Might be a little soft for your 'alpha-sharp' eyes. It was shot with the camcorder's telemacro.

Another nice shot from your camcorder Yildiz :D The plant has many fine hairs which perhaps give it a "fluffy" appearance and we are all used to your super CZ 16-80 3d effect!

Nice one Yildiz, but I notice a slight CA. But overall for a camcorder it's great. I wonder what the NEX-VG10 will do?

Your complements are are most welcome, as they are always also encouraging! :D

The flower remind me of a lamb's softness while I was shooting.

Thanks, Birma.

Thank you, Dr. Harout. : )

The CA is a matter to be remembered with this camcorder. This is not the first time for CA. Usually, a slight shift of the angles and it disappears completely but mostly occurs when the light comes down too brightly onto any subject with light colours like white or yellow.

Maybe a type of filter can fix it, I don't know.

NEX-VG10 does appear to be one to cause a lot of stir among us when it's finally released and sample movies are produced. It is going to be versatile for sure but maybe a little heavier and more like a DSLR accessory-wise requiring a good big back-pack.

Definitely an exciting item! : ))

I like that one Yildiz, what flower was that?
Dusty that second one is about the best exposure wise yet on that flower I think.

Thank you, Greg. :D

My flower is the Snapdragon as commonly known. Its Latin name is Antirrhinum.

And your flowers from the side of the road are Gazanias. : ) Good catch. They are not much of a stray flowers like weeds, that is. They usually are garden plants.

Love that first one Dusty - great colours.

Nice shot from the roadside Greg, I like the composition, and those yellow flowers are little smashers.

Thanks Yildiz, Birma
You are correct Yildiz, those were put there by the City gardeners for sure. They do a good job around the town actually.

No end to the great flower photos in this thread. Congrats one and all.

A couple of shots taken at my neighbours. They have a nice garden with really nice flowers.

Lovely shots DA, I particularly like the fuschia. Both shots have a great 'zing' around their colour and sharpness - great stuff :D.

Lovely, lovely shots! :D

David, thanks for sharing these. The first flower blossom, fuschia is amazing! What a delicately formation...And I truly like the warm yet bright colours of the second.
