Delicate

I was hoping to get a clearer shot of some apple blossoms, but I'm battling pneumonia and I haven't been outside much lately. I went out yesterday after the storm blew through and found that the wind and rain took most of the petals down. So here's the best of the lot from the last time I tried shooting apple blossoms -- the buds were just beginning to open then.

Blooms

I'm trying to decide which lens to take for a walk at the daffodil trail -- these are in my yard.
All shot with ISO 100 and sunny day setting.

First is the kit lens - 18-55mm. I think it's a pretty decent lens!


Next is a 60mm S lens -- but I need a tripod to use it. I like the glow in this one. Partly sun on the flower and partly just the color of the flower itself.


Then there's the new 70-200mm L lens -- I'm struggling with this lens. I have trouble focusing on what I want to focus. The depth of field hasn't given me much room and my eyes aren't very good. Anyway, it's pretty heavy for a stroll in the park. But it's anice lens and I think I'll keep it!


And finally, my old favorite walk-around 28-135mm lens. I think it's still my favorite for pick-up and go on a nice day.
