杜鵑花競相怒放，繁花似錦，爭芳鬥艷，嫵媚動人。
The nickname of New Jersey in USA is the Garden State. In the spring season, many kinds of beautiful flowers
are blooming all over the places not only in various arboretum and gardens in many parks, but also in many
suburban residential areas and farm markets in New Jersey. This web page presents photos of sample spring
flowers in New Jersey.

These close-up photos of flowers were taken by using my compact super-zoom camera, Canon PowerShot
SX10, with 20X optical zoom. Such compact super-zoom camera can achieve "Shallow Depth of Field" which is
very good for taking pictures of beautiful flowers. The flower is in focus whereas the backgrounds are out of
focus and are blurred. The Shallow Depth of Field is achieved by using the long zoom plus the Macro mode. We
stand at a substantial distance (e.g., 15 feet) away from the flower to take the close-up picture by using the
long zoom. It is important to use either a monopod or a tripod to stabilize the camera for sharp pictures because
the picture is very sensitive to any tiny shake in hand when the camera is zoomed far out to about 20X even
through the camera has built-in Image Stabilizer.
Most compact digital cameras cannot rely on only the large aperture size (i.e., small f number) to achieve
Shallow Depth of Field because of the small photo sensor and the small-size lens in such compact cameras.
Instead, they rely on the long zoom plus the Macro mode of the compact super-zoom cameras to achieve the
desired Shallow Depth of Field. I learned such nice tips of photography from several experts in the Yahoo!Group
on photography with members all over the world and with common interest on the Canon PowerShot S Series of
super-zoom cameras.
All major camera manufacturers are competing in the market of compact super-zoom cameras. The prices of
such compact super-zoom cameras range from about $300 to $400 as of 2009 depending on the brand and the
camera store.

青翠竹林， 古人素有賞竹、詠竹、寫竹、種竹、伴竹而居的傳統，這
種虛心有節的植物，寄託了人們高風亮節、清廉正直的情操。
