A session without much luck i came across these poppies, at the lost gardens of Heligan. It was the light rather than the flowers themselves. This is were i would love a seriously good wide aperture lens, which in reality is far to expensive for me to acquire.
Plus the camera I have with a 4/3 sensor does not help. This may well be partly why I enjoy longer focal lengths helping to create a shallower depth of field. I put tubes on the 75mm f1.8 and 25mm f1.4, to create something different than what otherwise can be, with what I used. Still not certain of the end result, but some things do appear to have worked.

Liking the comps and DOF OF #2 and #3 Julian

Enough in focus to tell the story, and enough out of focus to really add to the mood

Thanks Chris I would though, love to try a .95 lens, or faster, I'll dream on.

Wonderful stuff Julian. I like the abstract nature of the first and last especially. Very painting-like.

Very nice set Julian, I especially like number 1. The detail and composition is just superb.

Thanks Pete, well I would never claim to be a photographer, i would claim to be a not very good painter A bit overwhelmed by this new posh site.
