Dreaming
by Craig Strand
Another visit to the Tulip fields this morning and eager to try Nathan Buck's "Cram-it" technique after reviewing his article. I decided to shoot using my long 600mm lens, surely more artillery then one usually selects to shoot a few flowers but I like the short DOF and OOF watercolor like effects the lens can achieve.
I find this has a "dreaming" effect, shooting over/thru a row of pink tulips and focusing on the dew covered yellow bloom and bud. I like the OOF BG flowers, the red was a bit distracting and slightly desaturated. About 15% cropped off the bottom.
"Thank you, Nathan!"
