How To Take a Great Still Flower Picture

This instructable will take you through the steps of taking still flower shots (specifically lilies). I took a recent trip to a lily farm and took some pictures, and I am going to give you some tips to help you take some really nice pictures.

Step 1 Setting up for a great picture

Ok first things first you need to set up your flower for the picture. You will need a place with good lighting and a good background. I have uploaded a picture of my set. In my set I had a whole patch of flowers so I could get some flowers in the background.

Great photo! The focus and detail are incredible. Did you use a tripod or monopod when taking these photos?

Thanks for the compliment pmckracken, and no I just held the camera in my hands and steadied it with out a monopod or tripod. Thanks.

I got 2 cams, a Fuji F-P A350, and a Sony C-S DSC-S600, 5.2 & 6.0 MP, respectivly. the FinePix has macro, but the DSC S600 doesnt. BTW, anybody got any instructables on how to hack a Sony Cybershot S600 to, like, turn the Digi-zoom into a macro mode or something like that?

Sorry I can't help but I don't know a hack for your sony camera. Good luck finding a hack. I hope I helped you with your picture taking skills.
