That's amazing. That bloom is smaller even than the crocus I photographed
( and was given to the Central Otago arts site). I actually measured that one
with a tape, and it was/is 2cm = 3/4 inch from the top of a petal to its bottom.
That shot was 1/15 second at ISO 125, at at f/11 or f/16 or f/22.
I was so pleased to find after all the shouting was over ( or shooting) that
the
bloom was nearly all in focus from front to back. I decided to go for max
DOF and ignore the potential bad effects of diffraction.
There's no way I could have got a shot that sharp hand-held. Tomorrow I'll
try and get a couple of shots of what my shooting set-up was. The blooms
are still there.
I wonder what the name of that rose is. This site is excellent but it helps a
lot
to have a good idea at the start as to where to begin

Altissimo is one of the roses we have. Refresh the page (repeatedly) to
bring up a succession of different pics of the same variety.
