I am not a big fan of blueberries, but this photo looks delicious! The color is exquisite and the detail is amazing. The depth of field and perspective complete this stunning photograph. Thank you for sharing Ruthie!

I love how soft and dreamy this photo is! The color, the depth of field and the texture work together to create a lovely, ethereal feel. Thank you for linking up Maboe!

My photo for this week of a rapidly deteriorating Spring. A few weeks ago the flowers had begun to bloom and I was looking forward to some Spring photos. However, I only had time to take a few photos. Now, many of the flowers are beginning to fall and turn. I hope they last until this weekend when I hope to have another free moment. I have throughly enjoyed experiencing the seasons in a different way through photography and I don't want to miss out on Spring! This photo is of our camellia bush outside the house. I did a clean edit with Lightroom to brighten the colors.
Settings: ISO 200, 50mm, ss1/500, f/1.8 (sunlight wb)
Intent: The hidden feel of this flower
"It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done." - Matthew Arnold

ReplyDeleteHi Emily...I received this error message when I tried linking my 2nd photo for this week: "This link already exists for this Thumbnail Linky Lists. Duplicate entries for the same list are not allowed. If your link is not showing, this might be a moderated list and the link has not been approved yet. If you have further questions, contact the blog owner." This happened because my blog URL didn't change from last week's post to this week and unfortunately I can't change the URL. Not sure if anyone else ran into this hiccup but I thought you should know. I did post a 2nd on my page though just incase.
