As it happens I’ve still got my neighbours fabulous Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens and have taken some more shots of plants and flowers with my children.

We took this walking to school one morning – I’m just sorry we didn’t quite get as much depth of field as I’d originally hoped nor the focus/sharpness in the area I wanted:

We went for a bit of a walk around our neighbourhood on a recent Sunday morning and we all took cameras and took some photos along the way.

“New Life”

Nikon D90 + Nikon 105mm macro, 1/60 sec at f/8, ISO 640

“Blossoming”

Nikon D90 + Nikon 105mm macro, 1/1000 sec at f/4, ISO 200

“Docking Port Left”

Nikon D90 + Nikon 105mm macro, 1/1600 sec at f/4, ISO 200

“Vibrant”

Nikon D90 + Nikon 105mm macro, 1/1000 sec at f/6.3, ISO 200

For the following I was specifically looking at the time for a simple background of silvery grey or green that I could simply desaturate and essentially monochrome the background whilst leaving the flowers coloured (in this case yellow).

“Yellow”

Nikon D90 + Nikon 105mm macro, 1/800 sec at f/5, ISO 200

My second attempt at a dandelion style pod – this time with better focus and more depth of field.

“Dandy”
