My Mum likes these flowers she got and asked me for a few snaps before they O.D. Don't even know what they are or how long they last..?

Anyways, gave the 70-200 a run and put the VR to work. Tried different spots in the window light.

1/100s f/4.5 ISO200 200mm (35mm eq:300mm)

1/160s f/4.5 ISO200 200mm (35mm eq:300mm)
Image

1/20s f/4.5 ISO200 200mm (35mm eq:300mm)
Image

1/160s f/4.0 ISO200 200mm (35mm eq:300mm)

The last is a pearler Phepsi. I love the light splash on the flower and the treatment in this case really suits the image.
cheers

they are all nice shots, I would have tried one straight on so you could see the stamen, with the background OOF the others

Thanks guys. :)

I'm quite an uncreative person and can't think of many ideas usually. Also a bit lazy. Tripods make me squirm. :)

They are Tulips and you've done a good job with them.
I luv the deep purplish pink variety on them and have been waiting for them to come in to the florists

Cheers. :)

Does #3 look really crap from compression? Looks fine on my iMac, but on my Dad's new iMac it looks bloody awful! Screens are on the same profile too, but his is glossy screen..
