Album Description:
I am 'new' to macro photography, so this album is of me learning the technique. I would be so grateful for any advice or tips on how to get clear and sharp images. My husband must take all the credit for these lovely blooms in our garden....

A wonderful collection of flowers here very nice indeed....
said Redogpeters
So beautiful... :-)
said ajez123
This is another great album of yours. I enjoyed visiting here to look at your beautiful pictures. Regards Brian
said waterl00
Hello There. What a great album you have here. Love the daffies and azaleas, clamatis and bluebells. Looks like I found another flower lover. Thanks for the colorful flower show...makes me want to go out to the garden. All the Best, J.A.McGraw Hope you will drop by some time to check out some of my work too. >:)
said jamcgraw
P.P.S. Jayne, I have some new albums on bcharpen8 and bcharpen9. Hope you like them. I am hoping to someday get a macro lens (some people call them micro lenses) and be able to take gorgeous close-ups, too. Of course, I don't have a husband with such a stunning garden. Hope I have a good eye as you do! Nancy
said bcharpen
I should always look at the whole album first because I see a few that grab me, comment, and then when I go thru everything find so much more to say! I would love to know what #90 is called. I have flowers here like the royal candles (#81) but fatter than these so not sure if same flower. Have to look again. Love #60, tree peony; #54, aquilegia; #39, flower and seed clematis; the pixie hats; the red azaleas (#44); and #22 the grape hyacinth photos. Also enjoyed seeing both red and yellow ladybugs. Nancy
said bcharpen
Jayne, Thank you for your message in my Huntington Gardens album. My son will be so pleased about the chives as he wants to grow an edible garden and I want beauty also. Your photos #76-78 show me we can have both with this plant and he will be happy to hear that. Your husband has a green thumb as my grandmother used to call it! Lovely setting, beautiful and healthy plants, and great job showcasing your photos of them all. Thank you both for sharing them with us. Nancy
said bcharpen
Wow these are so so pretty. Thanks for sharing. I just love all of the beautiful flowers. If you get a chance check out my albums. Greetings from California
said Darlaree
Great photo album Jayne. And the layout is very nicely done. Those azaleas are really gorgeous. Donna/NY
said debkd
Hi Jayne, Many thanks for all the kind words you have left us in our guestbook. It really is nice to see that our pictures are bringing enjoyment to others. The fact that we have to thank yourself and other members of webshots for giving us the encourgement and benifit of there skills in teaching us ways and means of taking better pics is testiment to the great people in this community. I have been looking through your albums, loved loads of them downloaded quite a few to my screensaver, you have some terriffic pics here thank you for sharing. All the best to you and yours Keith & Babs
said flotex21
Hi Jayne. Just a quick one to thank you for your message. I got back today and have over 600 photos to go through. God knows how I'm going to decide which ones to put in my album. I have set the album up but not put any photos in it as yet. I expect quite a few of them will look very similar as I can never bring myself to pick just one picture of the same view. Oh well. I did keep an eye out for post boxes for you but only saw the usual kind. Hope you are keeping well. Very cold isn't it. We had some snow first of all up there as you will see from the pictures which pleased me no end. Didn't much like the rain and fog which came along and stayed for the second half of the week though. Consequently I didn't get to half the places I wanted to, so will be returning as soon as I can I feel. Anyway, take care now. Love Chesca #####

the backside shot of the cultivated poppy with the little cloud in the sky is a goodie. this wasen't a recent shot was it?

