Fangipani is here!!

I am actually studying and learning about my camera, the lenses, settings etc and it is a lot. It seemed so simple before, but I could not get things to happen as I wanted. Anyway, thanks to an online friend out in Utah, I have a good tripod and so I am able to really practice. Macro and photography in general requires patience!!!! Wow, it is actually more than just pushing down the button. The f/stop here was about 6.5 so just the flowers in the foreground are in focus. The light was early morning and so I eliminated the hot spots that come with strong sun.
