Arrow Botanical Gardens - Ann Arbor

Finally got to go out and shoot with my new 5D Mark II yesterday for the first time. I love having so much resolution to work, it's great when I can crop 1/2 the image out and still have as much left as my Rebel XTi. It's going to take a awhile getting used to this. I can really see the clarity of my 24-70 F2.8L on this body compared to my Rebel XTi.

I decided to stop by the botanical garden since I haven't been this year when they had flowers. Most of the flowers where in pretty bad shape or not blooming. Only a few flowers where pretty flawless. I was unable to check the indoor area since it was closed. Next time I go here it will be for the indoor area, since the outdoor area isn't that fantastic.

All lovely, but the second and fourth get my votes. These places are beautiful aren't they?

I am sooooo Envious! that's my next camera and I'm just chomping at the bits to buy it. But I'll have to wait a while longer as I'm still paying off my Canon 500mm f/4 L lens.
These are so Crisp and clear the colors are amazing! Well done!
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael
