Natures Bokeh

The perfect bokeh is said to have smooth edges of the images outside the depth of field. In researching this technique I came across the simplest and best explanation at Ken Rockwell.com. There are also varies sites on how to do this technique digitally but I am trying my hand at it using only the camera’s setting and my talent  luck. So with that said here is natures bokeh. Let me know what you think.

A Little Bit Of Yellow

I have a difficult time with capturing the color yellow. Red is not much better but I took this a few weeks ago and thought I would share one of my better efforts. A red Zinnia with a little bit of yellow.

My SX260 Is Back Home Again

After a dear friend was relived of her camera, by her youngest daughter for summer travels, I lent her my new Canon SX260 HS back in May. I had not taken very many pics with it but knew my friend, who has a photography problem like myself, needed it more than I. Her youngest daughter is back from seeing the world. The last pictures taken with this camera by my friend was of her other daughter as she returned from Afghanistan. I hope it served you well!

Now that it is back in fold I will, over the next few weeks, hopefully l get to know it and see what it can do. Until then here a few with the camera on full auto.

I have never seen this insect before and it bugs me.
I think this is a Zinnia.
No idea what it is other than flower. I just liked the way the light dances across it.
