These are the little flowers on the ground that I referenced in yesterday’s post. They are no larger than my thumbnail. I think they almost look like little bearded irises. It was when taking this photo that I drew the most interest from incoming McDonald’s patrons. I was on the ground using my Ziploc bag of rice to steady the camera while shooting. I would like to have been able to pull in even closer, but that will entail the purchase of some new equipment. Not ready to do that (financially I’m not ready) right now.
Minolta Maxumm 7000 Kodak Ultra Color ISO 400 1/60 f-11 Aperture Mode Sigma 105mm macro/portrait lens (I used my little reflector here, too.)
nice DOF, well done.
unique flower. at a glance, it looks like a bunches of Pink Panther. no kidding. nice job Micki.
very cool , i like the faded part of it , and I like the purple , nice =)
Beautiful colors, nice depth of field. They seem so much bigger than your thumbnail. Well done.
Well composed and nice dof, well done Micki!
Great shot! If you want to get really, really close for really, really cheap, try a reversed lens. You can get a 50mm lens (brand doesn't matter, but get the fastest you can) on ebay for $15 or so, and a reversing ring is another $5 or $10.
I like the color. Good one, Micki.
Great colors and the dof works well with the color contrast. I too wish i could afford a macro lense ... but no matter how hard i try, i cant seem to justify it over groceries for the rest of the school year :)
Very pretty Micki. Nice dof.
Thats one thing about photography. It takes a lot of money and at times it's just hard to justify something new. I always get buyers remorse no matter how big or small the purchase was.
What a pretty close-up shot! I also had to laugh at your description when you described how you took the photo... Did someone take a photo of you at that point? :-D
Once again a beautiful photo. Very pretty. You must spend a small fortune on processing and film. How many rolls do you process in a week?
I love the point of focus. And the purple is beautiful!
A lovely, delicate, photo.
Its a lovely shot with nice tight DOF some lovely colours as well they look orchid like very delicate
Great shot! Crisp details and the colours are so vibrant and clean.
Beautiful! I love the depth of field choice, and the rich colors.
Beautiful purple and I like the detail, wonderful tiny flowers :)
Simply lovely! Great colours and shallow DOF.
Micki, this is so beautiful!
I just love it!
Glad to see life is blooming there, as well!
It's a good time of the year...
a beautiful shot, great DOF and colour
this is beautiful micki! really well done, and utterly worth all the crouching outside of mcdonalds. one of my personal favorites of yours ;)
Beautiful flower & great DOF! cheers ;)
this is realy nice shot. i like colors and that blurry background.love it :)
Very beautiful photo & intensely soothing color combination.
Lovely! Nice use of DOF! A very beautiful frame !
Beautifully done. The colors are fantastic and DOF perfect.
Nice shot, great colour. I always carry around my beanbag, a lot less hassle than a tripod, so the ricebag also sounds like a good idea.
