20090222 - Nearly Daffy

view map

For: Four Colour February

Hmmmm - went for a walk up and down Walden valley today - I seem to have found the cloudiest, most overcast bit of North Yorkshire - I could see the sun shining on West Burton and beyond, just not where I was :-(
These were in West Burton, took them when I got back after not really finding anything at all... but it was too dark so I had to cheat and use the porta-suns - with a bit of kitchen towel as a diffuser :)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/2.8 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very nice abstract-ish image.

The softness makes it almost abstract. Very pleasing for the eyes.

The image in my head of you taking every picture makes me smile as much as the image itself.

Gives us all hope for milder days - lovely. Chris
Doug Cruden22-Feb-2009 22:04
Well, it was worth it - this is a really beautiful photo, with a fantastically shallow DoF and lots of luscious greens...great work, Phil :o)

Thought they were cucumbers from the 'thumbnail' - you don't half go to a lot of trouble on your shots.
Linda Willets22-Feb-2009 21:45
well done, our sky was cloudy this morning.
Guest 22-Feb-2009 21:07

Guest 22-Feb-2009 21:03

Nice!

Do you think the portasuns will help them bloom more quickly? Lovely unusual daff image, and excellent bokeh.
Johnny JAG22-Feb-2009 19:09
Good job you took some kitchen towel!
Ann...22-Feb-2009 18:47
