I found this subject when I pick up sucre from work everyday at NUS growing just next to the carpark in the little garden there. So I just brought along my H1 one day and took some shots with hibiscus while waiting for sucre. Its a fine day for photography with ample of sunlight for my camera but the wind was less kind to my macro shots. Nonetheless, I tried many different shots just to see how many ways I could shoot a flower and I realized that I may not be as creative as I think I would be.

All photos taken with the Sony H1 and the M3358 close up lens for those close up shots. Images are resized only, no other post processing was done.

I just realized that this orange hibiscus blends in very well with the theme of this blog. Hmm... maybe I could use this for something in the future too.
