This is the bits of one such bloom. Taken with the 105 and the SB800 and the smallest aperture I could muster.

Camelia
We have a beautiful old Camelia tree in the backyard which produces a mass of blooms from April through to July or so. They drop like maniacs and mulch quite well.

Thanks Chris - I just checked - aperture was f32, and I wasn't very close.

That is really excellent - did you cropped the pic much

-------------------------------- I started my life with nothing and I’ve still got most of it left
There is very little resizing if any, the image is around
900x800=720,000 pixels of 6,016,000, so it is 0.12 of the total image. I guess that is an 88% crop leaving 12% of the original image area. Greg - - - - D200 etc

That's a great photo Greg. At first I misread the topic and thought you'd taken a photo of Prince Charles' new wife

Exellent. As Chris said the DOF is amazing, but I guess that's because of the shot distance (and the SB800 would have helped there too). The tight crop works really well too. I gather this was taken indoors after the flower fell from the tree so you had control over annoying variables like the breeze. Peter

Thanks Peter.
The flower was actually on the tree, although the day was fairly still. The SB800 (with diffusion dome in this instance) is fantastic with the choice of aperture and shutter speed it allows. Greg - - - - D200 etc

Amazing, love the bright colours. I am a big fan of good macro shots
Thanks folks.
Matt, the SB800 was on the camera. It really is an unbelievably good flash. There was plenty of daylight (not direct sun) but I wanted lots of DOF. The diffusion dome on the SB800 is very nifty. Greg - - - - D200 etc
