The first blossom! I'm not sure whether this is apple blossom, guess I'll have to wait and see.

- Hi there, It's fun checking out the garden to see what wild life is lurking, the scenery on my travels, or simply the weather. I am using a Canon EOS 1000D digital camera. To see previous photos, please click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page. Any comments/tech hints etc are welcome.

Ooh... how did you get the black background?
W.E. when the camera's set on "macro" the background comes out black, just so long as there's nothing too close (or too bright) to the back of the subject.
it isn't me being clever. :-)
So it's just a setting on the camera?
w.e. it also has to do with distance from the subject. I try and make sure there's not bright sunlight, or patches of light behind it. From memory, this had a wooden fence in shade behind it. I go through an awful lot of batteries getting the right focus and background. Quite a few photographers use a black card behind flowers etc to get this effect, it's a bit of a hassle for me to carry a board round the garden, then you have to make sure it doesn't cut out the light.
Hope this makes a bit more sense:)
Fascinating. Whenever I'm out of school and have a little more time, I really would like to get into photography.
