Abstract Bloom

No digital manipulation, just in camera control. I obviously chose a fairly narrow DOF, i like the abstract sensibility it gives the image. This was a study of DOF, i was experimenting with the relationship between the in focus and the bokeh, as well as the bristels receding to abstraction. This was also a study in dynamic lighting, this was all natural sunset light.

20D
100mm macro
1/100sec, f/5.6, ISO 200

This is really cool. It is like a landscape in miniature.

Great abstract. I like the DOF you chose, the inner glow from the sunset light is just beautiful. Great eye, and I'd say your experiment was a great success. :toast:

wonderful lighting and colors. Great to see something so common in such a different light.
