January 6: A Matter of Focus

Rancho Bernardo, CA

We had a gorgeous day on Thursday, and I found myself attracted to these tall palms in a neighbor's yard. A straight shot seemed dull, but I thought this approach had a touch of appeal.

View in Original to really understand what I was trying to do.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
1/1250s f/9.0 at 120.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Playing with that DO huh ;) I was expecting a SP :)

Your approach, palm trees, blue skies, and warm weather are definitely appealing to me Robin. Nice work Dougie

Amazing how in the first I can't even see the branch, and as you defocus waala.

Nice branch ?

Backfocus - or frontfocus - can't make up my mind :-)

Nice to see you branching out! Is this 'AF' or did you just use 'AF' ?

palm-a-rama-tastic!

Very creative study.

Fascinating! You went out on a limb to get this collage. Nice to see you branching out and using other lenses more often. Don't leaf the DO in your camera case so much!

Nice presentation of what that lens can do Robin. Great job.
