Leafs, Flowers and a Duck!

[Grendel]

Here's a few of my keepers from the Wisley Gardens meet on Saturday. All taken with Canon 30D and 100mm macro lens. I also took some with my Sigma 17-70 but they're nearly all pants. Glad I'm not quite the last to post from the day - come on Martin (Minkey Monkey), let's be havin' you!

Yet again this is a style of photography I haven't really tried before so I'd appreciate any comments, good or bad ;)

I named the duck :lol:

There were lots of photogs there with notebooks, cataloging their shots. I can see why now, it's so they know what the hell they all are when they get home. Personally I haven't got a clue :) White flower, Pink Flower, Red leaf etc is the best I can do :lol: :lol:

[Jonnyreb]

:lol: Favourites are 2 - love the angle and the duck - very amused expression :thumbs:

[Richard T]

1,5 and 6 for me

[Dark Star]

Oooh These are really nice Paul! 4, 5 and 7 are crackers (and I'd have no idea what any were called either!)

[Joe T]

1 for me!

I have a question though Paul - are you undergoing a sex-change by any chance? :lol:

[Ladybird]

Love the angle on the daisies:love: my fave flower that, like no1 a lot too, very very lovely set of shots :thumbs:

Joe, that's just rude:razz:

[MrGrumpy]

I think #2 is great, followed closely by #5. I also like #1 but would have preferred a slightly greater DoF.

[Grendel]

1 for me!
