Lovely creamy bokeh and fantastic subject isolation you've got their John![]()
Think they are referred to as stink bugs but that doesn't seem to deter the boys and to be fair they haven't been squirted.....yet
Lens wide open --
This is my second attempt at this particular painting in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. I used a Canon 50mm f/1.8 Nifty Fifty prime and pedestrian zoom. You are allowed to take any photographs you like but no flash and no tripod. It still isn't perfect so next time I will take a monopod with me and see if I can get it a bit straighter. I was using a Canon EOS 1000D, it is lighter than the 40D, the camera was set on Program AE, One Shot AF, Auto WB and the shutter was 1/30 sec with Aperture of F/1.8. ISO is 400.
Very nice and creative, Robin
Nice Grub and Lighthouse - creative, yes!
