Here are some photos of flowers I took throughout this year with my crappy digital camera:

Thanks! It's my favorite one too.  :)

A lot of the pictures are slightly blurry because those flowers were really small, and my cheap camera doesn't have a very good macro function...

This is my favorite:



Nice job, for a crappy camera! I'd love to see what you could do with a GOOD camera.

I really like this one:



the focal length gives you a good sense of the flower's depth. The ones of the bee are really cute, too. For a "crappy digital camera", not bad at all!

Awww, you people are too nice.  :)

I think I'd like to get more into photography a bit more before I invest in something nicer (and more expensive). Right now its just a wee little hobby on the side, but I'd also like to experience with my dad's super-old Polaroid camera. The hard part is finding some film for it that won't cost me $1 per shot, though.

That might not be possible. I have a good friend who is a professional photographer, who uses a really old Polaroid for his photobooth events. The film is EXPENSIVE, and sometimes he gets a bum cartridge, too.

Here's some of his work:

How alarming. I just realized that there are three pictures with me in them in his portfolio. Really alarming ones.

Mhhhm...I thought that would be the case. I even looked on eBay and shook my fist at the exorbitant prices. It's highway robbery!

I like your friend's work; they're all very whimsical but homey too.
And don't worry, the ones with you in them aren't nearly as shocking as others.  :wink:
