I went on a field trip with my 19mm, 60mm and 180 mm lenses.

Svenning -

 

The weakest (#!) is quite good, but pales in comparrison to the others. Lovely light, color, selective focus and details in all three. #3 has terrific 3D effect of the strongly lighted, sharply focused foreground, and deeply diffused bokeh background.

Hmm armeria...this only grows wild in South America????

 

Be careful shooting on bright sunny days.....I usually avoid shooting flowers on a bright sunny day..its not the flower photographers best friend..best days are cloudy diffuse light.

 

Thanks for sharing

Dear Stuart and John,

 

Thank you for the comments.

 

John - you are rigth about avoiding strong sunlight days for photographing flowers, and even with the digital camera set to lowest ISO - the sensor could not handle the light level differences very well. But I also found out that the wind gusts were a big problem for getting a proper focus - especially with the 60mm Macro-Elmarit when shooting close-up pictures.

 

All the best - Svenning, Denmark.

John, in the UK armeria maritima is quite common on coastline cliff sites, particularly in Devon and Cornwall.

 

I quite like the three shots which help to give context information.
