went to somebody else's garden to get this poppy it was too gorgeous not to miss. don't you just love the detail on the edges.
tip of the day
Take a closer look at familiar plants, flowers growing in the average back garden, or anything you can buy in a simple flower shop, and you'll discover new dimensions of beauty. Fascinating detail can be captured easily with the use of a macro lens that allows you to focus up closely and produce almost life-size images.
What I look out for first, outdoors, or arrange accordingly indoors, is an attractive plant or flower positioned in such a way so that I can get close to it, walk around it and choose effective viewpoints from various angles, high and low. The goal is to highlight interesting details unique to that plant and if possible from an angle not previously explored by others. Foreground and background may need to be adjusted by carefully holding anything disturbing out of the way, possibly using sticky tape or clothes pegs. An unacceptable background can either be thrown out of focus or be replaced by an artificial background, especially if a colour contrast is desirable.
