We have 21 different varieties of thistles growing in the midlands of South Carolina. Will have to wait for this one to bloom to properly identify it, but I'm willing to bet it's Nutall's Thistle because it's almost as tall as I am and the buds match the photos on the ID site! I left it to grow and didn't mow it down - just to see what I'd get. =)
Gorgeous shot. Do you enhance the blurriness of the background or the sharpness of the subject in post processing? Or is this as rendered by the camera?
Anyhow! You master that focus!
@monikozi In macro mode on my camera, it's a center spot focus which pretty much softens or blurs everything else but one small block. I can move the camera a bit after the sensors focus, but not very much or the sensors lose focus and the whole thing will be blurry.
@wakelys Thanks, Susan!
@milestonevisualmedia 365 has taught me to not dismiss anything - not the smallest little weed or the largest in this case. =)
@sherimiya Thank you, Sheri!
