One is nicer than the next! So sharp! Did you use a tripod for them and did you sharpen PP ?

Hope there'll be more.

I'm not into macro or flowers realy so these shots dont do much for me though I do appreciate the colour. What I wanted to know though was what is the last flower ? reminds me of a frangipani

Hi Margie and thanks for your kind comments! No, I did not use tripod and had much troubles because of the wind. When you go so close to a subject, the slightest move makes you out of focus! As always, I am very much helped by the almighty Photoshop! No digital image is done before PP!
All the best,

Dear Catatac, I am not very much into "flowers" and macro photography, either. As you could already notice , there are other subjects that I am much more into! ) These are just a few shots of a wet then sunny weekend while jogging!

About the last shot; I must say, you got me there! Not being a botanist, I am absolutely unable to answer your question!... But, if you send me the email of your model, I may be able to find it out for you! )))
Cheers

Wonderful pictures... Beautiful colors...... Spring has not arrived here as of yet... But I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks.

Louis, apart from the lovely colour you have in these, I like the slightly subdued light. The light that comes when the sun shines through a damp atmosphere.
What ISO are these, higher than 100?

Thank you Louis...You must have a really steady hand! My close ups tend to not be as sharp!

I just learned today how to move the focus point on the LCD...especially when I go to do close-ups, the camera seems to decide where I want to focus instead of me. Now I can be in control ! That really does help when trying to get a clear, sharp photo!
So much to learn!

Thank you very much, Howie!

Thanks, Mike! I remember that day, first I shot with ISO80, but it was a very dark and wet day; then I put in "Intelligent ISO" that I find very helpful!... So, it is hard to say which one with which, unless we look at the EXIF!
Most of the shots were quite dark; I had to tweak them in Photoshop!
All the best,