Jayne - These are fantastic macros - I couldn't advise you on improving them, they are perfection. I thank you for such a wonderful viewing experience. I can hardly wait for spring to come. Best wishes, Stan, California
said srapada
Me again, BTW you are now on my 'favorites' list!!! Terry
said trbcowboy
Good afternoon from Sherwood,OR. My dear, sweet friend you DO NOT need any tips on how to get sharp, clear images in 'macro'! You already are an expert right outa-the-box!!! Absolutely wonderful photographs are what I am seeing in this album. You have shown again the talent and abilities that ONLY God could have given you! Thank you so much for now being a part of my life! May Our Heavenly Father continue to bless you and yours!!! Love, Terry(trbcowboy@msn.com)
said trbcowboy
Beautiful flowers, thanks for sharing! My favorites were the Grape Hyacinths & the Tulip :)
said cinc212
Hi Jayne ... I am back again to view your delightful albums. This time 'round I have to comment on "Angel in my Heart," and "The Bluest of Blues." They are both my 'kind' of periwinkle blue and such a lovely compositions! I like the yellow and black ladybirds but #79, "Chives" is a real prize! ... I hope you are having a good weekend and oh, you asked how I put the wording around my photos. It is easy in PaintShopPro 8, 9 or X (ten), which I now have. Add a border and rotate the photo giving you an 'upright' text area. ... Time now to put my feet up. ... Love, 'n hugs, Judy
said ladybug591
Hi, You have an amazing eye for taking beautiful pictures. I love your garden, and your cats are so cute.Have downloaded this photo as well as others. Its such a pretty picture. Will add you to my favourites for sure!
said chesca44
Hi Jayne, I am slowly working my way through all the guest book entries from my August 29 feature. Thank you so much for your king comments! It is always a pleasure to have someone visit. Your macro album doesn't reveal your newness to macro photography. Your album here is done very well. I especially like the Lilac Azaleas. Gorgeous! Enjoy your day. Eti
said etiswinford
Brilliant colour extravaganza, that has to be visited a couple times at least! A gorgeous garden with lovely varieties. Love and hugs, amy :) @-;
said kester110
Hi Jayne, Thank you for your GB entry I'll move onto your second album and help you name them after I have a look here. I think I like you alliums best the raindrops add to them. I am fairly new to Macro photgraphy too ever since I got a new camera in March. I think the best thing about my new camera is its amazing macro mode allowing me to get as close as 1cm but like Keith below says keeping absolutely still is the key. You can get mini tripods or even bean bags to sit your camera on which help or do what I do and take loads of images and pick the best. I don't know what camera you have but if you are able to alter your aperture settings thats can add to close up shots too. I still have lots to learn, but my album East Blean woods in summertime has some recent pictures I have taken when I really had luck with the butterflies and insects and they were all hand held and I am really pleased with. Take care now Jill
said jillbatchelor
Hello Jayne, it looks to me like you've got the hang of macros pretty well sewn up. Experience has taught me that a tripod is an invaluable pre-requisite, that or a rock steady hand. I'm still learning, but I've managed a few shots of which I'm proud. Take a look at the raindrops in my Winter in My Yard album. I had the camera on the ground to take these; without a solid base, they would never have happened. Many thanks for your entry in my Fun at The Fair guestbook, it was appreciated. Greetings from Sydney, Keith.
said magikeith
stunning and marvelous tones. superb.
said agustinguti03
My My but your technique is pretty good if you ask me, I am still practicing. Love the peony, tulips, and poppy macros best. Well, no I really like all of them! Anyway, take care and sending warm smiles to ya, amy
said kester110
Hello dear Jayne. Had to stop in to see your new additions. In my opinion, photo #87 is an award winner! Just beautiful, Jayne!!! I think you have become a professional!!! Lots of love 'n' hugs! Donna
said deestea
Are those passion flowers? Just a lovely album, great photography, beautiful subjects. Love ya Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Awh yes...the poppy additions to your Englishman's Garden are lovely. So colorful and bright. Great addition to your garden. How was the Zoo...haven't looked yet to see if you added a new Zoo album with a million screaming kid's thrown in for flavor. Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Hi Jayne, I love the new additions of the chives. Tasty and beautiful! I have some in my herb pot, but they haven't bloomed yet. Of course, I keep cutting bits here and there to top bake potatoes...LOL. I love your ladybug photos too. Your hubby sure does a wonderful job in your garden. I bet he enjoys your photos of all his hard work. Take care my dear friend. Love 'n' hugs. Donna
said deestea
Hi Jayne! This is such a wonderful album! Thank you so much for sharing. Blessing and greetings from Nina
said sashas657
Hi Jayne, new to machro are you, well it hasn't taken you long to produce some good pictures. Don't want to teach you to ##### eggs but, I find a small tripod very helpful , it obviously does away with camera shake. unless the wind is blowing of course. Great pic's keep em coming, no School for a week or so. Ken
said hircock100
Hi Jayne, I love your new additions. The campanula is a fabulous photo. I love the allium too. Great job!!! Lots of love 'n' hugs. Donna

