Well its been a little wet recently, but when the skies cleared and the sun showed I went out to practise at flowers, macro mode, flash and manual white balance setting. Thought I was doing well, till I came back and re-read the white balance stuff - turns out that you use a blank white sheet to set it rather than (as I had been doing) taking a shot of the subject, setting the WB on that shot and then using that data for a second shot.
Thankfully I shoot in RAW - the only thing I did notice is that my histograms looked very strange and levels did not like working with them
But aside from that small upset what do people think of the results - where can I do better?
Taken with:
Canon 400D
Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG macro - set to macro mode
Tripod
Timer and mirror lock-up mode

note that the background for this was a pink wall. I also would have liked to have used a smaller apature to bring that upper section more into focus
Thanks
