Snap Dragons, Toowoomba Flower Festival, 2010

A flower festival is a great opportunity to capture a range of flowers. The above snap dragon, garden bed image was captured with a Nikon 24-120mm zoom lens. At garden shows the beds are generally a blaze of color and a medium range zoom lens is great to capture the garden beds.

Poppy, Toowoomba Flower Festival, 2010

The above poppy has been captured with a Nikon, 105mm, f/4, VR, Micro lens. A lens such as this enables you to get close to the subject and still keep a reasonable distance and yet, still fill up the viewfinder frame.

Iris, Toowoomba Flower Festival, 2010

The iris above has also been captured with the Nikon, 105mm, Micro lens.
