These photo’s are truly amazing! The thing I like about photography, as opposed to video, is that “moment in time” aspect that it captures. Whether it is nature photography, like your photo’s, or people and their emotions, photography stops time for that instant. The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”, captures the sentiment of what I’m trying to say. Now if the search engines can only find a way to capture the beauty of pictures and “rank it”, the Internet would be perfect. Unfortunately for us, Google and the other SE’s need a thousand words to rank a single picture.

Flowers already possess one of a kind beauty and uniqueness. And being involved in a photography is an interesting activity. Both amazing! I think I should have that best camera.

Hi this was a great post. The photos are lovely. I love taking photos of flowers and fields of flowers but upclose i always seem to get blurry or under exposed shots.

Thanks Andrew. Will any 50mm macro do or are there variations? (I need to know what to tell the guy in the photo shop)

My favorite is my 50mm macro. So much of the beauty is up really, really close. You want to be able to capture that.

Hey Andrew,

Thank you for sharing your tips. I have personally just started to take pictures (as a hobby) and now that summer is just around the corner I was actually planning on doing a lot of flower photos. After all… flowers don’t move

Any suggestions on what lens to use?

Kind regards,
Maria
