Beauty often displays in hidden places...
It's amazing what the inside of a classic tulip has to offer ~.~

I am curious about the equipment you have been using for these shots. Could I get you to mention it? You have always had a good eye, but my curiosity gets the better of me.
Thanks, Juno!
I've only ever used a digital compact. Up until 2007 I used a Canon Ixus 3.2mp, then later an Ixus 8mp. I gave up on Canon because of a known lens-retraction problem and now have a pink colored Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11, 14mp, which I'm very happy with. I tried out quite a few cameras before choosing this one, and the biggest issue I ran into over and over was excessive noise on even the best settings. The Lumix has gotten great reviews based on the clarity of its images.
I just use the macro zoom feature. I've got it set for high quality (4:3 10mp, ISO 80, auto white balance) I never use flash or change the camera setting, and only maybe boost the exposure and saturation a bit in iPhoto. Very simple process :) I like to point the camera at colorful things, which really registers well digitally.
Lovely pics! Let me guess - these were taken just outside of Cafe Loki across from Hallgrímskirkja?
If not, they could have been... I had lunch there on Sunday afternoon and there were three or four big pots just like this out amongst the patio tables.
I just returned home from Reykjavík yesterday (Monday) after arriving last Thursday. What weather! I was quite lucky as it was rainy and miserable here in Boston the entire time.
Had a great time - can't wait to return. I am definitely hooked!
Yep, Viszlát, you are correct! These flowers are ust outside of Cafe Loki, which we pass by almost every day : ) Glad you had a great trip!
