Flowers and Things

Flowers are just so darn pretty.  That is why I take photos of them.  A telephoto lens cranked out to maximum focal length or a macro lens will give you the best opportunity to get a good shot of a flower.  Pay attention to the aperture you are using when taking the photo.  Using a small aperture will give you a large depth of field in focus.  The down side of this is that you may end up with very slow shutter speeds that are prone to giving you camera shake.  Using a tripod would be best but many times flowers are "grab" shots that you just happen upon.

Here are some of my best recent shots.
