Project 52 – Week #3
I wish I know the name of my week #3 photo but unfortunately my father-in-law cannot remember the name. Flowers – that is my subject for this week. Today after a short rain, I went out in our backyard and start clicking the shutter button on every flowers that my father-in-law have planted. I never thought that there are lots of subjects which can be found in our backyard. So I do recommend to all of you to explore yours and you might find a catchy photo.
Here are the other photos that I have taken earlier:
(Shot taken with Cokin +3 Close-up Filter screwed on Tamron 70-300mm Di LD 1:2 MACRO)
Birds of Paradise (these flowers looks like a parrot, especially if they are very long)
Not flowers but still can be found in our backyard: Kamias and Calamansi.
Kamias (a Philippine Fruit)
A very young Calamansi (Philippine Lemon)
All shots were taken using my Nikon D80, with Tamron 70-300mm Di LD 1:2 MACRO, Aperture Priority, Lens Macro switched on, No Flash. Post processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3 — mostly reducing noise, sharpening, and playing around with color saturation.

I really had fun taking these shots. Until next time, and do not forget to explore your backyard!
Wow.
Just gorgeous.
My pics are not nearly as lovely. I use a Sony Cyber-shot I bought a couple of years ago.
You are doing the sort of work I wish I could do. Someday I hope to have better gear!
