I've been in a bit of a funk lately. I haven't really used my camera in a while, heck I even went places to take photos and didn't even take my camera out of the bag or removed the lens cap. I don't know, I just didn't see anything that really sparked my interest. It kind of made me feel...

A simple shot today to share. I took a quick evening walk and noticed this one and only lonely buttercup just sitting there in the light asking me to take a picture of it, so I did. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4 Macro f/2.8, 1/1000th, ISO 320 Cheer Up, Buttercup by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I searched for a while trying to find the perfect one. There are thousands of these wild violet flowers all over my lawn. I managed to find this one that was almost all alone and had a clean background. It's kind of simple and clean shot which is what I was going for. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4...

Another macro flower from my portfolio. This subject and a couple of others were just sitting outside the Rye Patch on the front steps as I wandered past one warm Spring afternoon a few years back. I really couldn't resist such an attractive flower. Techs: Canon 5D F/22 1.3 seconds 180mm No Flash

Took this photo 2 years ago on a park, and this is probably my most beautiful flower shot last 2015. :lovey::love_heart: What do you think of this one?

Hi, I am a beginner at photographing, and I would like to know if this photo is good or not, I accept any kinds of opinions. I wanted to upload the full size, but the file is too large...

I still don't have a very good editing program but I'm happy with how these came out.

Early spring is nicer when these start popping up. :)
