I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers a few weeks ago, and I believe this flower is a Gerbera or African Daisy from the Sunflower family. I decided to try my 50 mm lens and practice using large apertures, such as f1.2. I like how the lens lets you take photos in low light. These were taken right in the vase on my dining room table, but since they are close up with a small depth of field, it really doesn't matter where you take the photos. The background is nicely blurred in most of the photos I took. I was able to use the sunlight coming through the window for the light.
I just purchased an update for my photo program and now have Photoshop Elements 12, so thought I would try some different effects with the pictures. I think the photo below shows how much you can change a photo that you take. Digital gives endless opportunities.
Beautiful flowers created by a wonderful God!
