Yes it was the large but flat terrain that we loved more than the house really… having lived on side of hills in two other Properties from 1968 - 2014…
Just been messing about (yes yet again) with this new Panasonic G9 camera.
this time in fairly windy conditions My Nikon cameras could not do.
So using a very high shutter speed, actually unbeliveably high on some roses
exif data
Aperture F8
shutter speed1/32000sec
focal length12mm
ISO 1600
brightness adjusted in Adobe Element
if one doesn’t try different things then what is the point of having a camera? obviously this is just a test photo

Nice photo yu did well. If Ii may suggest a couple of things which you already know i suspect but others may not
lighting from underneath can prove interesting
or something like this
or from the side at night
or adding that something extra to a flower head
or an undeneath shot
just adding that little something yo make it interesting
When I am asked about making this kind of flower photo I ask what they see. Most may mention the type of flower and its colour and thats it. This is because they only see and not look
For me it is where the flower is- how the light affects it- can i add anything such as a drops of water to he petals- how high it is- which is the best angle to get a shot- let alone the above

Also from rgge garden.
focus is always a problem with flowers, either they are blowing in the wind or one part is not as sharp as the rest.
i have heard of some photographers putting a small clamp on the stem to keep them still. look up plamp.
I do like flowers but I try some other images. Like a 2 cm spider:
Spider again…I tried.
