A few weeks ago Jane was at our house and she was taking a close up picture of something (I don't remember what). She stated that it wasn't coming out and David said to her "Use the flower". Jane and I both responded "What?". David then proceeded to show us the flower which is on most digital cameras and should be used whenever you take a close up photo. Here's the flower:Here's an example of two pictures. One with the flower setting one without:

I can't believe you didn't know about the flower...
And you live with a photographer...
Further proof that David knew what he was talking about when he said you needed the Sydney lens :)
I had no clue what the flower was used for! Another important lesson learned via kim1champ.
Thanks, David!
Wow! I never knew that. Just add that to the wonderful things I have learned on this blog!
On a different note, what are you feeding Sydney? She looks like she has grown a ton since she was born!
Wow, how did I not know about the flower? I am now excited to go take close up pics with my digital. Thanks David and thanks KT for sharing with us!
this is going to be the new catch phrase! we'll turn on the tv and we'll hear vince vaughn say "dude, use the flower!"
:)
I have seen the flower, but was unsure of its use. Close-ups?
Unfortunately, I had to take a picture of a piece of paper today for proof, and without that advice it may not have worked.
Thanks,
most digitals, if you turn it to a setting, for a few seconds a little description shows up in the window to tell you what that setting is best for.
I took a picture of a petrified rock at the Grand Canyon just days after learning the technique (by the way the flower is called macro). I too will need to post.
Thanks DT!!!
I was taking pictures of my Autistic students art work at Open House. They weren't turning out right so I used the flower, and they look amazing!
