Just to tide you over….

I thought I’d put up some of my flower isolations. Most of these are made with a 105mm VR Nikon Micro (Macro) lens. I also use the SB-R200’s on a D200 to take these shots.  One was not.

Can you guess which one was taken with a 28-70 and not the macro lens?  How about which one was shot with the macro lens but not the R200’s?

I took none of them with a tripod.  All were handheld.  I like to get all my lenses nowdays with the VR or IS.  Carrying around a tripod stinks when your photography taking time consists of where you can haul the kids around to.  Tripod + Cameras + Kids = Hard to make images.  I got to move fast to keep up with the kids.  I’m thinking about getting a monopod though.

Given that I’m not a botanist I don’t really know what each one of these flower is. If you know, please post the name as I’m trying to figure them out.  I put in what I think they are in the description.  I’m sure about the Gerber Daisy, but the rest I’m up in the air with.  If you know the scientific name that would be even better.  Any suggestions on how to determine the type flower based on a website would be good too.  I’ve tried a couple of online web sites but it really has not allowed me to figure out which flower was which.
