Flower photography my hobby

Flower photography is one of my hobby. I started it as a hobby for fun a few years back as amateur photographer but till today I am still a amateur photographer. I decided to invest in buying a digital camera and a couple of extra lenses. Since then, I have taken more than few hundreds pictures of flowers. I like used tripod camera to take flower pictures as its keeps the camera the level while you taking the pictures and will see a good shot out of it.

During holidays I would traveller to many places in my state, the hills, garden or any place where I can take picture of flowers as a hobby. I can spend as many as ten hours just taking flowers. My favourite flowers are orchids, roses, lotus and some wild flowers. Taking this picture you need the right lens to get it right. Even for vacation I will mostly focus on taking flower but not much on scenery.

At present I had a lots of photo album at home which I am very proud of it when every my friends or relatives visit our home I show my flower collection to them. I even frame it on the wall of my home so I can admire it and gives me the memory of places I took the pictures. I even sell some of my collection to friends to cover the cost of my hobby.
