These days I have to work really hard to find beauty around me. School is kicking my booty and I am having to study like crazy. But I am trying. Its been fun the last couple of weeks to see all of the flowers blooming in our backyard. We moved into this house in July last year so all of the flowers were gone. There have been so many. Here's one that is incredibly beautiful just outside the back door. I decided to play with different aperture settings.
Lately, the lower the f number the better. But I am realizing that it might not always be the best setting. The one above is F2.8. I like it, but the edges of the flower are really sharp. The following picture is F5.6 and overall, its a lot better. The edges on the flower are a lot shaper. I still like the drama of the strong small focal field and the blurred background.
In other news, there might be redemption for my birthday. We are planning on going on an overnight canoeing trip this weekend. We are going to leave on Saturday afternoon and camp somewhere along the river. It sounds like so much fun and very much needed. I am SO tired and burnt out from school. Our friends Jennifer and David are coming too so even better. Hopefully, we will get some cool shots.
