My Mom’s Rose Garden

Last week, my friend Leonardo Galvão was such a big friend, and was kind enough to lend me his 70-200mm lens, so I could use it on Psicodélika’s photoshoot. It really helped a lot but left an aching void in my heart. I NEED more lenses! I only have the kit 18-55mm and the 50mm.

There is a birding photography contest coming up, so I thought I’d give it a try with the telelens. At this time of the year, by twilight there are many Fork-tailed Flycatchers ( Tyrannus savana) hunting for moths around where I live. And for such a big contest as the Avistar is, I’d better get something impressive, like a chase between moths and birds. Oh God. I won’t even dwell into how miserably I failed. Not even one shot! In my frustration, I turned my atentions to the roses in my mother’s garden. There’s a section of the garden dedicated to the roses alone. I know there were some people curious about these roses 🙂
