I've noticed the same thing. With white flowers, I generally take several
shots at different exposures. One of the nice things about digital cameras
is that you don't have to worry about wasting film - generally, you can take
a many pictures as you want and throw away the bad ones without regret or
expense. 

 

A flower I have found to be very difficult to photograph is Fuchsia
Gartenmeister Bonstedt. Whether in the sun or in the shade, the image always
comes out with a patch of glare on the flower. I've taken dozens of photos
of this one and have yet to get a perfect one. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?
