My pleasure John.

Just noticed the date you took this Keith. I was thinking you had a great micro climate down there! The black background works so well with the colour and shape of the flower. Such a good sharp image. I will try a few indoor shots in spring. I love the ones you take, so I'm taking notes :-))

Ha, ha.........I don't have too many recent shots Rosa due to our lovely English weather :-))

Glad you like this one though......and thank you. I read an article in Outdoor Photography magazine a while ago about staking flowers to stop them moving and using card as a background, so I thought I'd give it a go. I didn't want to cut the flower and take it indoors.

Tabletop photography is definitely worth experimenting with..........quite apart from anything else, you can have a cuppa at the same time! I'm looking forward to seeing your photos in due course.

I didn't fully understand that Keith, so thanks for explaining. What a good idea. I've just been looking through some photography mags that I've had since 2012....I'm understanding them more now :)

:-)

It must be rare to see such a stunning Crocosmia Keith. Another smasher from you Well done.

Enjoy our weekend. herb

Thanks Herb...........I've got quite a large clump of these in my garden, but they get overshadowed by the fence, so I'm going to try moving them when it's drier.

Glad you like the shot.

What a brilliant idea Keith. There must be a very similar looking plant that I have in my garden, we call it Mombretia and the flower is rampant in the garden - it's like having an orange carpet sometimes. I will try the idea of a coloured card behind some flowers to take a picture - wonderful idea that.

Thanks Jenny...........I'm pleased you like this one.

Don't forget to post some photos if you are successful.

You did well Keith. The finished result is very professional looking
Have a smashing Sunday..Diana

Glad you think so Diana. Much appreciated.

Oh, die mag meine Frau sehr gerne! :-)) Ich finde sie aber auch schön. Und das Bild auch! Kommt gut auf Schwarz!

I'm happy to get your approval Frank..........many thanks to you both.
