white blossom c&c

CraggyIslander

Went up to the botanic gardens today to try my hand at their orchid collection..... shock horror, they've all been trimmed :eek: My favourite the venus fly trap and his friends have been moved out as well :mad:

But as it was a gorgeous day, strolled around and did get this one:




(click for the 1.2Mb version) no processing other than a slight crop and a small white balance adjustment. The crop was necesarry as there were smudges on the lens I didnt notice :rolleyes:

PS my other lenses are jealous of the 100mm macro one, it never leaves my camera!

PPS maybe we should have a macro meet someday

Now that that's off my chest.
Cool shot, you don't see many macros against the blue sky.

I also went to the Botanic Gardens the other day and nearly
every photo I took looked like that.

I thought i had at least one section of each flower focused
in the viewfinder but no!
I think maybe I should have used the tripod ?

It's a little on the soft side but well composed and the retention of detail is excellent, which is very difficult with a white subject being directly lit by sunlight.
