Macro on Flowers..
Macro photography is one of my favorite subjects, usually i am using my Nikon 105mm macro lens; with this lens it’s prefer to use a tripod for better focus, in some time i fond that Nikon 35mm lens with f/1.8 and after cropping the image you may get a good result.Here is a photo of a flower back to my last journey to London in 2010, (the water mark on the photo showing 2008 because i forgot to change it), I hope you like it..
