I wandered around my garden this morning, and gave myself the task of using natural lighting for some close-up shots (with the aid of my trusty new lightmeter!). My mistake was ignoring the composition aspects (unforgiveable, I know). Comments and suggestions welcome! :)

This is a Geraldton Wax:

This is a Bottlebrush. I was attracted to this because it showed so many stages of blooming:

A Rose! :)

These are from a visit to a private garden that was opened for charity on Father's Day:

    Great color and clarity. Good work!
    More Photography . . . Less Photoshop [. . . except when I do it]

    A Nikon D80 with an 18-200VR lens. Metering was with a Sekonic L-358.
