The detail is amazing, in low light. Did you use a tripod?

Thanks. No, I didn’t use a tripod. It’s such a pain that I rarely set one up.

Wow, you took this photo? Simply beautiful. I love taking pics of my flowers as well, but the photos don’t always turn out this well!~

I’m obsessed with taking pictures of dahlias. I took these in a greenhouse with perfect natural light. I love shooting in greenhouses on overcast days. Fortunately all my local nurseries know me and let me shoot to my heart’s content.
