trip to the park
Top Cat:
I don't know about the rest of the country, but the weather has been sublime here in the Northwest, the last two days. :jumpmove:
So i made the most of it, and went with the family to Arley gardens.
This was my first trip out were i had lots of photo opportunities with the new camera, and my lesson for the day was to just try and learn about depth of field, and try and get nice bokeh in the background of the images. If your a butch kinda person you wont like these. :pomppomp:
On my large screen mac its easy to see, but not to clear on here, but this butterfly has only been a butterfly for a very short time, his wings are not properly formed and if you look closely you can still see he has a very hairy back. ( Similar to mine ).
Some quite rare magic mushrooms. :innocent: Led Zep made these famous.
Onto my favourite pics of the day.
These have only been cropped, the strange light and fairy like atmosphere was natural, and the light shining through the translucent petals made them glow like tree lights.

Great shots, TC - You've clearly learnt about depth-of-field focus....
and got in touch with your feminine side by your new found interest in flowers

Thanks robin. :smiley: I bought a new fast lens to play with, the aperture opens up to F 1.4. which makes focusing interesting to say the least. If you look at this pic you can clearly see how narrow the depth of field is wide open.
On this pic of my son His right eye is in focus but his left eye is not. And its only a few mil further back into the pic. :confused:

Great examples to teach what the aperture setting does to the focus field :happy2:
What is your new camera? (sorry, if you've already said, I've forgot). Can you see the focus field effect before to shoot?

I have a Canon 550d. And there is a feature on the camera that shows you depth of field, but it's strange and hard to use for a newbie like me. When you press the dof button the part of the image in focus, gets shaded when looking through the view finder but not for me yet. :signLOL: I either get no shading or cant see a thing. :laugh:
