Perpetual flower photo thread

Geoff-

Thanks for as great looking flower macro. I love the detail in the photo. And an Olympus C-740, that sould show the newbie that it can be done with consumer cameras. Thanks for posting the photo, Geoff.

Here's another from the C-740...

Lovely shot Geoff the background really sells the flower. Knapweed? has such interesting flowers.

Here's one of a Freesia with my Canon A80 to add to the bouquet. I think it is probably a tad overexposed - think the white might be blown rather than white - hard to tell sometimes - the histogram looks OK'ish. I also found the flower a really awkward shape to compose it being like a hockey stick.

All the flowers in this thread are beautiful! Inspired me to take a few shots myself. I was wondering if you flower experts could do a couple of IDs? Taken recently in Southern California, with straight FZ15:

This is beautiful. Exposed just right and not oversaturated. Dont worry too much about blowing highlights a little as long as the you can get the most of the important parts in good exposure.

Here's another one of an Anemone with my Canon A80, indoors, natural light, I think with a Hoya +4 filter but not quite sure.

Does the A-80 lock the zoom in macro? This is a well taken shot - good depth of field as well considering you were indoors! Keep 'em coming, we're really building up a great collection here.
