I finally got this Beautiful and most fragrant flower. Tough to shoot. {} Comments and crituque appreciated :>)) Another one...... View attachment 8920 Ok Paul, How about this......
Hi Paul, They are really great flowers and smell soooo nice. I was amazed the flower does not last very long. Yes, tough to shoot at the wrong time of day especially. Thank you !!! Couldn't agree with you more. I did rotate it some. I shot with one hand and holding the branch out of the harsh sun. Thank you for your ongoing help. Much appreciated. Have to try them again....sometime
Very well done Gale. I can't believe that you shot these one-handed. I couldn't hold the cam still enough with both hands. 8) Which lens?
Hi Frank, Thank You kindly.... I really wanted that pic of this flower. Shot some pics the day before and blew them something terrible. So the next day I tried again and knew what was going to happen, so one hand on camera and one on the branch was the only way. I did not think I could pull that off even with VR.
You really controlled the whites pretty well in this shot. Shot one-handed - well, it's said that women have the steadier hands unless they behold the guy of their dreams :lol: I just saw you added a lens baby to your arsenal - fun toy, isn't it?
Harry, Thank you very much, To tell the truth haven't had a chance to play with the Baby lens yet. Can't wait to take some time at the park and just sit and play and try to see what it does. I sure like the effect of them. Should be fun to play with. I am not sure which is harder, one handed or shooting white in sunlight and trying to hide the flower in the shade as much as possible. Took many of it till I got it.
