I heard that Franck Avril, the photographer from San Francisco died. He loved dahlias and was the photographer for Dan's Dahlias.
Photos from the San Franciso Dahlia Society site.

That's a sad loss to the dahlia community. His photos are used by other vendors as well and they were stunning. I have noticed less on the last couple years.
My SLR camera that had the macro lens conked out and I am using a Canon G-15. It is a high end, point and shoot camera that is about 3 years old. I leave it on automatic and let the camera computer do most of the work, especially the focus. I cannot quite reach the quality of the SLR but it certainly is a lot easier. Good lighting really helps and this was an early in the morning picture where the sun was bit yellow orange and the rays were coming at an angle in the AM. And I took many other pictures that did not turn out very well too. Taking lots of pictures ensures that some of them turn out.

The picture on the left was posted on Facebook. I changed the color until the foliage was the proper color and that is the picture on the right. Still a nice purple that no one has seen before.
