After work tonight, I spent 45 minutes photographing a plant. 133 pictures later, I'm left with these that I like. Macro lens photography on plants isn't easy. Not everything shows up in focus, which has always made it hard to take pictures of plants in the past. Not going to bore you with the plant anatomy terms (I can still name the stamen, stigma, etc), but getting them all to be in focus in a picture is hard. Considering these were taken in my office, not too shabby. I haven't really used my macro lens outside yet, I could only imagine how hard it would be to get these pics in real world situations.
fyi, this is what the plant looks like sitting in our office. Pretty, but not very interesting, right? Add in macro lens, proper background, and some natural lighting. Tada!
Great photos, Mike! Good thing you didn't have to deal with the wind, bugs or ground! :) Beautiful!!
