Macro shot - experimenting with Dof and colour.

I wanted to minimise Dof with this shot and get as close up as possible, keeping the centre 'silver hairs' as sharp as possible, leaving the background and some of the outer spikes' soft.

Green tissue paper pinned up against a window to let the light reflect through. I love the way the light makes the spikes goes almost luminous - an amazing flower!

Painful looking building.

To a deco themed complementary colours.

Dark Orange Newton.

Used 50mm f/1.8 lens. Wanted to keep the centre sharp and blur out to the edges

Wanted to create impact with colour - using complimentary colours. I used green tissue paper pinned up against a window to let the light reflected through. I wanted to make the colour pop as much as possible.

Originally taken for Dof practice - but kept back for Week 5 - colour!

Some get a bit blasé about the fall stuff after a while, but I can't. Here's a lesson in complementary colours. :-)
