A Day In The Woods

Uploaded: March 31, 2007

Description

Taken deep in my woods. My beautiful dogwoods. I spot metered the brightest white petal to intentionally darken everything around the blooms. Used circular polarizer and selective focus on the front bloom. Canon 24-105 L IS at 85 mm, f/4.5, 1/60, ISO 100, hand held (don't you just love Image Stabilization!)

Thanks Pam and Dominick! It's one of my personal favs. of my own and I really appreciate your kind comments. I worked hard on these (but the pleasurable kind of hard) #4137489

Lovely! I like the composition, the selective focus, the dark background. Well thought out and executed.
I do like IS, but, am less successful than you at getting a good capture without a tripod, much to my dismay. #5482827
