I’m pretty sure that my neighbors think I’m crazy as most times when they see me in the garden I’m plopped on the ground, camera in hand, nose to nose with a flower.   Tonight I actually went outside to photograph Lily of the Valley, but ended up photographing the pink Columbine as well.  I used a camera bag for a black backdrop on this one.  ISO 200 and f/22 with my 100mm macro lens brought out the detail of the petals.  Imagine that…no soft focus!  🙂
