Point & Shoot

I have concocted a screwy way to take pictures when my back won’t allow me to get down on the ground with my eye against the camera.  I simply set the camera to automatic, point, shoot, and hope for the best.  Here are some of the results from today’s garden tour without any editing:

Generally, the images turn out just fine.

I think your photos came out amazingly well......everything looks like it is busting out all over.....except, perhaps....the corn....I am not at all sure about the corn.

Love, LO

Not bad at all, Maybelline. What kind of camera do you use?

I would say that your point & shoot method works very well. I have a heck of a time trying to photograh the helleboros and they have such pretty little faces but they always hang their heads!

Ah yes. I'm practising this school of photography myself.

What amazing shots for letting the camera do the work! Clearly your point-and-shoot is smarter than mine. In Macro mode, mine still always wants to focus on the background and keep the subject blurry.
