Spring

Saturday Self-Challenge March 11, 2017
Not having a dedicated macro lens, I focused in to these flowers as closely as I could.
The PiP shows the blossom in the whole frame.

Great close-up, Amelia! The flowers look so crisp and pure. I also like the PiP with its lovely bokeh!

9 years ago.

Amelia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

The PiP was there to show that this photo was not really a macro photo, Gudrun. I had to crop the part in focus.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Well, macro without a macro lens on DSLR needs a bit of subterfuge;-) It's easier to do with a small compact camera.

Great light on this touch of spring, which seems to be a bit lacking in this part N. Yorkshire:(

Best wishes, Doug

Shropshire is usually one of the coldest of the English counties, Doug; but Thursday was actually warm and very sunny. It's been dull since, and now it's raining.

Focused very nicely indeed!

9 years ago.

Amelia ^club has replied to Andy Rodker ^club

Thank you, Andy. I wear specs, but have the optical adjustment on the camera set to a suitable dioptre level so that I can see if the central part of the view is in focus..

Valfal ^club

Beautifully focused and composed shot, Amelia; the bokeh is wonderful against the sharp image of the blossoms!

Amelia ^club has replied to Valfal ^club

Many thanks, Val. The bokeh shows up better on the PiP

Fabulous results Amelia especially working without a macro lens! :)

Amelia ^club has replied to autofantasia

I had the camera setting on the automatic macro, Paul, but sometimes that is next to useless. The best camera I had for macro photography was my (now wrecked) Nikon D40.

Wierd Folkersma ^club

wonderful, blossoms of an appletree?

9 years ago.

Amelia ^club has replied to Wierd Folkersma ^club

It definitely isn't apple blossom, Wierd, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Maybe something like damson. I thought it was blackthorn at first sight, but the colour of the bark was too light and there were no thorns.

Beautiful early spring capture Amelia.

This is exquisite !

I have a macro lens I hate and hates me. So all my "macros" are close ups with the other camera ! It works for me !!

Karen's Place ^club

This is a very nice crop with lots of detail. It's so good to see some tree blossoms. Everything here is still dormant. Nicely done especially without a macro lens.
