At long last, the final installment of my flower photos for the week. Sick of them yet? Probably are. Don’t worry, there will be a bunch of new stuff for you to peruse next week. I guarantee it! [This is not a real guarantee.]
I guess of all the cool and neat things I got out of that Sunday intro session was the concept of Shallow Depth of Field [aka Bokeh]. I’m not sure I’m in any capacity to explain this concept to you [it's 3:40 in the morning, and I'm not great at explaining these technical things], so I’ll let Wikipedia explain it for me. [Ok, if you're lazy like me, you probably wouldn't click through. Bokeh means pretty blurriness in the background 
] Combined with all the other things I learned that day [backgrounding, exposure, lighting, manual focusing, and so many others], this photo here exhibits all of that to the best of my abilities. Yes. This was my favourite shot from the entire day of shooting, and I hope you feel the same too.
In case you’re wondering, yes, I will probably be taking more classes from David Allen. Not until the spring, unfortunately, but that’s the way the flowers bloom, I guess. And yea, I’ll probably be checking out his site pretty often. It’s a good source of pretty pictures.
Until next week!
Nice photos! I agree the last is awfully nice. I haven’t heard of these indoor gardens- are they any good? Keep having fun with the camera!
