I shot a couple of pictures on the 1st of a small clump of Iris reticulata we have in our front yard, using my 45-200 and was not overly thrilled with the sharpness I saw, or rather didn't see. Then it dawned on me that I had overlooked to switch off the IS on the lens and figured I'd better do another couple of shots the next morning. Not only was the overall sharpness substantially better, I also got the bonus of some fresh precipitation on them. This was shot on an old Minolta TR1 table top tripod at about F11 and manual focus, using a quick conversion of the RAW file in Silkypix and knock back the exposure value by about 2/3 of stop to increase the overall colour saturation.
