Sony A7 giving nice dynamic range and tolerable noise @ ISO 1600, but it don't make makro shooting easy @ 1:1. This is definitely something I suck and need to train more.

Samuli, you definitely don't suck and I think with practice you will likely be exceptional at flowers. One of the very important skills in flower shots, IMO, is selecting an artistic background with an good bokeh and you excel at that skill in your forest photography so as your bring that to flower photography I know your results will be spectacular. Do you shoot from a tripod? I highly recommend it for flower shots. Then you can easily avoid ISO 1600.

Samuli,
They look great to me...half the fun of flower shooting like Steve said is to find interesting backgrounds for the blooms.

Thanks Steve and Mike. Have to wait few weeks before spring really starts, more or less everything in ground is still last year dead stuff (=yellowish brownish boring ugly). Hmmm, maybe green paper would do the trick
Steve, I shoot from tripod but 1:1 was too annoying to frame from tripod - and also wanted to try A7 viewfinder in handhold situations closed down (how easy it's to see 1:1 f/5.6 where I'm focusing). On ground shots with less magnification I have really enjoyed shooting camera upside down hanging from tripod, which works really well due to LCD tilting and light weight:
(apologies for terrible quality, took this with cell phone...)
Mike, nice balance of colors in "back in the arboretum"-post. Also liked colors in 2nd photo from "A few flowers from the Hirem Chittenden Locks Gardens in Seattle. Canon 5d2 and Zeiss 50."-set.
Ronny, great work and consistent style between different sets (part due to how you process colors).
