2/26/08 - Tulip

A low key image of tulips in a row. Aperture wide open and focused on the 2nd tulip in the row.
Going for arty here. If you shoot with the aperture stopped down instead of open you'll get all of the tulips more or less in focus. Then the question becomes where is the viewer supposed to look? Don't put the entire row in focus; use selective focus and show the viewers exactly where you want them to look. Their eyes/brains will take care of the rest.

Nikon D300
1/15s f/3.2 at 105.0mm iso200 full exif

I love this one, Ed ... the selective focus makes this a VERY special photo ... V
