What's your fix? Here's mine ...

Kevin

I have this thing for shallow DoF on occassion.
What's your fix?

#1 - Weeds



#2 - Bougainvillea



#3 - More bougainvillea



#4 - If you look closely enough at the simple lemon tree, you may be surprised.



#5 - Dead leaves offset against a pleasant background



#6 - I have no idea - lol



#7 - just some sun hitting some leaves



#8 - a sort of lavender, I think?

I love the technique and achieve a similar effect using a centre spot diffuser, often concentrating on a single large bloom and using a large aperture. The effect is to give you a sharpish area in the centre and more of a diffused effect for the rest. Nice using a telephoto lens.
