Greenery

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 13 May 2008 in Plant & Nature.

I experimented with the flash exposure compensation function on my camera over the weekend, and came up with some interesting results, like this one! Finally I found a decent use for my pop-up flash!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Tse Min from Melbourne, Australia

nice! looks like the flash did a good job in evenly distributing the light, rather than concentrating on one spot.

Peter from Antwerp, Belgium

Nice. The drops add interest to the shot.

Some would comment on the lack of focus in the foreground, others the shallow dof.... I REALLY love it as it is! To me these "shortcomings" are what really make this a feast for the eyes. Great colour, depth, and focus point. Excellent!

@amy: I like it as well Amy, I think A wider DoF would make it less special. Also, when my pop-up comes up, the camera automatically switches to the widest apeture. Need to dig out my instruction manual and see whats going on!
