Springs Preserve (Spring Flora Blossoms)

In April I attended two Digital Photography classes at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve. My main objective for taking these classes was to learn more about obtaining and mastering 'Depth-of-Field" in my closeups. Even though I'm not sure I have it all down yet, I do feel that I am getting closer to understanding what camera settings I need in order to achieve it. Here are what I consider some of the better closeup pictures of plants & flowers I captured during these two visits. The Slide Show at the bottom of the page contain all of the plant & flower pictures taken during these two visits.
