Hello...
But today while walking to work, it was impossible not to notice the rich spectrum of autumnal colours as the leaves laid on the pavement. It really was a very pretty sight. And for the first time in almost 3 Months now I had that urge to pick up my Camera again.
Unfortunately I had to go to work, so i couldn't. But it did make me wonder why its been so long since I picked up my DSLR.
For the time being, until I can find time to get out and do some nice photos I thought I'd post some of the last few months along with how they were shot (for the photo-heads
out there like I).
Lady Bird -
NIKON D50 SIGMA 70-300mm. Manual. ISO 200. F/5.6. 1/640. No Flash
Open aperture to widest at that zoom level for greatest Depth of Field in order to draw eye to subject. No flash used as the lighting was fantastic here and luckily they had just been watered so the droplets had formed.
Honey Bee -
NIKON D50 SIGMA 70-300mm. Manual. ISO 200. F/5.6. 1/400. Fill in Flash
I used a small amount of fill in flash here (notice the shine on eye and back of bee) as it was a very bright day and other bushes and such offered unwanted shade. Shot with wide Aperture to give good DOF but not too open that most of the bee remains in focus.
More Photos from this Set can be viewed on my Flickr and I update with more later on :-)
