Daisy Riot<\/p><\/div>\n

From the serenity of the\u00a0Azalea garden to the riot of the massed\u00a0Daises.\u00a0\u00a0This low angle shot emphasizes the riot.<\/p>\n

To take it I actually submerged the camera in the patch (gently gently so as not to\u00a0bruise a stem) and used the flip out LCD for composition. This is right a the edge of the\u00a0acceptable\u00a0depth of field, with\u00a0foreground\u00a0flowers going just a bit soft, but the eye is pulled up to the dancing flower in the center and the image works overall. I think.<\/p>\n

Given another chance at it I would have used program shift for a smaller aperture, but since the H50 only goes to F8, at this distance, it probably would not have helped much.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at full wide and macro. F5.0 @ 1\/1000th @ ISO 100. Programed auto.<\/p>\n

Cropped from left and right in Lightroom for composition. Punch and Sharpen presets.<\/p>\n

A higher angle view…but in my opinion, it lacks the\u00a0energy\u00a0of the low angle.<\/p>\n
