Well, as one who is always at the shallow end of the pool I had to "go deep" for the challenge and, wouldn't you know it...I don't think I got one decent image or one decent bit of inspiration all weekend.
I made some gorgeous bird photographs (but they don't count!) and some of the best images of clematis I feel I've ever done (all at the shallow end of the aperture pool.) So, here I am...
What to do?
Here's my answer to the challenge - a head on image of a pile of peonies I made Friday while strolling through Powell Gardens.
I am RUNNING back to f4 now and praying that we're never separated again! Oh, f4...how I missed you!!! :D:):D
Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 macro (2.8! Who doesn't love f/2.8?!!!)
f22 @ 1/30th, ISO 200
Manual mode, pattern metering, sunny WB, handheld
Processing: Slight crop and sharpening, contrast adjustment, added vibrance.