Hi Jayne just checked out your updates. Beautiful as ever. Wish I could take pics like that. Thanks from the family they all enjoyed it All the best Chris Charlie and Jay
said chrismary105
Hi Jayne, this album is wonderful. The flowrs are beautiful and the macro shots are excellent. Thanks for sharing this album with all of us. I invite you to visit my flowers and insects albums and see some macro work. Yair
said ykarelic2
Hi dear Jayne! This is such a beautiful, beautiful album and it seems that you understood quite quickly how to take macros!!:-))!!Good - for all of us, I see the next feature coming....! I tried to find one favorite, but this is not possible for me. I looked through this album now in full screen pictures and I found so many as my favorite...."Goo d Morning Sunshine", what a sweet picture is the "Yellow Azalea with the ladybug", the "Pink Azaleas with droplets of rain", and Nr. 53 the Aquilegia (what a beauty!!). I found the "Pink Rododendrons" wonderful, the "Tree Peony", and the "Yellow Azalea in bud" - wonderful!! Fantastic is the "Allium with droplets"!!! And the"Campanula& quot;....and and and...!! Thanks to you and your husband for this album, it brings a lot of joy to me! You have a fantastic garden!Yes!! Love and hugs and God bless you both - Trixi :-))
said trixiko
Jayne...the purple flower is fantastic. You're really getting good with that Macro setting. Hope Oz is enjoying pruning, hoeing and plucking in his garden. Have a great afternoon. L

said chrismary105
HI Jayne I love the new additions.Really pretty.We have loads of rhodys overe here too.In fact I have several in my own yard.Haven't you always wondered why they don't smell good because they are so beautiful? (ha) Keep up the good work.Your macro photos are fantastic. Hugs...Kathryn
said photorose
Your Temple Bells and Double Daffy's are amazing. Love the macro work you've done. Great job Jayne. Much love and best wishes. Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Breathtaking photos Jayne....and your hubbie grows a magnificent floral orchestra. WOW!! You sure made it difficult for me to choose here...but I did love the Breathtaking Blue...and that Yellow Azalea> I know you said it is out of focus, except for the water droplet....but I LOVE it..It has this just soo artistic and delicate beauty that I have to pic it as a fav. It has definitely it's own startling and unique beauty. I love the Bluebell photo..but I also love the Azalea..I leave that up to you...LOL...Wonderful album and the Englishman...excelled with his garden. Great work...Take care....hugs and luv...Em
said emphotos103
Jayne, my own *favorite* would have to be your ladybug on the azaleas, but I can't find it! <pout> Hugs, Judy
said ladybug591
The "Bluest of Bluebells" gets my vote also; it is so sharp and what beautiful flowers they are! Thanx for sharing. Judy
said ladybug591
Hi Jayne, It looks to me like you have mastered the macro. Photo 35 is beautiful. All of your new additions are fantastic. How are you my dear friend? I just got back yesterday from my dad's. He made it through his procedure fine. The surgeon said that he does have blockage in all of his arteries to his heart, but it's only at about 40% and he said that that wasn't enough to put in stents. My sister and I stayed with him because they do go up through the groin and when they come back out they put in a collagen plug and he had to be very careful that the plug didn't pop out....no lifting or bending..etc. We had a good time staying with him and spoiling him for a few days. I took a few photos while I was there and will be putting them up on webshots some time today. I looked through webshots last evening for just a brief time and it looks like I have a lot to catch up on. I guess I better get started...lol. Take care and God bless. Love 'n' Hugs. Donna
said deestea
Glorious job on capturing those Bluebells. Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Hello Jayne, thanks for your very kind comments about Choc Box. Looking at this beautiful album can't but make me think of spring again even though with the weather changing we a re staring Summer in the face. I took all of those photo's last Friday It was a really beautiful walk on a beautiful day I took about 150 they all could have gone into the album. Bye for now Ken
said hircock100
Forgot to mention #14 simply love these drooping flowers. Wondering if it is an evergreen bush, and how tall does it get, do you know? May have a place for that one in my gardens if it doesn't get to big. xx
said hereslaura
Jayne your micro flower photo's are beautiful. Once again the presentation and the clear crisp quality of your work shines. My friend you are one amazing photographer. Hugs from Laura
said hereslaura
I must say Oz and his Lady Jayne make a great team....his gardening and your photography. Beautiful album. Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Oh Jayne I do so love this album.Those bluebells just jump out of the screen at you the color is so vivid. I have some too but they aren't nearly as pretty as yours are... maybe it's because they are English Bluebells & they are blooming so very far away from their true home! Hugs...Kathryn
said photorose
Hi Jayne, I wanted to let you know that my dad is having a heart procedure done tomorrow and I will be staying with him for a few days. I will be computerless for a few days, so I won't be able to visit your new albums and photos for a while. Keep clicking and I will check in when I get back home. Take care. God Bless. Love 'n' Hugs. Donna
said deestea
Hi Jayne - Love the lady bug! (Do you really call them lady birds?) Great macro work. Hugs from California, Beth
said bvillanyi
Hi Jayne, I think you are doing a great job with your macro photography. I especially loved "Good Morning Sunshine"! It was great. I don't know about your camera but mine has a special setting for macro shots and I have an automatic focus so it takes all the guesswork out of it. But, before I got my new camera I always used a low f-stop (usually 2) to do macro shots. It always worked well. We have all summer to work on macro shots of flowers so have a great time! Connie from Ohio.

