photo friday. four.

This week's goal, as requested by my brother Joe, was larger depth of field. No close-ups. No bokeh.

Hmph. :pout: Ok, fine.

Sorry, Joe. That's all I've got. It was harder than I thought! I'll keep working at it and revisit it again sometime soon.

I did try lots of other new things this week, though. Two new reflections:
 (I love reflections!)
And I really need to clean my car mirrors.

Some new perspectives, with the camera and in editing:

Can you guess what this is?

Does this help?
 New lavender buds! We're so excited.

And, I'm sorry, but how can I refrain from using a shallow depth of field when I've got metallic beetles on one of the weeds in my yard? They would have been lost at any aperture above 2.0. So cool.


And last, my favorite. A little sun flare, a little haze, a little black and white. . . I just keep staring at this one. Love it.

Have a great weekend everyone!
