Midsummer garden





















My wife's hobby is gardening, mine is photography, this post is a marriage of our hobbies. Normally I would shoot this kind of subject using a tripod, mirror lock up, manual focus and a cable release. However, I could not get my tripod into positions that would allow me the composition and framing I would like without trampling her flower beds, so I used my 35mm macro lens and hand held the camera for all but one of these shots.

I am really beginning to use this lens consistently for this kind of work, and I really like the perspective and rendition it provides.
