This is how I shoot for my personal viewing enjoyment during cold, grey days of winter. Probably breaks most of the rules, but I enjoy.
The pathway through the back yard.
Crocosmia (front) beginning to bloom.
Shot at sunset yesterday. Light right edge of maple is reflected from a large window.
Path to the patio.
A German Geranium we have had for many years.

You sure you weren't in a botanical garden? Very beautiful, what a wonderful path to wander and capture for winter! Get back outside and Enjoy!
Thanks for your nice comments and for viewing! This keeps us very active, which is essential at our age to keep us going.

Very nice location and pictures.

very nice shots and a lovely garden
What rules? Overcast days make for great photography.
Thanks 4ellen4 for viewing and nice comment!

Thanks Kingmapix for viewing and commenting. I agree, most of my shooting is done early morning, late afternoon, or overcast conditions. I view photography as an art form, and your style should reflect what is pleasing to the photographer (unless, of course, it is a business).

Very beautiful,Jimande.Your garden is amazing.
Thanks for your nice comment, I value your opinions! I shot a macro with the SX50 without yet reading how to operate it, just put on AV and shot handheld. I was amazed at the quality of the picture I've attached. Can't wait to learn how to maximize the camera's ability.

Beuties! The biggest problem I have is holding it steady. I spent all day yesterday playing with it and can't remember how I did anything!
Sounds like me! I used a different technique a few minutes ago, I shot the same two blooms on zoom from about 10 feet away, got a very nice photo (even captured a small bee less that 1/4 inch heading for the bloom). However, the 1600 ISO made the background somewhat grainy, which denoise would not completely fix.
