Flowers! I love taking photos of flowers. Even more than water drops. Flowers with water drops are irresistible.
But my favorite way to take flower photos is REALLY CLOSE UP!
f/5.6, 1/100, ISO 1250, 300mm
Today my 70-300mm lens loved me! The focus is pretty sharp. It worked! Whew.
Thank you, Lonnie, for the flowers! And for a photo op.

Well, first I have to say, Lonnie is a keeper. Flowers! How fabulous. And the photo is fabulous, too. The focus and the composition are both excellent. Very creative shot. I love the black background and the shallow depth of field.
I’ve kept him for almost 40 years- I think it will last!
Oh nice!!!
great, don’t you just love when it all works out the way you planned.
