Post up your flower pics!
All this photography talk got me motivated on the weekend to pull out the 40mm macro lense, I did have more success at it this time, and seems I just need to spend some more learning how to use it better.
Flowers are known for being a difficult subject to photograph because they move, a lot! There is always wind at the time you want to photograph a flower. Some people will secure the flower, tie it up with wire or something like that, or cut it off and put it in position. I usually try a tripod and wait for the wind to stop. This time It was relatively still day, for the last two photos, the purple one and orange one, I held the flower with two fingers while holding the lense with the other fingers, that made the flower steady to the lense.
