| | Enveloped in red........
My family took a little hike in a nearby canyon yesterday. The leaves are just starting to change, so we have some yellows, some oranges, and in this particular canyon, lots of reds!!!
This is one of the few places where there are maples in our area....and their red leaves send me...
I don't often use my 50mm prime lens, but my focus of this hike was to get myself to see within it's parameters. I tend to prefer to take wider angle shots, or macro shots, or macro wide angle shots. Since my prime lens is more middle-of the-road in terms of focal distance and the angle what it sees (it isn't a wide angle by any means) I tend not to pull it out often. Where it excels though, is picture quality (being a prime lens, there isn't as much glass to reflect through, and the images are really sharp and clear) and that it allows lots of light to come through- (f 1.6) giving great exposures even in lower light. (and since I prefer to shoot in natural light, this is a big plus)
Still, I couldn't help pulling out the 70-300 mm lens for macros. (the soft effect here is from shallow depth of field - (less than f4)-combined with shooting through leaves in front of the subject, very close to my lens. So there are leaves in front of, and behind the subject that are thrown out of focus.
(same technique as 2 photos above)
Cool, clear water....ahhhhhhh!
