How to take pictures of beautiful flowers

How to take pictures of beautiful flowers: "Taking pictures of beautiful flowers is something I have always enjoyed. You see things on the photos and through the camera lens that you don't see just looking at them. Most people don't get down to flower level and really see the flower. Taking flower photos is a good way to practice with your camera as well. Flowers stay where they are so you can take your time to get the shot just right. They also make really nice relaxing slide shows in the middle of the winter mixed with some nice background music."

Where to Focus in Landscape Photography - Digital Photography School

Where to Focus in Landscape Photography - Digital Photography School: "Where should I focus when taking a Landscape Shot?

When shooting a typical landscape image it is normal to attempt to keep as much of the image in focus as possible.

This means selecting a small Aperture (remember the larger the number the smaller the actual Aperture) to ensure that you end up with a large depth of field. This will ensure that parts of the image that are both close and far away from you have a good chance of being somewhat in focus."
