Spring (almost)

[Ken Rennie]

I was going to go out taking landscape images but the forecast was for solid blue skies all day instead went for pancakes for breakfast and photographed some of the garden flowers when the sun had burned the overnight frost away. I also went for an afternoon cycle which was terrific despite the temperature in the low 40F. Ken

Both images focus stacked with a slight breeze.

Lopsided crocus.

Beautiful work Ken. Do you use a fast aperatue to keep the background OOF? I need to try this when we get some flowers.

I think about f5 Ben even if I loose a little sharpness due to poor depth of field I prefer the soft oof areas. Ken

Sweet shots - especially the crocus with the raindrops. Nice backlighting on the daffodils.

Looks like a smart choice Ken, the flowers look great and I am sure the pancakes tasted great!
