Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - Barbara G. - Oct 5, 2013
Here is your opportunity to post some of the photos you have taken of flowers. They can be from any season, or time of the year. Post some general information such as the type of camera you used, settings used, as well as info about the setting if you can for the other members.
Feel free to add to the thread as you like and have fun practicing your digital photography skills!

I have a strange feeling this will be one highly popular thread
Starting with a simple one..

Both the dahlia and the frittialia are lovely. Nice work, well done, melvin. particularly like the soft tones of the dahlia.

Taken by Sony HX1, 1/4 sec, f 2.8.
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - Dean - Oct 14, 2013
Interesting image. Did you choose f2.8 because you were looking for the shallow depth of field or was it to keep the shutter speed to something you could hand hold? With no visible background you could easily have reduced the aperture and brought the whole of the flower into focus. Great detail in the flower though and interesting composition. Overall - I like it.
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - melvin - Oct 14, 2013
i apologize for omiting any details, camera was a canon 5d, with 100mm is macro lens, apeture was f4 shutter was around 1/60th, hand held
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - lvanderzee - Oct 14, 2013
Used my Fugi finepix (not an SLR) with the Program setting ISO 800. THis is a flower I could not resist because of the water droplets

Great shot for a compact, “Ivan”, especially at such an ISO. Good job.
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - EdMak - Oct 14, 2013
Great, I would clone out the "Blobs" on the right side. Ed.

Thank you!
It was because of a DOF. I wanted it shallow and focused on the center of the rose to show off the texture and the complexity as much as possible. Also, with any other setting background would be visible/textured and I wanted to avoid that.

Early morning light, bit hazy..

This is a small part of a wild flower meadow, photographed in August this year. Settings on Pentax K-5: 40mm, Aperture Priority f/9, 1/2000s. Strange settings as I carelessly hadn't checked that the ISO was left on 1000. But on the positive side, there should be no camera shake or wind movement of the flowers!
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - Barbara G. - Oct 30, 2013
Very nice on the recent additions to the thread! Thank you for sharing with us! Really enjoying them!

Next year, if you can return, try getting down lower, almost level with the flower heads.

Summer seems so long ago, lovely image
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - MrB - Oct 30, 2013
Thank you Dean (and thanks also for the suggestion for next time), and thank you Alberm.
And I agree with Barbara - lots of delightful images here.
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - EdMak - Oct 30, 2013
All colourful, good for testing printer? Thanks. Ed.
RE: Practicing Digital Photography: Flowers - danielbennett2020 - Nov 2, 2013
My Canon T5i with a 100 mm Macro. I probably had a 4x magnifying lense on it as well but I can't remember. I had 18 MP to work with and I cropped it rather severely to get the image. Hand held at ISO 100 and 1/320. Took quite a few shots to get just a few in focus and this was the best of the bunch.
