Eye Candy

[MadHatter]

I recently bought a new DSLR camera and a nice set of lenses to go with it. For you camera geeks out there, its an olympus E520 with 35mm macro, 14-42 mm wide angle and 70-300mm zoom.
I'm getting pretty good with the Macro lens, and thought I'd share a couple of my best shots. Both of these are flowering on my balcony at the moment:

Diplarrena moraea - White Flag Iris


Thysanotus tuberosus - Common Fringe Lilly


I know there are a couple of other shutter bugs out there, so please, share your photos with us all!

Woo! Thanks for posting all of those Very calming.

MadHatter, those are great macros. I'm jealous of the second one - haven't seen any of those flowers nearby yet.

I suppose if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
I've been on an expedition to Ferntree Gully National Park today. Here are a few favorites:

Wahlenbergia stricta - Tall Bluebell


Stellaria Flaccida - Forest Starwort


Glycine clandestina - Twining Glycine


By the way, Bluetoungue, I saw quite a few Fringe Lillies there too.
Telegraph Track seems to be the wildflower hotspot at the moment.

I was outback a week or so ago and although I dont think I focused on any macro work (haha), I did get some nice pics, will post some when I get a chance.
