Week #4 - Bonsai
by Dale R. Palmer

My $95 bonsai from last year didn't make it. It had to go indoors and outdoors depending on the weather. This new $45 bonsai is a totally indoor plant so it has a better chance of survival. LOL

Low light in the room and a desired depth of field drove me to ISO 1600 which looks pretty good to me.

Hope this one makes it for you. It's an attractive plant. The yellow makes the red leaves pop, but it also reflects off the pot. Difficult shot.

The pot is 6 inches by 8 inches and 3 inches deep. The total height of the plant is 18 inches.

Nice job with lighting and the background. It's a nice little bonsai. Hope it survives the winter! :)

What a sweet little tree! I love the plaited trunk. Nicely lit, and nice job shooting it, Dale. I like the bright yellow for background and the nice DOF you used for good sharpness throughout.

It is about one foot high.
