timsdd aka Tim's Digital Darkroom

This was an experiment that ended in a completely different manner from what I had intended.
The result is very close to what I had envisioned, the lights, colors, shapes, etc.

What I did not expect….DIRTY LENS! wow. I think it’s b/c I used a small aperture, the smallest and that’s why every nook, dust particle, and spot showed up! You know what, it’s the opposite, LARGE aperture, F/1.4….I am wondering if it’s a dirty lens for the imperfections in the lights themselves. Never mind me thinking out loud!

Clearly I am left with more questions than answers! Something that bears revisiting I can see already :-)

Christmas Lights, Canon 50 mm – F/1.4, depth of field, DOF,  shallow depth of field,  vivid colors, circles, out of focus, selective focus

Loving the fact that it is no longer 108°F! I think even the 100° days are over and done with by and large….woo-hoo! Now we just need some rain!!! (large time)

Went for a little scouting trip for photos on Sunday. I am going to be shooting a senior session @ this park and wanted to make sure it was viable even though I had been there last year. A few things caught my eye and what better lens to have with me than my Canon 50mm 1.4!

DOF:30!

…For thy bokeh and thy shallow DOF protect me!!

Behind our house we have a little drainage alley, fun to explore from time to time; and it’s nice having a buffer zone between us and the back neighbors.

F/4 actually :O one or two of the others might be f/2 but you didn’t hear that from me!
