Withering flowers.

Clematis by gearoidmuar

I seldom photograph flowers, as I don't like the results, but I photographed this withering plant in my back garden a couple of months ago, or so. I love this image. The crispness of the Olympus E3 cannot be matched in my experience by my big Canons. I don't know why. Even though the high ISO of the Olympus is poor enough and the continuous AF if less than useless, for more static subjects it always seems nicer than Canon...

Lovely colours and texture on this Garry.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Nice and crisp that is! Very well done

I give a big plus! Like the sharpness and the 3D feeling to the layers of flowers.

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nice Gerry. I like the way you have filled the frame with them.

I give a big plus! Like the sharpness and the 3D feeling to the layers of flowers.

Completely agree, there is a real tangible depth to this that is very impressive i think!
Is this that 12-60(?) lens?

 

[Garry Lee]

Yes 12-60. Fantastic lens

Nice one, Garry

I probably would not have thought of taking that photo..."who would want a picture of dying flowers?"...but it turned out to be quite beautiful. You should take more pics of flowers!
