My sweet lil Zoe cat. She put up with me playing around with some shallow depth of field on my seldom used 50mm. Always fun to change it up from time to time. When I saw how her eyes and those few strands of "eyebrow whiskers" popped I was glad I did. Meow!

Soon it's time again for the Bokeh lenses :)

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.

 

In unserem Garten ist im Moment so einiges los :) Es ist eine wahre Freude den Bienen bei der Arbeit zuzusehen.

 

There is a lot going on in our garden at the moment :) It is a real pleasure to watch the bees at work.

That's how far I walked from my back door to get this shot. Ok, maybe 15. I'm terrible at distances.

 

Best to see it large on black!

Tamino is waiting for his best buddy Dexter :)

 

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a fave and/or a comment. Have a great Sunday.

I was lucky enough to have a little time in a friend's mum's garden after work last night. The early evening light was doing something special to her beautiful spring flowers :)

It's been a while since I've been DoFing

A combination of this bird and a reflective table top made a really nice setting to take a photo of this illuminated bird ornament.

Sadly the tulips are finally giving up the ghost but I wanted to capture their final moments! Bokeh curtesy of the roses and hyacinths which had shared the vase with the tulips and were also a bit past their best!

 

Thanks for all the very kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated :)

Hula Preserve, Israel. We were there to see the migrating cranes from Africa but this light caught me.

Late afternoon July sun, back lighting, whilst Ashley plays with, of all things, a peg!

I couldn't walk past this wonderful old birch tree... thankfully husband and dogs were in reasonably patient mode... Love the dreaminess of this lens at 1.2... :)

So I took my camera out today and gave my new 50mm a test run. The auto focus is a little shaky at times, but I guess for £70 it wasn't going to be perfect. Still, I'm pretty happy with it, and if manual lenses have taught me one thing, it's that I can now use the fully manual mode on my camera without things going horribly wrong haha.

Anyway, here's a stereotypical autumn-leaves-bokeh shot, enjoy :)

This is on a bougainvillea plant in our garden, and I decided to do a more impressionistic look at the flower by using shallow depth of field.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope is a strange invention --

A Patent of the Heart --

In unremitting action

Yet never wearing out --

 

Of this electric Adjunct

Not anything is known

But its unique momentum

Embellish all we own --

I spent an hour or so at a favourite nature reserve this morning.

Despite the sun I saw no butterflies or dragonflies, but there were some pretty blooms in the cottage garden.

A few of the dried hydrangea flowers I photographed about a month ago are still clinging on!

 

Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images over the past week. I'm sorry I'm behind after a couple of busy days but look forward to catching up now :)
