My First Post In This Section

[mom2aidan]

Here are 2 flowers that were in my yard on my rose bushes. Took a shot (no pun intended) at "macro"/nature shots.

I am not sure what the white flower is called. I am not much of a gardener because I tend to kill plants. Anyone know what it is called???

These were also taken this evening while the hot Texas wind was ruining every perfect shot I had. Oh well...so here is what I was able to get.

I'm a Sony person, so I'm not familiar with Nikon. Ask some folks in the Macro Section, and I know they can be more helpful than me. I have a Minolta 200mm macro lens.

I was using my 24-70mm f/2.8 (quotes it can be used as macro as well but it lies)
It was hard to capture anything decent because everytime I got my shot, the wind would blow. Stupid hot wind! LOL.
Also I love being barefoot and being in my front yard I stepped on a thorn just I hit the shutter on my rose bud OWWWWWW it still hurts.

I am going to try again today.



After looking at these, the white flower (still no name for it because I dont know it) doesnt look as well exposed and sharp as it does on my computer. Hmmm.....oh well.

i took a few more last night before the sprinkler system almost got me and my camera soaked (didnt realize it was that time for them to pop up). I also took a few more today and will get them uploaded after touch ups here in a few hours

I think your white flower is a Gardenia, but we have some plant experts around here that know better than me.

Did it have a strong sweet smell? Gardenia is really almost sickeningly sweet smelling.

[mom2aidan]

not sure if it had a smell or not...it is so darned hot outside all i smell is the wet grass from my sprinklers and the oil/gas from my hubs working on the boat...lol

[marcosb]
