New Toy for my camera

Nigella (Love in a mist)

I treated myself to a new lens yesterday - a macro lens. This means I can take better close up shots, no need to crop either. Now to spend the several hundred pounds for a ring flash.

Geranium versicolor


Fuchsia magellanica

Spirea blossom

I've just ordered the £300 ring flash to go with the lens now.. Expect more close ups!

You take the best photo's I've seen anywhere. You ought to license them or something.

I'm partial to the lovely veined qualities of the geranium. I wish that variety would grow in the jungles of H-Town.

ThanThanks very much berty! I wouldn't go so far as to say that my photos are the best but I am pleased with some of them!

It is a lovely geranium. It is a species perrennial and Houston may be a tad too hot for it. It might bve worth seeing if it can be grown though
