Hydrangea in November
February 26, 2014
This dried flower was in the Schoepfle Garden November 3, 2013, waiting for me to practice a shallow depth-of-field camera setting on it.

This one is gorgeous, Linda. What I love so much is the blurred background, which almost looks like a pale soft rain, and sets off the hydrangea so nicely. 🙂

Thanks, Cathy. I must remember to use short depth of field more often (as BlueBrightly does).

Thanks for this link, Linda. I need to read it again, as I have read about this many times, but like it says in the article, practice is essential. That’s where I fall short. I too often rely on the auto settings. Thanks again. 🙂
