A Photo a Day #37

Unfurling
1/125     F3.5     ISO 200

I took this at the weekend whilst playing around with my new macro lens. It is actually quite a skill to hold still enough for perfect crispness. In the future, I may get a tripod or some kind of kit to help with this.

This beautiful flower was part of an arrangement inside a conservatory. The background blur is the garden behind. Do you notice a February theme? Colour is certainly something I'm seeking out at the moment (probably caused by the horrible bleakness I've felt this Winter). Roll on Spring!

A Photo a Day #18

Blue and Yellow
1/100     F4.5     ISO 200

If you've seen yesterday's Photo of the Day, you may recognise these lovely flowers. I believe these are Primulas. The flowers are fairly true to colour here, although in the lighting they did appear a bit more towards purple-blue. I tend to take stick with my portrait lens when shooting on the go, but the macro might have done an even better job.

A Photo a Day #17

Flowers and Bicycles
1/100     F6.3     ISO 200

Taken the at the weekend just passed on a trip to Chichester, seeing these colourful flowers really cheered me up despite the cold weather. I like the layers of focus that were achieved here, with the bicycles just out of focus and then the shoppers in the background.
