300th Post - Pansies

This is my 300th post and, frankly, never would have believed that I would find 300 things to write about in a little over 17 months.

I'm learning my new camera and am trying to get a macro to my satisfaction with the camera kit lens, 18mm - 55mm. By sun time, it was 9 AM and these flowers were not as perky as they might be later in the day. The photos were taken outside the doctor's office -- hubby had a 9:15 AM daylight savings time appointment.


I like this one best. Now if I can just recreate what how it was done. No tweaking on this one other than cropping.


This one is a great color. I couldn't find one that did not have some dirt/trash on it but took it anyway. Hubby was waiting and he is not the most patient so did not take the time to pretty it up.



I had to do some tweaking to get this one, i.e., cut out and resize 150 percent to get the illusion that it is a macro.

BTW, I love my new camera but want a zoom telephoto lens with an image stabilizer.

Until next time, God bless.
