Thank you! Spring is going on full bore here, and there is an incredible variety of flowers. Wish it would last a bit longer than it does.

Thanks, Jenn. No, this one was shutter priority! It's a very shallow DOF because I was only a few inches away from the flowers; had the zoom set at 54mm. I think if I had put this on AV priority, maybe f/16, more flowers would be in sharp focus. But it was a bright day and I wanted to make sure I didn't get any ugly blowout on the white areas. Setting the shutter speed at 1/1000 seems to prevent that problem!

Ah! Very good technique, Jean. I will have to remember that myself.

I hope you will, Chris. There's nothing like spring, and before you know it, it'll be over! Summer photography isn't that great, flower-wise.
