(Day 131) - Water Crown with a Touch of Bokeh

So a bit more experimenting with water drops today. I changed my focus and aperture a bit to see what results I could get and was super surprised by the bits of bokeh captured in this water crown...actually I was more happy that I actually captured the crown clearly! :D

Thanks for the awesome comments on my water photos this week. Still can't believe I pulled this off as I was having another off week. I'm keeping myself committed to completing this year's project!

This is one photo I don't have the patience to try but you have gotten some awesome results here! You are the only photographer I know that can have such spectacular photos on an off week!

[Sue Hecker]

Love the reflection! Very nice and a fav.

[Chris Johnson]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - Thanks! Took me about 200 shots. I was surprised, usually it takes me a lot more, like 700 or so.

[Mallory]

So cool! Love it.

[Chris Johnson]

@olivetreeann I really had to drag myself to setup and take the shot but since I really wanted a crown for my water week I did it! It was actually a fun break from all the other issues going on. Haha. Thanks very much Ann!

You seem to be doing quite well for having an off week!

@gardenfolk @grammyn @taffy @jyokota @cruiser

Thank you all for your concern. It's been some rough months to say the least. Went through some personal problems that made it hard to take photos. By like CC Folk said, the break did help recharge my creativity. I missed you all and sorry for not checking in sooner. :)

[Junko Y]

@cjphoto -- SO glad to see you checking in -- I've been worried about you! Take care, and know there are many of us looking forward to you feeling up to taking and posting photos again.

[Taffy]

@cjphoto Hope life is improving for you. You are missed!
