JAN-2012 Frank Brault

#7

West Hartford Reservoir, West Hartford, CT USA

"Rosemåling, or rosemaling, Norwegian for "decorative painting",...is the name of a form of decorative folk art that originated in the rural valleys of Norway. Some[who?] art historians interpret "rose" as a reference to the rose flower, although the floral elements are often so stylized that no specific flower is identifiable and not used at all in some designs..."

I took this at 800 ISO by mistake and also had the camera on a tripod and forgot to shut the stabilization off, but I liked it, so here it is.:)

Oh, this is really spectacular, great close shot. Higher iso looks under control. How's the new Oly doing so far? V

A very attractive piece. Nice detail, I can't see grain from the ISO.

This reminds me of some of the PA Dutch artwork! Beautiful design Frank! V
ps ~ I frequently forget to turn off the IS too! Not really sure if it makes that much of a difference...
