Description
A petunia from my garden (if you can call it that!) My "garden" this year consists of six containers next to the deck.
I finally got out with the 50mm lens a couple of days ago and got some flower pics! That's one of the main reasons I bought the lens, but we didn't run across a lot of flowers on our trip. I'm hoping to get out and do more with it, and do some fiddling with f-stop settings and whatnot. In the meantime, this is a starting point!

It's a great starting point! That's a very pretty petunia and a lovely portrait of it :)

Nothing wrong with a potted petunia! If I even had that, I would happily call it a garden, LOL!

That looks like the one with the sultry smell...well, the pic is sultry anyhow!

Watch the 2.8 setting when it doesn't cover the flower completely to get a sharper image. The background can always be adjusted with the sliders to darken the background and lighten the flower to get more contrast!

Nice macro. Perfectly exposed.

Nicely done, good clarity on the beautiful veining on the petunia; the 50 is a great and very fun lens. Don't just limit yourself to flowers, try it on everything and see what kind of results you get!

I love these little funnels in many colors. Like small gramophones! they play the melody of life! A wonderful capture with a light bokeh!

Excellent, you will find as honey says above that it has a good selection of subjects. When Dee came over last year, we went on a nifty 50 day out, nothing but one body and a 50mm lens. These are great for such things like door knobs and letter boxes etc. You may recall a wrought iron gate I shot with shadows? All that day we had fun going back to the roots of photography. And as I am sure you will know, being a prime lens, it's going to be very very sharp :)

A beauty with nice DOF & strong contrast between the bright flower & the dark, muted background...

All your flowers make me envious, so I went out and bought some for the porch. They started dieing almost immeadiatley.

There is something so very intoxicating about the perfume of Petunias and so organic, those fine lines are reminiscent of blood veins - methinks ;) fine capture Tara, BB
