@jgpittenger Jane, I only have a compact digital, point and shoot, Panasonic Lumix... I was using the macro setting. I am in the market for a DSLR, but not sure exactly what I need. Thanks for your comments!
@karenann@kerristephens@maggiemae@peterdegraaff@myautofocuslife@pixiefsu50@bardejov@kbuehl@tobi You all are so kind! Any pointers to improve are welcome! Feeling overwhelmed and blue yesterday, totally uninspired, I picked up my camera and walked outside after dinner with low expectations. I was surprised to find a number of things to photograph, like this poppy - bud, bloom and seed pod. My spirits were lifted a little by the time it got dark... thanks for taking a look!
