A walk through Mrs. Hop's Garden

[Hop]

It was pretty windy and the light was pretty bad, but I though I would get a few pics in this morning... I'm just now getting comfortable taking it off the auto settings:lol:

Nice.

What type of light diffuser did you use for these shots?

Thank you... No diffuser. Just an XT, a 100mm macro and poor lighting on a partly cloudy day

That's great light for stuff like that. Nothing "poor" about it. Nice job Hop.

Now, quick, kill those dandelions. :lol:

Thanks! The dandelion was quickly dealt with shortly after the pictures:lol: However, I am not sure a 6 year old and a plastic rake is the best removal method!

I just assumed these were taken indoors (perhaps in some make shift home studio) when you said "It was pretty windy and the light was pretty bad." I would never guess the lighting was natural and the sharp Dandelion macros are almost impossible on a windy day. How the heck did you manage a low ISO and fast enough shutter speed in low light with those Dandelions?

Great capture!

Sorry for the miscommunication there. It was windy and partly cloudy, but the dandelion was behind some rocks and wasn't affected too much in between gusts. On those I believe I set the camera in AV and set the F-stop and let the camera do the work on the shutter speed... I'm still so new to manual setting and am trying to learn my way around the camera. I just don't have the time I would like to figure it all out:lol:

Thanks again!
