A Few Flowers

A few flower images shot the other day while I was headed to see the steam engine.  In a continued effort to get to know some of the more entry level cameras that I have available to shoot, these were shot with a Rebel series camera and kit lens.  The more I shoot with this camera, the more I am impressed by the results that it is capable of producing.  Good stuff!

Black and White Flowers

There's just something about black and white flowers that I just can't get enough of.  While working on a recent batch of images of flowers, I converted a couple to black and white, and then a couple more, and then a couple more.  I just couldn't help myself.  Cool thing is that most of these worked really well in color as well.  You'll see them in a future post.  For now, let me know what you think about these.

Side note - I have the opportunity to shoot with some really amazing cameras.  While I'm usually quick to grab the 5D Mk III or the 1Dx, I've been shooting with some of the lower end cameras lately, just to get a good feel for their capabilities.  This series was all shot with the Rebel T5i and the EF-S 18-135mm lens, a combination that costs less than a third of what the 5D Mk III costs without a lens.  I must say, that I am really happy with the results that I am seeing with this gear.  I'm looking forward to using it more.
