Taking close ups with a camera is not as easy as I thought. I figured putting on the little “flower” icon for close ups would make pictures absolutely awesome! Nah…not so much. I found out you have to be really, really still to take close ups or else your picture gets blurry. I pulled back, but didn’t get the close ups I wanted.

I found it really strange how the color of the roses changed when the flash went off and when it didn’t. The red is lighter when the flash went off. I really like the deeper red myself. Here’s some of my attempts, using the beautiful roses my husband gave me for our 28th Anniversary last weekend.
