Floral Opening

Copyright  7/13    Diana Putnam

I love having my own flowers growing so that I can go out and play with my camera.

It is a backup camera as my Panasonic is "on the blink" so just as with
everything....it is a learning process and the more I use it the better my
photography will be.  I like this Nikon as it has great detail and color quality but I don't
have the ability to get as close as I would like.  I enjoy the super closeups with the
blurred backgrounds that I can achieve on the Panasonic.....but I had
good photogenic subjects for this shot.  Different colors, degree of flowering, texture in
the bark and the flower centers....a lot is actually "going on".