Hi Jayne ... Thank you so much for your dedicated Ladybird in this album; how wonderfully sweet you are. Unbeknownst to you, I've been in touch with a cousin of our son-in-law who lives in Barford, Warwickshire, which isn't far from where you are. We hope to get over the 'big pond' to see Gillingham and Shaftesbury in Dorset where my g-g-g-grandfather hailed from and also to Auchtermuchty, Scotland where my g-g-g-grandmother grew up. Our world has become so small. Keep 'shooting' your wonderful photos and sharing them with all of us. Hugs, Judy
said ladybug591
Hi Jayne! Thankyou so much for the wonderful message you put in my guestbook, it really made me happy and a big smile came on my face. Thankyou. These photos of yours are so beautiful, I really have enjoyed looking round your albums. Best wishes, and thankyou again. Ray (UK)

Greetings Jayne! Just HAD to come and see what you've been up to and SO glad I did. This amazing album is so peaceful and enlightening. My Fav's:-->2nd Azalea,A Joy to Behold,Simplicity,the Pansy!!,Blushing Buds,Golden Yellow Ruffles, this one I viewed Full Screen then maximized it--WoW Incredible. The Lilac Azalea beautiful also.All downloaded perfectly.Thank You! My little Buddy Cockatiel is fine, but he/she has been doing something 'strange' lately that I cannot write here..do you have an email address? I'd enjoy seeing a photo of a wild Cockatiel, never seen one and wondering their actual colours. All mine have been hand raised babies. Have a wonderful week end. Barb/Chicago PS: All winter I kept a heating pad on top of Buddy's little house. :>
said chara11
Hi Jayne, I love your new additions. Do the camelia's have a wonderful scent? I think you are doing a wonderful job using your macro setting. It's so exciting when you load them on the computer and they look great! We are expecting another storm here in about 20 minutes, in fact, I can hear the thunder now, so I better get off of here. Take care. Love 'n' Hugs. Donna
said deestea
Jayne...I love A Joy To Behold. Beautifully done. L
said greenhorngrl
Hello Jayne, you have done a wonderful job with these macros! My favorite photos are: #5,(If i were you I would use this as the first photo because it is so stunning) #14, 4, and 23. They are really excellent! I wanted to thank you for your kind words regarding my Tasty Textures album. I appreciate it very much. Candi
said candistackable
Jayne I love this tulips.I mean...they really resemble some I have right outside in my own yard.Shows we both have good taste huh? Hugs...Kathryn
said photorose
Hi dear Jayne, This album is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! I love those temple bells!!! This is going to be a wonderful year for flowers. It seemed like we had to wait forever...didn't it? At last they are popping out all over. Did you see Lynn's (lynncb7) photos of the wildflowers in the desert this year? WOW! I guess it's from all the rain they had over the winter. It's rare and beautiful. Well..I guess I better go get some laundry and house cleaning done. Thanks for a wonderful morning with my cup of coffee and your beautiful photos. Keep clicking!!! Love 'n' Hugs. Donna

