Default Something different .....................

Well yesterday was another good day to visit the gardens but this time I only took my 50mm f1.8 lense with me. This meant I had to get in close to flowers and see what I could produce. Normally I take all my lenses with me but with only having one lense kept me more focused on getting close to subjects.

I then decided to collage some of them on templates that I have - you can view the actual fotos taken at Wellington Botanical Gardens - a set on Flickr

I love the second one best too - I think it is the black border that really enhances the colours, beautifully presented

Thanks Michael - I have templates that I use in Photoshop - some from the UK Digital Photo magazine and some I have created myself. You may find some on their website Digital Photography, Digital Cameras & Photographers | Photo Answers Cheers, Bernz

Bernz, You've done a great job with these collages. You've balanced each frame very nicely. I especially like the way the flower is held by the leaves and petals in number 2. Nicely done!
