital thing’. Now do the decent thing and calibrate Penny’s monitor for her ;)
