Day 179 Love This Light

Monday, June 28 – I shot this one on a “pouring rain” day. I used to say there was nothing to shoot when it was raining out. I just finished a class that made me realize that I had beautiful diffused light in my dining room whenever those skies clouded up for rain. When I realized that it was going to be one of those weeks, I headed to the grocery store and loaded up on flowers. This unusual colored mum worked well in that nice light. I used a soft gold reflector to get rid of some shadowing. It was Lensbaby time and I used my new soft focus optic along with the +4 and +10 macro filters. I have gotten brave and been moving the lens around a bit with that new optic so I had some selective focus somewhere besides in the middle. You start out by leaving it in the middle. It is a bit hard getting used to the soft focus optic, but I sure do love the ‘feel’ it gives the photos. My instructor told me that it is hard to do corner selective focus with the macros and that I nailed it here!! Nice praise coming from a Lensbaby expert.

    I love that the selective focus is not in the center. Gorgeous shot!
