Haven't been on DA for some time, so had some catching up to do.. And since I'm a stickler for flower pictures I thought this one to be quite beautiful.

Oh my gosh, it is August... where did the time go? What a beautiful thing to view in the morning. One of my favorites. Hmm... but don't get your hopes up just yet... if we're still having 30+ degree celcius highs... maybe you might still have a winter lingering.

Hee how right you were. Snowfalls with a vengeance around the country here, nothing here in JHB of course, but it's bloody freezing. Sorry for those flowers who played their cards early!

I think there is time for one more early morning visit to Emmarentia to get some mist/fog?

Stunning capture of a gorgeous flower, Ian. Great sharpness and DOF, with outstanding colors. Well done!

MrStickman In reply to Wessonnative [2006-08-13 13:48:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again. DOF is hard to get on Macro as I'm learning? Especially if there is just a tiny bit of movement going on. Practice, pracice!

Wessonnative In reply to MrStickman [2006-08-13 23:52:56 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I certainly sympathize with your struggles with DOF control and wind. Even at f32, the DOF is so shallow, it's almost non-existent.

Heck, winter's been over for like ever here. It's been blistering hot for too long. Gah, I hate the heat! Can't wait 'til winter comes back. I'd rather freeze my butt off than sweat it off. lol

With you on that one. I do prefer the cold to the heat, but not tooo much cold!

Like I keep tellin' people. You can only take so many clothes off in public until you're arrested. But, that's only during the summer. Not too many are stupid enough to go streaking in the dead of winter. Though it would be quite funny. lol

Thanks so much. To get bright and clear with Macro is hard, as I'm finding out. Especially when the wind is blowing even just slightly...
