I actually started with the yellow flower/weed. Then noticed the other weed and ended up with the nail head cause the wind didn't affect it!

John, these were all hand held so I was a bit skeptical about sharpness and DOF until I had them downloaded.

Thanks Dick, who would of thought weeds could look good?

Thanks, Therese, these were the only flowers (weeds) I could find today! And I got tired of the WIND messing with my subject, hence the nail.

Thanks Jim, it's amazing what a lens change can do for ya. I've had the 70mm-200mm on the camera for way to long! Bring on some wildflowers!

Deb- In windy conditions try moving your head and camera side to side really fast while holding the shutter button down. It won't work but it would make a great video

You did good. I like the nail head and the yellow flower best

Humm...Nope, won't work Michael. (No, I didn't try it!) Remember the 1DsMkII doesn't have video capabilities. So It would just be extremely blurry pictures.

Thanks, the flower is ok, but I like the nailhead with shallow dof.

I tried to get all four quotes in one post, but I can't remember how to do that.
