I have a Canon Eos Rebel T3i with a 55-250mm lens usually placed on portrait setting. That will often give me a crisp daylily with a blurred background....which I really like. What I don't like is how the bright sun will fade out many of the colors. I am the first to admit that I am quite the novice when it comes to my camera, so I am all ears to your suggestions. A daylily friend told me about her use of the telephoto lens on portrait setting...and I'm sure you all at ATP have great ideas too.
Thanks!
Cynthia
