A horse hamming it up for the camera

Whooper Swan. I think this a one majestic looking creature.

That's it for today. Tomorrow we'll be back to my favorite stuff. Aircraft!
 
Good evening, Guyzerr.

The sunflowers, horse, and waxwing look like paintings rather than pictures. How did you accomplish that?

Yikes... Paintings ? Double yikes! I'll show you paintings. Just wait and see. :humm:

I dunno. I point the camera, choose my settings and push the buttons. It's the light angle I guess.

You might be getting that impression because of the bokeh. What's bokeh she axes? Well, bokeh in plain English is blurring the background via adjusting the f stop setting. When you do that it brings the subject to the forefront and one isn't distracted by the background. Many people that are not up to speed think that is incorrect but it isn't. It's actually the correct way to do it unless you want to see the background. Ie: In this picture you don't want bokeh because the number of boats in the marina is what makes the joint look busy. You want to be able to see it all. If it were blurred that would suck.

That is one busy picture!

I thought about the blurred background before you said anything. I do like that look. As you stated, the object is the complete subject then.

It's nice to know I still " have it" . Convincing gals used to be quite easy when I was younger. :sarcasm

I was going to go to the zoo yesterday but I got sidetracked so I'll post some aircraft shots for those that like 'em as much as I do.

Well do a series on these amazing pilots today....
