Asters

Backgrounds with some character now possible with FX format. Two Asters (I moved one closer and aligned the center for managing DOF) photographed this morning.

LARGE VERSION <--- Link to Large Version.

ND810, AFS105mm F/2.8 Micronikkor, F/5.6, 1/500 Sec, ISO200, Tripod and Diffuser.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Dahlia and let me know what you think of this one.

I really love that movement in the BG Ram. The colors and point of focus are excellent. I really like the way that you were able to line up the centers.

What do you mean by: "Backgrounds with some character now possible with FX format."?

[Ram] --> for the same view in DX, this is a much smaller magnification because the sensor is smaller. That means for the same view DX will give more Depth of Field and that messes up the background.

I like the artsy feel of the two flowers and and the color palette, Ram. The bokeh also adds interesting lines to the image.

I can't recall an image that ever captured a sense of motion like this one does. Looks like two flowers dancing, with others on the dance floor behind them. Outstanding work, or, rather, art, Ram.

Great job doing something original with this one - I love the feeling of motion.

Hi Ram

I told you FX is another world

Especially getting better BG's, with less DOF.........Shooting at f/5.6 makes the BG look so beautiful in this image.. agree with Scott about the feeling of looking at dancers.. delightful and creative work

Ram: Great decisions and execution. I do sometimes long for the shallower DOF of a full frame sensor. 2 thumbs up. >=))>
