Another angle on a lovely blue himalayan poppy (meconopsis) which has thrived in our scottish garden this year… it seems to like partial shade and was a real picture

What awesome colour Maggie. You really are a dab hand at these macro type shots (taken at 95mm) with that D60. Wanna teach me how?

sorry andy i havent fathomed it yet either… with my big lens i have to stand well back and zoom in.. think i need to try a different lens perhaps.. maybe we should seek enlightenment in the nikon group …LOL… do let me know if you crack it!!
cheers and thanks!! these flowers have just amazing colour which changes as the flower matures.. really should learn how to do a collage to present a selection together…
