Featuring the tiny, close up
I went out this morning for some photography at the Botanical Gardens with my father. Part of the trip was about testing out my new 24-105mm lens. Ironically, my most favourite shot of the day came instead from my trusty 70-200mm. I like the colours, the backlighting as well as the framing of the shot. The foraging ant brought some action and life into the picture.
I have been having problems with my webhost for the last 3 days. After numerous emails and “fist-shaking” (including threatening to drop their services), they’ve finally got it fixed. Hope it stays fixed…
The above picture was also taken during my last trip to the Botanical Gardens more than a month ago. I really got to go out and take some new pictures soon!
Catching the appropriate lighting at the right time can be all that is needed sometimes for a nice picture. This lilac bloom was just so appropriately lit in the morning light when I took it… and for just a transient two to three minutes! I metered the exposure on the flower, throwing the background lake into underexposure on purpose so that the flower stands out apart from the rest of the frame.
