Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
These pictures are from late March and early April 2019, and I will update this post as the bloom continues during the rest of April and into May. The pictures are presented in the reverse order of being shot.
Many of the pictures are from my yard and neighbors yards, but some are from hikes in various places in north Georgia.
Most of the shots are done with the 85 mm macro lens, but a few are done with other lenses. Which depends on what lenses I choose to carry on each hike. The yard shots are almost all with my heavy tripod, and I never hike with that. I rarely carry any tripod when hiking. I also rarely use any filter for flower shots. I try to shoot when and where filters are not necessary.
