Last November I purchased a refurbished D810 and had played around with it but hadn't really taken photos with it. Currently, I am taking a Continuing Education (hobby) photography class. I thought it would be a good way to get myself motivated to go out and take photos plus it never hurts to take a refresher course. Yes, I have learned a few things that I didn't know before. In search of something to photograph, my neighbor's mom volunteered her new lily. It is labeled a Fairy Lily and I thought I would share it with all of you.
These were taken with a Tamron 90mm macro lens, 1/15 second (hand held), f16, auto white balanced and a little processing in Lightroom. The second one was 1/30 second (hand held), f8.
Beautiful shots. I wondered what they were called.
Nice shots. 1/15th of a second handheld with a 90mm lens is something I wouldn't try unless the lens has VC or the camera has IBIS. You must be rock steady.
You're doing good. Keep it up. I doesn't happen overnight.
What a steady hand, Dodie! Beautiful work.

Thank you JRiepe!!! This lens has 3.5 stops of image stabilization. I credit the lens for most of my success but will say that I was sitting in a patio chair with my elbow being supported by the arm of the chair and pressing the shutter at the end of my breath. Thank you for for looking and the very nice comment.

Thank you DAN Phillips!! Due to work my hobbies were put on hold. Retirement and Covid got me started again but was limited due to lockdown. Now that things have eased up I will be doing a lot more and you are correct that getting back into it doesn't happen overnight.
Thank you for viewing my photos and commenting!!
