After getting a much nicer D-SLR camera, I realized a feature that had been on my more simple point-and-shoot camera. I am very happy to have the new D-SLR, but I am also happy to know that one type of picture I was always struggling to get with my point-and-shoot is not so hard after all!
There is a macro setting that basically instructs the camera to use a shorter focal length to focus on a nearby object in the foreground.
I like using this feature to get detailed shots of blooms or different features of plants. So here's a look at some of the blooms from my last post - only in macro!

ReplyDeleteLovely photos.They inspire me to take more closeup pictures of my garden flowers,just have to figure out how
ReplyDeleteHiya! Trying to identify the name of the miniature daffodil you have your thumb next to....thx!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Patty, I don't know the name of the daffodil. However, I do know that Brent and Becky's Bulbs offers about every variety of Daffodil on the planet. They have lots of miniatures and I would bet that you could find the same one or one very similar from them.
