Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: jgs001 on October 16, 2009, 09:59:01 pm Thanks Guys. Twas the 55-250 @ f8.... but point blank range...
Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: JohnC on October 20, 2009, 05:27:33 pm You've caught the last flowering for the season,John. Many people don't prune after the summer rose bloom and lose the second budding/flowering in October.
Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: jgs001 on October 20, 2009, 11:00:30 pm Thanks John, that's interesting... I didn't know that.. but anything other than power tools (mower, leaf blower, hedge trimmer) is the OH's domain...
Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: JohnMurphy on October 20, 2009, 11:42:41 pm Very nice shots, love the first because of the clouds - great idea. I'm sure you'll try to get under the target next time and try to get more inclusion. I always look at my shots afterwards and think why didn't I do this or that.
Excellent stuff though you are very talented indeed. Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: jgs001 on October 21, 2009, 01:01:02 am Thanks very much John.
What do you mean by under the shot and more inclusion though ? The DOF is just what I was aiming for (if that's what you mean by inclusion)... I wanted only a single bud sharp and in focus. Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: JohnMurphy on October 21, 2009, 02:00:45 pm Sorry, didn't put that very well.
What I meant was to include more of the cloud, or bring it closer to the flower by changing your perspective. Title: Re: Reach for the Sky Post by: jgs001 on October 21, 2009, 02:04:38 pm Ah gotcha thanks for the clarification.. Changing perspective, you mean get further away and zoom in more ?
