You’ll see lots more floral photos once my garden is in bloom.  I’ll have shots of lupine, shasta daisies, black-eyed susans, and lots more!

Camera settings: Tamron 90mm, f/5.6, 1/400, ISO 2000

Orchid

Here’s a small carnation with the same lense and settings as the photo above.

Here’s a large carnation that we see more often, also with the same settings.

And last for today is a white chrysanthemum, also the same camera settings.

Thank goodness! I’m ready for spring!  I shot this with a black backboard, placing the flower about 2 feet in front of the board to keep the board looking really black.

These are my hyacinth.  The white ones are much larger than the pink.
