I have never really shot flowers, but since they were blooming in the backyard thought I would give it a go. Shot at 200mm 1/15 and f11.

Beautiful shot... nice isolation and nice background that isn't black

Thank you, looks like shooting a few flowers could be fun. Especially if I dont have to go anywhere to do it

Which reminds me, I need to sign up for the Japanese Garden session here in Seattle. Is anyone else going to it?
