After having added lots of black/white and sepia colored images in the past days, I just felt like adding something more colorful today. What could be more appropriate than macro pictures of flowers?

I believe the "Pink Zinnia" was one of the first "test" shots I made after getting my macro lens, i.e. the Sigma 150mm f/2.8. This definitely is an awesome lens worth every cent! So if you're looking for a large aperture tele with macro capabilities, just go for it!

The picture of the Amaryllis is my second table top image added on this site. It was made with simple lighting and shooting techniques — see the image for further details.

Last but not least, the Grape Hyacinth is one of the first pictures taken with my EOS 30D: It was just taken for practicing purposes right before leaving for a trip to Japan in May 2006.
