Mainly a gallery post. Couple weeks ago I finally had a chance to go around the botanical garden and took some photos. Now since this is Spring in Melbourne (at least it should be), there was plenty of great flowers to take photos of. 

The gear that I had at that time was quite minimal. One fixed 90mm macro lens and my Nikon D300s body. All was taken handheld as I didn’t bother to bring any tripod. Like always, the secret of taking macro photos handheld is patience. Always keep a steady breathing and don’t get agitated if the wind does blow the flowers.

Personally I found taking flower photos is always relaxing in some ways.
