Hi! I took these at a church picnic where there where lots of wild flowers around. An older photographer who goes to our church let me uses some of his lenses for the day. I was in heaven to say the least (his lenses are really nice) 🙂
The settings are the same for all the photos.
ISO 100
f/13
1/200Attachments:
That was nice of him to let you use his lenses! What lenses were you using?
A few things about the first picture…
-It seems busy. The leaf that’s sticking up in the middle of the bottom of the picture is distracting, and I find the bright spots of light on parts of the flowers to be distracting as well. The flowers in the semi-background distract from the flowers that are being focused on, especially since they are the ones in the center of the picture.
-The entire branch on the right is not in focus. I think it would be better to either focus on a specific flower on the branch or else the entire branch, rather than having part of the branch in focus and then going out of focus on the end.I like the second picture; I may have given a little more space at the bottom of the picture, as it feels a bit close to the edge.
I like the third picture too, but I think my favorite is the 2nd one. 🙂
I love the second one. I’ve tried to get a similar effect but to no avail. I have a old 18-22 lens. How did you achieve “the look”?!?
@bennett-family the lens I was using for these photos was a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro.
I may have given a little more space at the bottom of the picture, as it feels a bit close to the edge.
Yeah, I’m not that happy with that aspect of the photo but I was kinda precariously balanced on the side of a hill so I couldn’t do that much as far as framing goes. 🙂
@sarahanne I’m not that sure of what you mean, but if you mean the out of focus background effect, I think it was just the lens because I’ve never gotten that good of a “bokeh” before
