Heat

Hot and humid summer in Vermont.
I wanted to have more grass in focus and less blur in the background but my attempts were not as good as I wanted.

J'aime la composition. Joli Vermont

[Mark St Clair]

I love this because I also have to work with all the heat in Florida! Your efforts are noticed

[Polly]

I can feel the heat, the blurring creates an atmosphere.

[Diana]

It sure looks hot but what a beautiful shot and scene.

[Carole Sandford]

There is definitely a heat shimmer there! Lovely scene.

[Korcsog Károly]

I like it!

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Looks like steam - very nice

[Mags]

Looks good to me! =)

[Jane Pittenger]

Do you know about hyperfocal distance for focusing?

[Kerry McCarthy]

@jgpittenger Just googled it. Interesting, I wasn't aware of how to calculate this.

[Kerry McCarthy]

A good shot nonetheless!

[Tia]

Love the composition. And the foreground focus is perfect.

You conjure up the heatwave well in your photo. Hope you're not suffocating...

[Phil Howcroft]

I think you did OK Corinne

[Yao RL]

The red house Just added more heat.

[Kathy]

I like the way you displayed the waviness of humidity on a hot day in this scene.

[Corinne C]

@jgpittenger I don't know about this concept. I'll have to research it. I guess it would have helped me here?

[LManning (Laura)]

I quite like the result.

[Shutterbug]

Nice focus on the foreground.

[KWind]

Beautiful! Love your focus/dof.

[Jane Pittenger]

@corinnec yes, absolutely. I think you can find information easily but let me know if you need help

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful. I love your focus on the wild flowers.

[Christina]

Love this shot

[Rob Z]

But it does give that heat haze effect...

[Valerie Chesney]

Shimmering heat in this capture.

[Steve Chappell]

Great way to capture the effect

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very pretty capture.

[Juan B.]

We’ve here hot and humid summers. Great photo. Part of the blurry might be for the heat haze.

[Paula Fontanini]

HOT here too! This is beautifully captured...love it!

[Corinne C]

@jgpittenger Thanks again Jane. I opened my Bryan Peterson book on Aperture and I learned about hyperfocal distance. I'll have to practice now. I really appreciate your comments on technique, it really helps me.

[Renee Salamon]

Fabulous ‘steamy’ focus

[Jane Pittenger]

@corinnec glad you aren’t offended
