get a lightweight tripod and use manual focus...if its windy shade the flower with a card...watch the sun though
then you are into the area of using smallish apertures...
your shots are good though...

Oxeye daisies, seen along the River Frome in Dorchester.

Ox Eye daisies are generally the wild biennials, these look like Shasta Daisy perennials
We had them - the same patch in the garden for many years but they seemed very hard to get a new clump going and eventually fizzled out sadly

 

[garryknight]

Thanks, 4wd. These were definitely growing wild on the banks of the river. There were gardens some way beyond, so maybe these were wind-blown.
