Bright and fuzzy

The two brightest colours in the garden

brought together in one picture.

It was a coincidence really that they got together.

I wanted to photograph the last of the Anemone

but the Geum was there as well, a little bit in the way.

Photographing Anemone from behind the Geum

gave these bright coloured pictures though.

The Geum serves as some kind of a curtain

through which the Anemone are looked at and I like it!
Both bright colours, one making the other

come out better and even stronger in these pictures I think.

Isn't photographing fun?

Both flowers are in flowerpots on the terrace

so I could have easily removed the Geum

but I didn't. I let the pots stand in their place.

These rosebuds were also seen through

a curtain of thin stems.

It gives the picture a bit of mysteriousness,

don't you think?

I kinda like the fuzzy unsharpness in this picture.

I do like pictures taken with

a small depth of field as well
where the attention is really drawn
to one little detail in the photo.
The one detail you want everyone to see.

I can't really get that result with my camera;

it's obvious a 'serious' camera, a special lens

and the adequate light conditions, natural or artificial,

are necessary for such pictures.

But for now, I'm glad with the pictures I can take.

I have developed my own tricks to 'approximately'

get the pictures I want: I almost always zoom in completely

and then come as near as possible to the object I want to photograph.

So even the close-ups are photographed from quite a distance.

It's the only way for me to get a little bit of

the fuzzy background I like so much in pictures.

but it's a trick and that trick doesn't work in every situation.

I'll let myself be amazed again now by the beautiful variety of pictures

I find on all of your blogs.

 

Bye,

I wish you all a beautiful new week,
