Meanie:

Very beautiful close up! : > )

Thanks Delonix - it really helps to have a good subject to photograph though!!

Meanie:

You must have an expensive high-quality DSLR camera. It also helps to be a very good photographer. : > )

It's a Nikon D40, so not too expensive but certainly good enough quality! It really pays to mess about with the settings so that you can get a handle on it.

Meanie:

You do a good job of using the setting.

I took a digital camera class about 3 years ago...I think I need to take another soon. : > )
