OH MY WORD these are beautiful. I need a macro lens.

You don’t, actually. All these were taken with a long lens from a distance. That has advantages and disadvantages…

Oooooh, indeed! Doesn’t change my opinion, though. Still beautiful. :)

I have a kayak in the same apartment where I took all of these photos (except the crocuses)—does that count?

Love the last shot with the yellow specks everywhere. Love the shades of purple and white across the petals too, haven’t seen too many like that. Hope you didn’t have to bend down too much to take these close-ups :)
LikeLike
No, didn’t have to bend at all—that’s what telephoto lenses are for ;-)

That’s good to hear, Vlad. Don’t want you hurting yourself. Lenses are expensive though. Hope one day I can get a telephoto lens. Love your photos, keep up the good work as usual :)
