The lotus are also flowering at Booroowhangary Rainforest Gardens, Taree NSW Oz. Aren’t they gorgeous? Sony DSC-F717 hand held.
The aim is for all images to be very close to the flower, we want to see the seed pods, the small fur on the stems etc
This group is to enable people who have a passion for both flowers and macro photograpy “very close up” to show their best and favorite images.
Go view forums particually
for information on image requirements
The attention to detail, clarity, compersition, lighting and colour is important. The aim is to show how detailed flowers can be and to show the small details not seen with the naked eye. The beauty of each flower will be magnified and enhanced through your lens.
WE FEATURE IMAGES TWICE EACH WEEK ON WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.

This group is for everyone who shares this passion and also for those who find the images appealing.
