Yes Scott, I have returned.
Are you interested in going down to Floriade at some stage?

I wonder if we crossed paths today OJ?
Cool pics - a lot of noise in the high ISO shots. Shame about that. I like the panno in #3. Great colours.

Yere, the noise is accentuated by the poor quality JPEG's.  
I resorted to 1600 to get the DOF while still maintaining hand held.
Was there a verdict on a meet to be held at Floriade?

Tristan - one can almost smell the perfume. Just a small point re flowers: it is always better to get down with them and single out one or two for the focus and let the rest be OOF.
MHD - you will just love the 70-200 Chris

Ah, yes - of course. I couldn't figure out how you'd managed to get ISO 100 - I thought it must have been a typo, but then I noticed you're posting with comments saying you're using an EOS.
You Canberra guys have such a great opportunity over the next few weeks. If there are already this many posts on the 1st day, I might have to save myself for the Rhododendrum Festival in Blackheath in November !!
Cheers
Justin

I like the first shot as well because of the composition. In the last few pics you framed a red flower among white ones, I think it'd work to frame it like the first shot (with the 50mm). Good luck, I don't find it easy to photograph flowers (even though they don't move).

They don't move - much!
This was my first outing with my new found +3 close up filter, and I am still far from perfecting focussing whilst using this. The amount of wind around today was easily enough to blow the flowers from in focus to OOF every gust. That became very, very annoying . . .
Thanks regarding the other comments as well. I included the last 3 three particularly to see if there was any preference given to the 3, as I am undecided about what I like. The last one I think is probably my pick.
I am hoping to return later with a tripod, just to provide a little bit more camera support, hopefully meaning that I can get away with slower shutter speeds, and allowing me to drop the ISO to 400.
Thanks for the comments so far,
Tristan
