Hi, I've posted these in the comp thread but I will post here too because I would like some advice on them if anybody has any for me, these are my first pictures with my new camera and I don't really know how to use it, it shows I think

Main question, how do I get all of the flowers in focus? is it something to do with aperture? And any other advice/criticism you have for me

Advice greatly appreciated!!

Use a smaller aperture (higher f number)

wot he said. Many cameras have a 'depth of field preview button' - if yours has, you can check to see just what will be in focus before you shoot.

Moving further away and zooming in would also help.

You use f5.6 for these shots. Try something like f16 or f22.

One curious thing is there's 'focus warning' in EXIF and it says 'out of focus'. I've never seen it before personally. Were you very close to the subject?
