Having seen the great flower pictures on here and in a couple of the Facebook groups I visit, I packed a macro lens and took myself off to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire to give flower photography a try. Much tougher than I thought, especially on the old knees and getting a decent focus with a wide open shutter on a windy day is far from easy. The depth of field on the f2.8 lens I tried was so fine, the slightest of breezes took the flowers out of focus.
Although I'm not a great flower lover, I did enjoy my visit to the Hardwick gardens and I'll certainly have another try, prefferably on a far less windy day.
