    Default Aspen Trees Blur

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I used my 100-400mm lens at ISO 100, 1/4sec. at f/6.3. I composed this image using the ROT as a guideline for the comp. This is straight out of camera. I see a couple of spots on the right side that I will probably tone down.

    Beautiful composition, Denise. Just enough blur makes it very pleasing. Love the trees and direction of the blurred foliage. Beautiful colors. TFS.

    Paul, I locked focus on the main tree trunk and moved my camera slightly. The 1/4 sec. helped with that.

    Denise, this is really nice and I love the direction and amount of the blur. I love the willowy look these birches have. You are the Queen of Blurs! :cool:

    Oops! I think you are right Denise. Don't know why I said birch. :o

    Hey Denise,
    You have me hooked on these! I think that besides the few brighter areas......the blur worked very well with just enough details in the aspens!

    Denise, this is gorgeous. Just the right amount of blur. Love the colors - it looks like a fine piece of silk.;)
