Conclusions

With a few careful considerations, it is very easy to take good pictures of our favorite subjects--herbs! When you put the camera to the eye, evaluate the composition. Are the colors good? Are the subjects in focus? Does the subject fill the frame? Are there detractors in the foreground or background? Will you have shadows? Where is the light coming from? Should you stand, kneel or lay on the ground? Move around the target to determine if you can get a better composition. Once you have a good collection or library, explore the wide range of options for using them--show off your talents. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words!
