These were in Dunwich forest, the foxgloves were a magical sight but difficult to capture with the same sense of wonder

I was looking for something for tomorrow's daily theme "close-up" and I came across the images from last July (these are in same album but from August) when I was playing with a ring-flash on a macro-lens.

Cosmos in the rain (through the window) at F 5.0  followed by the window itself.  The Cosmos was in a plant pot - maybe 18" from the window.

It was a 100-400 F4.5-5.6 so F5 counts as wide-open.

From last Thursday - wide open at F8 - but it is a 600 mm lens (long end of zoom)

and singing as already posted elsewhere.

Modern optics are rather good.  Shame this lens does not return focus distance, but it was at the top of a tree.

Love the bokeh you get at longer focal length

Managed to get close enough to this little fella, the background got wiped out completely

from June 21st, 2024 ... Blues Night at the Winnipeg Jazz Festival ... the guitarist, Brent Parkin, is
a Canadian blues legend from Winnipeg ... the last time(s) I took snaps of him, he was playing with 
Otis Rush and Bo Diddley in the 1986-87 era ...

Cheers,

Jack

Taken at full aperture (F4.5) the other day when looking at trees/shade

Fiddled in Lightroom briefly - just for fun - using select subject mask, invert and reducing exposure but compensating a bit by increasing whites. I was surprised how little of the picture it judged to be in focus - basically the main cow-parsley floret.

I like the first one better. Feels very real to me.
