My mission today was to shoot a photo for an assignment on the Martin Bailey Photography website (www.martinbaileyphotography.com) whose theme was ‘everything in focus’. I had the idea of taking a macro shot of a flower so I visited our local florist this morning and bought this glorious yellow gerbera for the purpose. I tried lots of different compositions but plumped for this one with the frame entirely filled with the petals. Who knows whether it will get anywhere in the competition but it was fun trying and I’ve ended up with a lovely, sunny shot for today’s Photoblog posting if nothing else!
