>>4218457Thanks, This is really helpful.
I picked up a camera in late winter/early spring as an excuse to get out of the house more. Been playing around with it off and on since.
I had a big box store DSLR I used for astrophotography time lapses about 12 years ago, but it has been collecting dust since then..
Thanks again for your advice and opinions.
I have a tripod I should try out on these flowers.
I also have plans to get a new lens for my old rebel DSLR. The kit lens that came with it has a dead autofocus and is full of sand. Being able to manually focus would be nice for these flowers.
