6 great reasons to shoot macros at your local nursery

Your local plant nursery may offer wonderful opportunities for flower and foliage macro photography with the following advantages over going out into the field:

1. A wide variety of flowers and foliage is on display

2. No need to get close to the ground for most shots

3. Protection from windy conditions

4. Shooting is possible even on rainy days

5. Pleasing quality of light from overhead diffusing panels

6. Your local nursery is local, no need to travel far afield.