Hi, dear Jayne and WOOUUWW!! What a beautiful album. It is such a joy looking at this macro fowers to see how beautiful they are made! I try myself to get any practice in macros. I have no teleobjectiv, just my little camera. But yours are looking wonderful. I love all pictures! Lots of love and hugs - Trixi
said trixiko
Wow Jayne - those lilac azaleas are amazing! And the photos are clear and well saturated. Great job! By the way, will you be around at all between the 4th and 20th of August? Those are our finalized travel dates. Love and hugs, Beth
said bvillanyi
Hi Jayne. I do like your macro shots. Beautiful flowers and colours. You seem to have the hang of this technique but keep practising because you know what they say, 'practise makes perfect'. By the way, compliments to the gardener, lol!! Guess who? xx
said wonderfulwizardofo...
Oh Jayne This is the start of a great spring album.It's funny but I have nearly all of these in my own garden here.Don't you just love them? Do you wander around everyday looking & smelling? I bet you do because I do the very same thing. It's neat how the flowers change a bit every single day.The azalea is beautiful. Well.you are geting good at macro.It's not too easy either. Love It....hugs....Kathryn

Even tho Yellow is my favorite color, I love all the Blues...and the Temple Bells are gorgeous. Beautiful garden and great photo's. Love ya L
said greenhorngrl
Hi Jayne, you have been very busy - while I was even too lazy to answer your nice comments in my 'Holiday' album! :-) Your Macros are very beautiful. I like the daffodils!!! :-) It looks as if you already know it all. I can use for Macros Auto focus or Manual focus. Most I use the manual focus. When I go closer than 2 cm I am focusing once and then change only the distance of the camera to the object. I find that easier. Yes, I still take Macros with a tripod. You have to try it out. When there is very much light it is not possible to see well at the LCD. THEN I use the Auto focus! Go on! You are doing fine! I think the most important thing is to SEE, not how to do it. You see everything!! Lol - Galit

Hi Jayne, this is a wonderful macro flowers album. Your Skimmia is beautiful and so is the Bride's bouquet and the Pansy. I have an album Flowers close-up have you seen that already?? If you have time have a peek. Thanks for your kind words, greetings.....Juana
said juburg
Hello Jayne! Thanks for your nice words in my garden album - we have had nothing but rain for a few weeks and finally a few hours of sunshine this weekend so I made the most of it before all the spring flowers are gone. You're doing great work with your macros. The blue pansy is perfect! Have a great week. Hugs, Beth
said bvillanyi
Hi Jayne, My sick body is back from vacation and now I can look at your photos again. Your Macro's are beautiful! As no expert in Macros, I have learned that experimenting is the best way to improve and I still have to delete alot of them. I found that finding the correct distance is the problem for me. I have 2 macro settings, and have to look at both before taking the photo. Anyway, your flowers are beautiful, and I love this album. We won't have flowers until June. Love Sharon
said sharwils1
B-U-Ti-FUL You really have a green thumb and great eye for photography. I can alost smell the Forsythia. Love from the frozen Cowboy State of Wyoming...Lorrie
said greenhorngrl
Hi Jayne, beautiful pictures, but I can't believe your azaleas are blooming already and at the same time as the Forsythia? Wow! How I miss spring! Reading tirza_h's entry leads me to believe that you're venturing into macro photography for the first time. Is this right? It can be very frustrating and very hard on the back, but it can also be extremely rewarding. Your flowers show that you're already enjoying some of the rewards. Great shot! and thanks for you recent kind words, Paul in Florida.

Dear Jayne, I think I got in the album in the middle of the creation. The pictures a very beautiful. I can't advice you on macros, as I'm just learning it myself. Enjoy the process, I'm sure there are more to come in this album. Lots of hugs Tirza
