Still discovering about light and focus. I'm not happy if the image is not sharp and in poor light, it doesn't happen. Introducing light gradually gave me more of an idea.

[Caryn]

Very pretty light. I like the soft focus.

[8yearson]

I like how the edges of the vase blur into the background, a nice experiment with pleasing results!

[Maggiemae]

@alceyone I tried all sorts of angles which also meant a struggle getting up off the floor, Anne!

[Maggiemae]

@jackie8 Thank you Jackie - I think so many of the photos we see here would look magnificent on the wall!

nicely done Maggie

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie In the middle of the night, Yvonne, I thought about doing this instead of having a lightbox!

[Maggiemae]

@digitalrn @daisy @brillomick I put a bedside light on the floor of the darkened hall in an effort to replace a lightbox which I don't have but think its a good idea!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Very nicely done Maggiemae! Love the softness and I think the light is beautiful!!

@brillomick well at least we get some exercise out of it, Mickey! I would rather shoot these sort of photos than go to an fitness class!

[tony gig]

Beautiful Maggie.

[bmnorthernlight]

[Gillian]

Nice idea. Lovely soft focus and processing. Good that you're learning more about your camera, Maggie. I'm trying to do the same, slowly - very slowly!

[Emma Durnford]

I think the lighting looks deliberately soft-focus, romantic style :-)
