First Flower of the year

f8, ISO 400, 1/80sec

What do to when in a garden centre with nothing to do? Shoot the flowers of course! Though it was a sunny and clear day I still upped the ISO to 400 to keep my shutter speed up whilst stoppind down - no tripod to speak of and I didn't even want to shift to using the macro lens (lazy and it was hot...) so had to deal with the massivly long minimum focusing distance - amazing how much I had to step back sometimes! Still results were good!
