A couple from my flower bed. funny thing is we didn't plant these. Last year I took out what I thought was all the old flowers. And placed new ones in certain spots. These randomly popped up.

My fav is #230. Which Macro do you use? It is on my short(er) list but haven't decided. I had the Sigma 150/2.8 in the past and it was great so leaning that way again,

I would. It's a unique plant

Very pretty. This thread inspired me to go out and photograph an Easter Lilly that I've had growing on the edge of the woods on my property which comes up annually, but the last couple of cold days messed that up. It was a very nice looking one when I walked my daughter over to see it last weekend.

I'm game. Really surprised to see so many dandelions flowering. Maybe I just don't remember them this early.

While watching my little girls play outside I decided to mess around with my macro focus rings a bit on my 50 1.8.

 

I give you, Dandelions.

I never looked that closely at these flowers, the seeds are really cool. As for macro photography, I've never really done much with it since most of my gear is for astrophotography, weddings, and landscapes. I found composition could easily be a tricky thing to accomplish due to the fine angles involved.

I really dig the middle picture. Very pretty.
