Photo of the Day: Flower


Photo of the Day: Flower, originally uploaded by BCMielke.

I was talking to friend the other day who loves to do macros with his older prosumer lens. He was mentioning how I have fallen for this selective focus type stuff that just doesn't grab his attention. As most that follow this blog know I have bought into selective focus big time. I love my lensbaby and I am also thinking of a tilt/shift lens to add to my collection.

For him though he just doesn't like the look. Until this conversation I had forgotten about taking macros with my LX3. The smaller sensor gives quite a bit of depth of field even at F/4. This is different than a DSLR would. I can also close focus this camera a few cm from the subject.

With those thoughts in my mind I set about capturing the Photo of the Day. I hope you enjoy it.

Captured with the Panasonic LX3 and converted in Photoshop CS3 from the RAW file.
