Red Fuchsia

I haven’t done much flower photography recently – and certainly not since I changed cameras to the Micro-Four-Thirds Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, with its M Zuiko 12-100mm f4 IS PRO lens. However, as I passed by a flowering fuchsia in one of our garden planters the other morning, I felt that is was really worth a photograph and so tried the above combo to see how it turned out.

Hand-held at 1/100s and ISO250, I am very pleased with the result. It is quite sharp with minimal noise and at f/4 it has made the background brick wall nicely out-of-focus.

I really should do more of these flora shots, particularly whilst the garden is in full bloom.
