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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the pictures are from my yard and neighbors yards, but some are from hikes in various places in north Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
