Always togather
Uploaded: September 04, 2007
Comments: To get a vivid non-distracting background, I reduced the DOF to its shallowest range, which I had obtained through the combination of longer focal length and wide aperture. For longer focal length, I took this shot from a distance of about four meters from the flowers. The plant was located under deep shadows of nearby trees and there was a substantial amount of wind. To avoid motion blur I had increased the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity. Unfortunately, my camera is not capable of handling noise in shadows at ISO settings above 64 where as I was in need for higher ISO speed for this shot. Thanks to Photoshop that helps me to overcome this problem without putting extra efforts.
