Vivid Flowers

Dennis

The recent Weekly Photo Challenge theme is “Vivid”. We have a small flowerbed near the pond in our garden, the flowers are very tiny and I think they really look vivid. The flower bed is not very big but depending on the angle you take photos, it looks like an ocean of flowers, that’s at least what I tried to achieve. I shot two photos and couldn’t decide which one is better, I decided to upload them both to this post. However, I wish I would have had another lens for the shots. Continue reading Vivid Flowers

Most daisies I saw in the past were pretty tiny, it seems this is a big one that is not so common here, I did at least … Continue reading Just A New Flower Photo

I Got The Manfrotto 055XPRO3

Dennis

I mentioned it some days ago, I asked a local store to order me the Manfrotto 055XPRO3 tripod. Today I got the email that the order arrived and I picked the tripod up. Arrived at home I couldn’t await to unbox the tripod and Shyna was very curious too, as always if I unbox something new. The tripod was a little bit tricky to understand due to all the features, but after a while I got how this and that works. My first impression is that this thing is pretty steadfast. It was a little bit of a pain to … Continue reading I Got The Manfrotto 055XPRO3
