Blue Cornflower

I don't have any in my wildflower strip or in wildflower corner this year. It's very sad. But I do have some lovely centaureas which almost make up for the lack of blue. :)

They're nice too though?! Are they in the thistle family?
Not quite happy with the pic but I've been completely lazy lately just using Snapseed & Photoshop Express on the tablet...
How are your photos going? Apologies for not always looking

Darren..sometimes ok. Thanks. I had a pro here a few weeks back. His were no better than mine. He said the wind was the issue. Made me feel a lot better!

Using a fast shutter speed or a flash can help but it's tricky getting the focus just right! That's what I was unhappy with, I wanted more of the flower in focus.
I'm still enjoying learning though

I have been playing with the shutter speed, but tbh, not been spending much time with the camera. Hopefully will get back to it now the Open Days are finished.

I posted a pic of the semps you sent. Still enjoying them, thanks!
Upside of digital photos is that you can experiment endlessly at no cost☺

Yes, that is the upside. I need to slow it down though and take more time composing the shots.

Composition is the most difficult thing for me. There's just an indefinite load of possibilities?
I know what's wrong with this pic though. The depth of field is too narrow. Just got the centre in focus when I wanted the whole flower sharp. Doh!
