Flowers

[Old Crank]

Picked up a set of close up lenses. Not the best for macro work but handy to have when you are out and about. Will have to think about dragging the tripod along for max results. Flowers from the Rosengarten in Munich. It isn't peak bloom yet. But I did have a sunny day.

1. Your flowers are beautiful!

I hear you about dragging camera and tripod along. Can get cumbersome, and at times just distracts from the beauty and peacefulness of the walk.

3. I know

I shot a fair amount with a 4X5. It can be meditative. This time no tripod but if I head out deliberately to shoot flowers it will come in handy at times. I also might need to think about a different lens and switch off the auto setting which would mean reading more of the manual..... Thanks for the kind words.
