...and a few more of the Zinnia's

...and a few more of the Zinnia's · 08:04 PM

Had a brief shower this afternoon and saw the sun setting through the trees lighting on these that we just planted at the mailbox. Walked back to the house, snagged the 100D and got a few decent shots.

All in all, not a bad afternoon in my book!

Hope you enjoy.....

Beautiful shots! Both are great, but I prefer the first because of its broad range of colors.

What's the magnification on the second?

GLThorne · 03-20-2007, 08:20 PM

Thanks Adam. I shot the second with a +4 filter at 55mm. Got to make due with what I've got for now!

Gorgeous shot, excellent detail!

GLThorne · 03-20-2007, 08:30 PM

Thank you MA'AM!!

I love zinnias. Maybe you should try gazinias, they're perennials.

GLThorne · 03-21-2007, 07:34 AM

Never heard of 'em!! Knowing about them and all is the wife's area. I just plant 'em, water 'em and take photos of 'em!!!

Really nice macros Greg, good color, nicely framed, good use of the shallow dof. Very impressive.

Thanks Buddy! Much appreciated, especially from a flower enthusiast!

Greg, were you using the kit lens with the close-up filters for these shots too? My, my, my, I gotta pull that out of my bag more!

GLThorne · 03-21-2007, 07:53 AM

You know it!!

Love the composition and colors on the first one (and the second one ain't chicken feed either). Keep those wonderful flower shots coming!
