Thank you for your honest answer and critique. That is what I need to understand and be more involved in my new venture of photography. I shall do my very best to apply the techniques you have offered. The photo was not in a very convenient place to set up and take still shots (Crowded and busy super market) However I did my best to compose and photograph the flowers. I could see the DoF was very shallow and it was not easy to keep the camera still. (my reason/ or excuse if you may ) Thank you again Nikonian72.
Here it is, re-posted, I apologize for forgetting to click on store original. I will be sure not to let it happen again.
I have rechecked the data and yes i was using my sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro lens. I am venturing into something new for me, so I must ask the difference between a close-up and a Macro. (My ignorance showing) Thank you for your opinions and critiques. Don't hold back, I want a very honest answer, if possible :-)
Thank you for dropping by and looking, Linda from Maine :-)
I am so very greatful for the kind comment.
No the fires are all gone now.
This drought really took a toll o the water supply, as all the
l;akes are almost dried up and the water table is dangerously low.
Several of my neighbors have to truck water to their homes for washing and showers.
Their wells have dried up.
Any way :-)
Keep on clicking.
Sorry to hear that Don.
I believe I know what you mean. I get a very lonely and empty feeling when mine is not around.
I was driving home from doing some errands when I noticed the sky
The sun was setting and gave a beautiful sunset. The problem
was we had a fire going n ear Yosemite Park. I took some photos any way
and did my best to render what I saw. I came close but It is hard to duplicate the magnificence of the sunset. The clouds were dense with smoke.
I was grocery shopping with my wife, when we saw the flower display in the corner . I could not pass up taking a few shots. It may be weird, but I always carry one of my DSLRs with me. I am never without a camera. This day I had my Nikon D7000 with my newly acquired 105mm Macro lens.
Found this Bee on the ground and I had my newly aquired 105mm Macro Lense with me. The Bee co-operated and let me take my time focusing my camera.
