From your garden/backyard
I was inspired by the macros posted by Pat in her garden and today took out the Vivitar 90mmf2.5 MD mount
macro lens after a long time and went into backyard. Taking cue from Pat I took these without flash and also
at relatively wide open (f4/f5.6) and therefore they are tad softer. My usual setting would be around f11/f16
and a flash.
Since the warm weather is upon us (in Northern Hemisphere), I welcome you to add your own.
With best regards,
Sury

Re: From your garden/backyard
Nice idea for a thread Sury
Looking at those three pictures Sury I say "bravo for no-flash and 'soft' pictures"! Those are all great. I much prefer them to the harder light from your flash pictures. I like the softer colours and the back-lit leaf is great. Just IMHO of course .

Good idea for a thread. Sury, you've got some good flower photos there!
Here are photos from the last 2-3 days (Canon G15).

Re: From your garden/backyard
Glad to be of some sort of inspiration! Thankyou, Suri, for the mention. I think my favourites of yours are the yellow roses - you certainly have some very colourful blooms there. I do a lot of my photography in the garden - birds/flowers/frogs/invertebrates. As long as it isn't pouring with rain I'll brave most weather.
Interesting images, Bakubo - I'm still trying to puzzle out what that first one is?

Re: From your garden/backyard
It looks a bit bigger than our leaves - some kind of palm? It's a very interesting image .bakubo wrote:It is just a big, dead leaf hanging from a tree.Wildieswife wrote:Interesting images, Bakubo - I'm still trying to puzzle out what that first one is?

Re: From your garden/backyard
When I saw Henry’s dead leaf/frond I thought it might be similar to the one down the back under the mango tree, it’s some kind of palm I think. (it took a while to remember where it was)
Greg
Ps I didn’t know if the A100+F56(+torch to see where the plant was) could take a photo in pitch black darkness, it was an interesting challenge to do that, it could even do it without the torch but doing it that way the aiming/framing was a bit shabby…or shabbier.

Re: From your garden/backyard
Ken, your first shot is great and I like the colors and presentation (rotation), but I'm afraid the second one came a bit unnatural and burned. Is it the WB?
Re: From your garden/backyard
Those healthy, still alive leaves do look very similar so are probably the same. Enjoy them while you can because someday they will be dead, dead, dead and look like mine.

Re: From your garden/backyard
Ken, I like both of those, especially the first one. The second one also looks good, but the petals are blown out. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just depends on what you want. It does make for an interesting image as it is though.
