I took some time today while I was @thebrownbarn to take a walk around the pond. I have seen some nicely backlighted shots recently and wanted to give it a go. I pulled out my 1.8 50mm and found a nice milkweed pod to start.
I love the effect I get at 1.8 and the blurry halos if light.
Next, I tried a still water reflection. I was trying to recreate a shot I have done a number of times, but it is not the best image I have gotten.
I love that the sky is such a deep blue in the refection. But the water was not still enough for a great shot. I also like that you can play a little mind game with these images. Rotate 180° and you have this...
I will post a picture of my better version of this shot for an example.
Leaves in the sky!
Last shot.. Depth of Field.
Great day for yellows!! I took some more shots, but I am saving them for @thebrownbarn.
I love the leaves in the sky. I have been shooting milkweed too ~ Addicting.
ReplyDeleteWhen I flipped the milkweed shots, the seeds looked like perfect little ballerinas.
