It's that time of year again. We had an early morning rain, and an overcast afternoon which is when I shot these photos.

Used the 40D -- Canon 24-105 f4 IS L -- and Canon 250D macro filter (on some shots). The IS was nice -- allowing me to stop down the aperture and still get blur free photos. Although I think my Sigma 70-200 f2.8 was better -- I used it last year. Helps me get the shots without having to get so close. But it doesn't have IS.



Once again I used my neighbors back yard. She has an amazing flower garden -- the flowers come in waves all through the year. Right now it's tulips.

the first one has beautifull colours and drops! thumb

Assuming you could do a reshoot, maybe you could try to shoot just that portion of the flower for a very nice abstract/close up aspect!

Macro lens or reverse lens macro would do nicely

Thanks -- and a good idea for next time.



I got about as close as I could focus with the Canon 24-105 f4 and Canon 250D close up filter. I could try again with the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 -- but I'll be dealing with DOF issues.
