We'd just had a rain shower, and my daughter wanted to play outside. While she did, I rattled off these shots.

Please be gentle with me: I'm no nature photographer!

These ones I'm happier with...

Wow, you had have some pretty nice weather up there recently. I've been so amazed at how green everything gets in the spring that i've also been tempted to take some shots. But i too am no pro!

The pink flowers are much better 👍 The depth of field really makes the shots interesting.

What equipment are you using?

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Thanks.

It's a Canon EOS 350d with an 18-55mm lens. You have to take the pictures at the short end of the zoom to get down to the f/3.5 aperture.

The depth of field really makes the shots interesting.

Yes, indeed.
Especially in the first picture of the first set and on the second picture of the second set, which are my personal favourites.
Good work, Giles. 👍
