Firework

[David Mitchell]

I am just going through some of my original photos I took in the summer and then tweek them in lightroom a bit to correct white balance etc so I can get the image how I want it. This was taken back in the summer when I got my D3100 and was learning about DoF, the flower looks like a firework going off

What a beautiful flower!

 

[David Mitchell]

Thanks Adam, I have no clue what it is lol I was just taking test shots around my back garden, I like this shot as it helped me learn about depth of field vs aperture.

Very nicely observed and captured, David.

Nice separation from the background David. Looking forward to more.

Agreed!

Something like this with a longer shutter speed on a slightly windy day?

 

[Pete Askew]

Good idea - give it a go.

I'm the same David, a flower is a flower to me, I don't know species or anything. It's a green flower / pink flower etc lol

I don't even get that far ... We have some nice things in out garden, really pretty big white things ... I thought they were flowers... Nope, seems they are weeds ... Who knew?

Funny, I've got some nice white things in my front garden too. It seems they are called 'old washing machines'! They flower all year round!
