Ironweed Bloom
Uploaded: June 08, 2003
(F-Stop 11) Here I wanted to blur the background to reduce distractions and place the emphasis on the single bloom, but at the same time keep a little bit of the background detail.

Thanks Dale. I was happy with how it turned out. Of course if it hadn't been an overcast day, maybe I could have gotten the sky a little bluer. #111321Evy Johansen May 26, 2019
Great shot - good DOF! #111412Thomasa May 26, 2019
Glad to hear that Evy, as DOF is what I was experimenting with! Aperture settings are new to me and I was experimenting with different settings and observing the results. #111713Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
