dandelion

[Peter McCullough]

Shot this at my rear garden today, hand-held at 50 iso. Hard to manually focus on this subject to be honest. Used a Canon 5D Mk1 with a Samyang 35mm f/1.4 (manual focus) lens, I also used my recent purchase of a Canon EF 12mm MkII extender tube to get closer.

Shot @ f2

I think the DOF/soft focus effect works well for this subject Peter - very dreamy quality to the shot

Love the OOF green starburst on the left, balancing the dandelion on the right

 

[Pete Askew]

I agree, it works very well and does indeed have a dreamy look to it.

Love it. My favourite flower, beautifully captured.

I like it , the more DOF , the better for me - not really into bokeh
