Softly...


Softly..., originally uploaded by shianghan27.

Hi everyone! this is my new blog, and its going to be about the photos i take, which i theorise, could represent me in some way or another.. Anyway, I hope you'll like to look at my photos, as much as I do.. haha.. thanks for visiting and come back soon for more ya!!

This is a flower in my girl friend's garden.. Been wanting to take a photo of this flower for a few months now but didn't have the equipment to do so.. So when I got my new 70-300mm VR and the Canon 500D close Up Filter it was time to test it out to see if it could create the image I envisaged for quite a while!!

Well, I must say it did come out very nicely although my initial thought was that it wasn't good enough.. Subsequently, looking at this photo more and more I thought it turned out better and better..

I titled this one "Softy" because of the selective focusing on the yellow stamen on the left, and everything else is just soft due to the Bokeh (which is great!!).. haha.. with the colours nicely blending in to create what you see..

Taken with Nikon D40 + 70-300mm VR + Canon 500D
