Photographing nature
Emily invited me to join the New Zealand Natives Group on Flickr, which is very nice, considering I haven't taken a photo of anything but my children ever.
I thought I'd better give it a go though, and you know, push my boundaries. I'm kind proud of my first picture. I don't want anyone telling me that the resolution is dicky or the mouseometer uncalibrated. I don't care, okay?

Thanks Ben, don't ask me. I think it was just lucky - certainly not the flash. Those new leaves are pretty brilliant looking in real life, and the sun is out.
Native rhubarb?
Mmm, perhaps I'll cook it up and see.
Inside of a Puka actually. My favourite tree.
well done, I too was invited to the new zealand natives group on flickr but i thought it was a joke (no offence) its just that living in australia and all tis a bit harder for me to participate. Maybe I can just take photos of new zealand natives like me and my kiwi friends.
Lovely vibrant green. Spring is so clearly here and me likes...
I like the pic you have in Flickr called "Hebe". It's more simple and graphical. Less confusing. You're really looking for shape, colour, and texture here. It doesn't actually have to be a straight out picture of a plant.
Mmm. The hebe picture reminds me of a greeting card or wrapping paper. I can see why you like it, I kind of like it myself, but really - a bit boooring.
The puka is one of my babies, so I'm rather proud of the new growth.
