Hi there,
I am fairly knew to DSLR and even newer to macro (been shooting macro for 2months) have not been able to shoot due to re-injuring my back and having teeth pulled, so I have been chompong at the bit pardon the pun.
Here are 3 shots of Correa flowers, they are Australian native fuscia's.
This is my first post on this site.
Comments and critacism welcomed good and bad. These flowers are about 2cm long, I love this lens and the kenko rings.
Regards Darren

Hi Darren, and welcome to the site!
You've been through a lot of woe lately, congratulations on being able to get out and photo some beautiful flowers!

Thanks for the comments and for taking the time to look Mike, I can't wait for spring here in Australia so the creepy crawlys come out to play.

Darren,
Thanks for joining the forums here.
Your images are very nice. The second and third seem particularly well done -- classic strobe lighting with black background, very crisp. The colors on that second one are outrageous!
The first one might have turned out better with focus a hair farther back. Or maybe not. This is always hard for me to predict, so I generally just shoot a bunch with different focus points and then pick the one that I like the best, or stack several together using Helicon Focus.
Nice stuff -- welcome aboard!

Hi Rik,
thanks for looking and commenting, I never think to vary focal points, will give that a whirl it may give another dimmension to my shots
Thanks for that
