Cacti of Arizona

Re: Cacti of Arizona
Wow those are really nice. #2 is my fav. I never imagined that cacti growing in the wild would be so attractive. Do they all flower at the same time? That would look amazing.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Great stuff Sury. I had no idea that cacti lit up with flowers like this.

Definitely an a99 for Jaya and an a900 with 50000 milestone to Sury
Re: Cacti of Arizona
Your wife got many good photos of the varied types of cactus in Arizona. Did she get any of the huge saquaro cactus also?

Re: Cacti of Arizona
Henry,
Unfortunately no. We were there barely for 6 hours and had drive back to Phoenix. Missed visiting
the Saguaro National Park and also could not stop roadside to take a few shots. I was happy she
decided to use the camera. Her normal choice and typical equipment would have been her iPhone.

Re: Cacti of Arizona
Well I think she might see the improvement in the shots Sury, those look pretty good I think, nice variety too even though some are the same species they are still different enough in the photos to be a unique view, nice exposure too.

Re: Cacti of Arizona
As I am reading the comments, I realize there may be an error in my approach
in trying to get her and others in the family to be interested in photography. I
was giving them kit lenses and have them try. Instead I should give them some
good glass (as in this case she was shooting with CZ24-70) which is more forgiving
and give you good results despite the photographer. Nothing is addictive like success.

Re: Cacti of Arizona
At least you have her trying.........I tryed to get my wife to go with the a330 when I ot the a700. She seems to have no interest in doing so.
