I discovered the macro application on my Canon IXUS in July 2008 while wandering around the Royal Hampton Garden show in England…and lets just say I haven’t looked back! I now own a Canon 450D and love the effects I can achieve with my 60mm macro lens.I love flowers, their form, colour and the way they make me feel. I also love colour and try to bring out as much of it as possible in my photos!..I hope you enjoy looking at my photos as much as I enjoy taking them!

    "This is my first time to write a testimonial here on Flickr and I´m so much motivated to do it for Rachael (usually call her Rach) because I want to express my appreciation of her awesome works and my gratitude for her constant support and friendship here in Flickr.
    Her macro shots of flowers are really amazing … you enjoy the beauty of those flowers by the way she presents them.
    I admit that I never appreciated the beauty of flowers before but her photostream had helped me overcome this weakness.
    In the first part of her photostream you can really appreciate the beauty of tulips, the sharpness, artistic composition seen in different angles and vivrant colours.
    I felt sad when she slowed down sometime in the last week of June till the second week of July, but when she came back… WOW all of her photos were Explored and several of them even hit the Front Page!! This I´m sure had motivated her again to be active here in Flickr and I´m so happy for that! Her photos in FP Explore really deserved to be there.
    She changed a little bit her style, now experimenting with shallow DOF and it´s really great. You can almost feel the softness and tenderness of the flowers…. You can really enjoy watching her photos.
    She was one of my first contacts and one of the few that I count as a Flickr friend... and I´m so happy to see in her profile that I´m also 1 of her 25 friends out of more than five hundred contacts! Her encouraging comments and constant faving really inspires me to improve my photography skills… thanks a lot,Rach!!"
