Back to Work

Today was my first day back to work at the flower shop since the Christmas rush. I decided to take my camera and get a few shots over my lunch break. I must say that the lighting in the shop is terrible, and it is very hard to find a blank wall for a good backdrop. I am not sure the grayish wall does this vase justice, but it was it was the best spot I could find.




A dish I found in the office:


I decided to try a few macros. Nothing great cause it is so dark in there. I had my ISO up to 400, and my fstop was at 3.5 and SS around 60, so I had to work with using selective focus in these.

The first two are a Stargazer lily:




A protea plant:

I didn't know you worked at a flower shop. Cool. No wonder you have so many flowers around to take photos of.
