New Hobby

Photography.... it is kind of hard to understand at first with the f-numbers, apertures, shutter speed, etc and how they relate to each other. Day by day as I explore my new hobby, I found out that if you want to take great shots you will need 2 essential skills; technical skills to play around with the settings and creativity skills (you can get sharp images technically but if you don't have any creativity the shots will become oh so plain). Well, here's some shots of my roses, close up.

The picture I like the most. I will update as the rose blooms.

Taken in haste. Focus point a bit too near to the camera.  Wanted to focus at the center of the rose.
