@pennynoodles he is into it as well? I was concerned at one point, couldn't really figure out why my photos looked fuzzy. Someone pointed out that the camera may have an image stabilizer, but wind moving the subject, aka a flower, will still move, so I started shooting with faster shutter speeds.
@samueltyler2 we saw this in a clearing next to the road. I have no idea what happened, or why. I can only assume a tree or trees came down, the town cut them up and left them, then someone came and threw straw on top. Not a clue why anyone would go that far.
Those are very clear photos - some sort of macro lens I assume? My botanical identification skills are limited, but I wonder if the white flowers are Star of Bethlehem.
I've been on a photography course now so I can use it manually too but I just love to be out there in nature without taking it too seriously. @samueltyler2
@pennynoodles an artist friend of mine, she draws, paints and sculpts once asked if insee the world as a photo. I had never thought of it before she asked. I guess I do. My wife gets angry when I stop and put take photos. Setting the exposure isnt complex, and with digital, doesn't cost anything else.
Such a striking yellow colour. I saw some in a wood the other day that were the tallest I think I have ever seen. They were struggling to reach the sunny spot above. @samueltyler2
@pennynoodlesyes, this one was bright yellow. we seem to be having a bumper crop. they look pretty at times, but the broad leaves really foul up a lawn.
this is on my azalea bush, taken with the 50-250 mm Z kit lens:
Those are truly stunning pics! And I am dead envious as I really cannot get the hang of taking good close up pics..macro defeats me! You've done it brilliantly! I especially love the dandelion - you've framed it so well
It was bigger, I cropped all the blurry background out. I need to start taking my proper macro lens out with me and a tripod. Such a pain to carry everything though. @Adaydreambeliever
Superb collection capturing the season magnificently. Now Penny, please reassure me you weren't out for more than an hour, you kept distance and washed your hands when you got home.
Actually we don't but it is probably because we were working down the garden for two months right under the birdboxes, just as they would've been setting up. A bit gutted really. However, my husband makes the bird boxes ad gives them away and four people have got bluetits in theirs! @AntisocialTroll
