I am a 42-year old husband and father. I was an avid computer gamer and DOF, F-stops and the like were foreign to me until my wife introduced me to photography. I began shooting during the latter part of March 2010 and quickly became addicted to it. I started this blog to share my journey and to learn along the way. Special thanks to my wife Eng who encouraged me and to all my friends in Blogosphere who shared their knowledge and taught me to further this craft. |

Beautiful picture and image.
Incrivelmente bela! Formas e cores espetaculares! Parabéns por tão bela foto!
Incredibly attractive! Looks like one of those exquisite Japanese snacks that you admire and cannot bear the thought of touching, much less eating ;-)
What a glorious sight this is! And, I love fuchsias!
Exquisite! The colors are so vibrant!
Stunning image. Great colors and DoF.
I think "STUNNING" is the right word.
Gorgeous one!

Gorgeous colors.
superb and lovely.
Pinko!
I tried to type "Bingo!" but my fingers lost control. I think it's a matter of pinkmentation.
Bla, bla, bla, pretty, pretty, pretty, bla, bla, bla. Duh! :-) Well done Dave. Love the bokeh & soft colors/background.
Light tent? Mine was just a sheet draped over a card table or something like that with another sheet under & behind for a seamless background, if I wanted white. Took a lot of searching in second hand stores to get the sheets for a good price as wife would not let me use the one off the bed. :-) (Not true, we have plaid sheets. Not usable.) Good light was had either outdoors (hard to do in any wind) or with a flash on either side. I had real cheap garage sale flash with $5 optical trigger. Worked great. Trick was to learn how to turn off pre-flash on camera for optical trigger to work and to block or diffuse camera flash so it would not ruin shot. (Cut up milk jug diffuser mounted in hot shoe & blocked flash!)
Mmmm - superfoto - gorgeous !!!
you are really one of the best photographer dave
Beautiful shot of that fuschia - they always remind me of ballerinas!
Happy RT!
Gorgeous and a perfect Ruby Tues photo
The fuschia seems to radiate with bold colour! And the white on the stamens is like some drops of magical icing!

The photo of the fuchsia is stunning!
I love the fuzzy-ness
my grandmother used to describe things as so beautiful they broke her heart
that applies here
I really like all your photoes! This is gorgeous!
Have a nice day!
Wow! This is exquisite, stunning, gorgeous, and all of the other adjectives used in previous comments. The colors and light are almost perfect. ("Almost" because perfect might ruin it.)
Extraordinary shot. Although I have captured these same flowers, they were nothing as incredible as this one.
You are one of a king! great job again Dave!
u may view mine too here
gorgeous shot, as always ... i love fuschias.
My Ruby Redness
Love it. I got this flower in macro but never thought of shooting at this angle. Good job... as usual!
Your macro work never fails to amaze me, and this is no exception. How vibrant!
Intense color combo- a striking macro!
Nice. I love those flowers too.
The scene is really beautiful.
Your photography is splendid.
Thank you for showing a wonderful moment...
