Loaded to spring
In Newton, MA, we have lots of buds, but not many flowers yet. I expect this to change in the next few days. In the meantime, I shot some of the buds:
In the process, I remembered a macro trick that I'd forgotten. Use the on camera flash, even in sunlight. That's how I managed to get the black background in the first shot (not a photoshop trick, really!) Also, in the process I remembered just how big an issue depth of field is with this sort of work. Even when it's my number 1 concern, it still bites me (as in the second shot.)

If not now, when?

Very nice shots. Down here in south Georgia we are in full bloom. Here is an example from my rose garden. They are just beginning to bloom. The water drops were really there , no spray bottle tricks! : )

This is a Don Juan Rose. It was an interesting shot. It was severly underexposed, almost black. I changed levels in photoshop, but nothing else, with this result. Interesting...
