... Macro—a Seasonal Addiction My great love is flower photography, and I love to create more pleasing soft ethereal-looking compositions. I avoid using strong colours; for me, soft colours work best for this type of photography. I try to keep the backgrounds simple, with no glaring features that can take away the beauty of the flower. When photographing flowers, it is not unusual for my husband to see my head rocking back and forward, in and out, with my finger poised on the shutter button, finding the sweet spot of focus and providing lovely background bokeh. But, in saying that, many of my compositions don’t have much of anything in focus.
