I would definitely try the macro setting that will help with some of the close up focusing issues. Move your vase farther away from the back of the background. This will give you a seamless look of all white background. Also with natural light if there is not enough and your camera is on a slow shutter speed steady the camera by either using a tri pod or setting it down on a flat surface. Hope this helps! pw (from byw) Gorgeous flowers! I would definitely try the macro setting that will help with some of the close up focusing issues.

(i think thats what its called) You get to it by clicking the left side of the "wheel" (I have the same camera) and choosing the icon that looks like a little tulip. Your close ups will come out super sharp. =) One little tip I have for you that comes in really handy when photographing things close up is to use the macro setting.
