Today I thought that I would try to improve on yesterdays close-up pictures. I started by using my 50mm lens and then added a X4 close-up lens. The bare lens is ok but you end up too far away and too much background. With F3.5 no depth of field. I tried 7-8 and that worked but was the best I could get.
Some of the picture are an improvement on yesterday's but I have put in some new one, lets start.

| Red Rose |
This is the same Rose as yesterday but now taken with the X4 lens in front.
 |
| Yellow / orange Rose |
This is a beautiful rose when fully out
 |
| Pink rose |
These three roses have quite a following on Flickr as I photograph them every year. If you click the link for Flickr and look under Flowers and Nature you will find them.

| Fly on a Lily |
I nearly missed this, as I said yesterday look and see.
 |
| Bee |
I don't know what this is but it is a messy flower that drops petals everywhere
Just after lunch that Pesky Blackbird came back, grabbed a mouthful of food and landed on the birdbath.
The next thing he get very aggressive thinks he owns the place.
See what I mean
The next one is him flying off, Not a very good picture but I was lucky to get it
That's it for today but I went to Motley Hill this afternoon, and toot some very nice pictures. I may rain so I will save them
Have fun

I loved the flowers yesterday Trev ..... and these are even better !!!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned on the post below about moving when you do close up stuff ....
I use a tripod to take my card pictures .... stops the 'out of focus' shake as I set it on a 10 second delay timer! I know the birds won't wait..... hi hi but your flowers would be okay
With flower I sometime do but with flies and such like they are off before you can get set up. A lot is how high or how far away you can get from what you are trying to photograph. With the X4 lens it in inches.
ReplyDeleteI use a remote switch when I use a tripod.
BTW with the X2 you get more room.
Hi all, I think the pink rose is the best one.
ReplyDeleteBo ho I've been working all day so no time for photography.
