Peach "buds" and Happy Peas



Finally signs of spring!
Spring and summer and out comes the Macro Lens.  I love the close up world.  It's all new to see.  

Blue sky's and Pink Peach blossom's.  Color, color and more color.

Here is the thrill.  A macro shot of a happy pea plant.  If you look close you can see the smile.  I have been talking to these plants for a couple of weeks.  Down on my knees getting close.  The 105 macro is a very sharp lens.  The 200 lets you move back from the subject further.  But I think the 105 is sharper.  No science to back it up just experience.   Careful attention has to be paid to the depth of field.  The photo above is shot at f/22.  The focal plane is right on in this photo.  I would have liked it a bit more with one or one and half stop less.    
Do you have pea plants that are astute enough to do the hide and seek?  My plants are the best.  My communication, love talk and gentle affection surely should produce incredible fruit.

I hope you talk softly and/or are a good ventriloquist, or else the neighbors (or your kids...) will think you're crazy!!! :)
