KitCMC DarcyD it’s been a hard one to snag in the dahlia wars! This picture won’t help 😆Absolutely stunning!
PegMc Darcy, what is your new camera set-up? I'm starting to think about a new purchase. My Nikkon is tired!
DarcyD PegMc These were taking on my Canon 5DMiii with a macro lens, or likely a 100mm. My new set up is more geared for fast action & is an R6Mii but I can't wait to try it on flowers.
PegMc DarcyD R6Mii,,, ohhhhh, NICE!!!!! The first Mark II was newly out when I bought my equipment. It was so tempting but definitely more pricey. The priceline looks like it has come down quite a bit! Tempting!
Teddahlia My wife Margaret has take some really nice pictures with her Samsung cell phone and I shoot with my google pixel6. I wanted to see if there was much difference and took this picture.
Krista Teddahlia Wow I’m really impressed by how virtually identical the framing is for both photos. That alone would be a feat with separate handheld devices, I’d wonder. I love comparison shots.

JessieC Hi I’m Jessie in Charlottesville Virginia! This was my very first bloom of 2022, and I imagine you all recognize it. Thanks for putting this forum together! I’ve enjoyed lurking on Cubits and hope to learn (and contribute) more here. Beautiful photos, Darcy 😍
Krista JessieC Hi Jessie! I'm also a former Cubits stalker, but I'm finding the courage to contribute in this new space. I'm looking forward to discussions about dahlias with you, welcome. Your dahlia bloom is beautiful!
JessieC Darce Thanks Darcy! AndreaB Thank you Andrea 🥰 And thanks to Amanda for setting the whole thing up, and to all of you who share your knowledge and good cheer. It’s helpful during the dark and cold months. I took up flower arranging as a pandemic hobby and quickly became interested in growing flowers, as well as finding sources for locally grown blooms. It’s been such an interesting time, to say the least.
Darce Hi Jessie! I am also a former cubits lurker! So glad this new space was created and it inspired me to come out of the shadows too😂
Krista Teddahlia I am foggy on this but I seem to recall reading a quote of yours somewhere that the petals of this one have a deep-colored reverse. I try peering closely at each photo I see of this elusive beauty but I've not seen one that showcases this quality. Which makes me think my memory is failing me. Beautiful bloom and photo!
