'Tulip +' by Mike Pockney

Old Coulsdon Camera Club

Summer is around the corner and now is the time for photographers to get up close with the natural world to see things you may not notice with the naked eye. 'Tulip+' is a close-up of the inside of a tulip showing the patterns on the petals with a little in-computer enhancement to the stamens to make them look diamond-studded. Why not try using your camera on Macro setting (look for a little flower symbol) and see what you can achieve with close-up images? Flowers will stay still (unless its windy) so as more of a challenge try butterflies and other insects - you might be surprised at how intricate they are ?
