I have a hard time getting a good macro focus, Dave but every now and then I get lucky with the shot. As hard as I try, I seem to get a lot of blurry images, even with a tripod. Today, I decided to try practicing with handheld shots.

| May 25, 2012 @ 6:35pm | This was an amazing shoot with a new camera, Flo but, I doubt if the images are the result of the camera, but more shooting in continuous mode and grabbing one that has a decent focus. I worked on this one in the garden longer than usual because of the color and patterns in the blossom. I've got to find out what this flower is.

| May 27, 2012 @ 1:56pm | Wes, there is a clarity and smootheness to this image that keeps me coming back.
I think you've got something here with your new camera. And I am glad to see that your eye has not failed you!
The soft, smooth detail alludes to this flower detached and "floating" amidst a sea of green.
This is one which I would love to see dead-center in the frame with a touch less "sea" around it. While floating in the beautifully blurred background enhances this shot, I think maybe a little less "sea" would lead to a lot more "see."
Excellent image, Wes! I look forward to many more!
PPY-definitely!

| May 28, 2012 @ 8:23am | As usual, I appreciate your constant reminders of different ways to look at ones images, Greg. I did intend to make this a square crop with less negative space but missed the mark along the way. Maybe I was thinking of more space for the blossom to move in when the wind blew.
Nice suggestion.
