Welcome.

I suspect that your first image is of an arum lily flower.

thanks Harold.. did a little more digging and it seems it's generally called a Skunk Cabbage around here.

Here's a shot of the baby succulent.

I'm not sure if I should have cleaned him off. On one side, it would make for a cleaner photo, but on the other side, with the specs on him it feels like it adds a touch of story to it, bursting out of the ground.

That's in the Arum family. Our native wild Arum is plentiful in the wilder areas of our garden . It has (or would have) crowded red fruits which are poisonous. No worries, the deer eat the flowers before they seed seed.

I had quite an active garden this weekend. Now I am thinking of either (1) buying an outfit that will not scare insects or (2) find a 1:1 macro with 180+ mm focal length.

Lots happened next!
I tend to jump around genres as the whim takes me.
As they say - Jack of all trades, master of none.

I do have more macros, lots - just need to locate ones I deem worthy of displaying.

How about some flowers from my garden. All with the 55/2.8 micro.

I'm npt keen on the second one but the others are excellent.

You should be posting them as topics on the main board, not in the new macro shooters' thread.

My bad - sorry Harold! I should have realised from the heading.
I am so used to contributing to the Nikon MF lens forum - it runs in a totally serial fashion.
Over to the main board then........

We are practically local given the global contributors to FM.

It wasn't a criticism. Some very good macro shooters seem shy of posting on the main board.

As for location, you may see some Hampshire mushrooms or Slime Mould images posted here.

If you wanted a soft effect you have succeeded. I am not a fan of wide aperture images of flowers but that is just my view.

Hi, I have never done macro photography, so I bought a lens to try. I hope I am on the right track.

Try some smaller apertures, say, f8 or f11.
