Iris Pix

15 years ago

I just wanted to share some pix from last month of a couple of irises that I got from the Swaps. I am 95% sure that the peach one came from Dan. I'm not sure about the purple, maybe Bonnie or Lynn?

Thanks so much for sharing these beauties with me.

Beautiful pictures! If you don't mind my asking, what kind of camera did you use to take them? We have a hard time getting such beautiful digital close-ups.
Thanks!

HP Photosmart R707. It is about 5 years old. I use the macro setting. It also helps to take the pix more towards twilight. The contrast of the low light and the flash seems to work better. I get a lot of pix that are out of focus, but when I get it to work right, it really works well. The key though is a preset macro function that sets the camera up for close-in pix. I go to cnet.com and check their reviews. That is how I picked this camera in the first place. If you aren't an expert (memememe) it is good to have a camera with preset options for capturing motion, bright sun, night, action, etc.

Sorry for rambling. Hope that helps. I'm glad you enjoyed the pix.

Jen, I think the purple was from me..it looks familiar. =) You might end up with a raspberry-colored (sport?) blossom at some point, I had several last year. The plant gets very tall but is strong and hasn't fallen over (so far)...enjoy!

The peach is beeeyouteeful!

avoirgold, those pictures are stunning! I was having trouble with my flora close-ups too but then I, also, discovered the macro or super-close-up setting on my digital camera. It's nothing fancy, it's a 7.2 megapixel Olympus, but I get some stunning close-ups with it.
