Movement in Pink



Hello everyone. I hope you guys are photographing your favorite flowers this spring season. They make great greeting cards. Experiment with low ISO to get shallow depth of field and in this example, some of the flowers are blurred. Set your camera to the macro setting to help you in creating this effect. The camera sometimes sees what the eye doesn't. Life is not static. Even a flower has movement, caused by a slight breeze. Observing nature is fascinating. Until next time, happy shooting!

Running Boy



Hey phototogs! On my way to see the cherry blossoms I saw this boy running. My camera was in hand, and I caught him in action. The Washington Monument provided a great background. The film camera used is a Leica M6 with 35mm F/2.5 lens. The film is Kodak Ektar 100. A film with good contrast and saturation. Film is still alive, it's got soul!
