Yet another first attempt..

Hi all,

I took a few pictures of what I believe is technically called the "wife's pink flower". It was taken with a 450D and a Canon 24-105L fitted with a kenko extension tube: Comments, tips and criticism requested!

Having previewed the post, I already see the difference in brightness... shot in RAW, so no excuse

Nice and pretty sharp.

Just need a little more light.

Not bad for a first go, but you do need to work more with the lighting.

Flowers dont tend to move much so you can play to your hearts content.

Normal table lamps work well, but you'll then need to correct for the WB later.
