I am just learning about shutter speeds...why such a high one? and is this with the macro lens that normally gives really good depth of field?

this is a 35yr old manual 50mm prime.
its a fast lens and i set the apperture at f1.7 to give a very narrow depth of field to give the dreamy look.
at f1.7 in sunlight i needed the fast shutterspeed so it wasn't completely blown out although i did overexpose it a bit to add to the bright, soft colouring.

So pretty. I've always loved roses, the smell and the colours. Unfortunately when I grow them they have a tendancy to get the heads kocked off by the rain - always rains as soon as the first ones opened.

It's pretty even if it is pink.
And a flower.
