Plum Blossom Macro
More plum blossom macros from a few weeks ago, these are mostly shot at about 5X magnification.
I showed some other shots from our ornamental plum last week in Plum Blossom and last year posted high magnification of a petal from this same tree.

Bring on some blossoms! How’s it going out there, is it spring-like?
These are so delicate.

Hi Karen – Very spring like here – mixed weather, windy, rainy, sunny, warm, cold and blossoms everywhere. Great light a lot of the time, birds gathering nesting materials, teenagers cavorting. Etc.

These are all striking photos with the white petal background and the various colors. I love the third one down, the high key one. Beautiful.

Thanks Ken. That actually is my favourite but I wondered if it might be a bit too high key and soft focus so ended up leading with something a bit more ‘there’ if you know what i mean.

I should also say that I shot brackets as I have found that HDR can really help make these macro shots a bit sharper. But it did not work for these images for a number of reasons, especially compared to using these exposures. Most of them are the -2 EV shots with some adjustments.
