3 Stages of a WildFlower

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image at my Home, Lehi UT.

We have lots of wildflowers on the mountain. I went for a stroll early in the morning and found this one.

I choose shallow depth of field and shot this handheld (with minimal wind)

Nikon D850, Sigma 150mm Macro

ISO 1250, f/4.5, 1/1600 sec

Manual Mode, Matrix Metering


Hope you like it.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks
Krishna

Very nice. Like the swallow depth if field and the stages of the flower.

[Colin Driscoll]

Very delicate. Maybe a little more DOF?

Sorry Krishna doesn't work for me. The title says three stages but the three stages are not in focus, you need a much smaller aperture. If you are serious about flower photography you may wish to consider taking a wind break with you, I can also recommend a tripod, it will slow you down and a consequence make you think more about came settings.

Thank you for all the comments.

What is a wind break ?

Thank you for all the comments.

Hi Krishna sorry for the long delay, my PC has been for repair and system reinstalled.
A windbreak is something portable like a couple of canes with a piece of material between them or possible you could use a light reflector to similar effect, even sometimes a camera bag can help.
