5th April 2014 - Explosion

I bought a bunch of flowers this morning and for my abstract today I have used my 70-200mm lens and zoomed out to 200mm with a long exposure at F/22. This is the first time I have tried this effect and I really like it.

Many thanks for all your great comments on yesterdays shots and especially my great tit getting Finlay's fur for his bed. It was on the Trending Page and this morning I was delighted to see it on the PP together with my curves shot. Many thanks for all your Favs which got it there.

Pam, this is terrific! Thanks for including how you did this too. Great idea to use the small aperture and create the need for slower shutter speed during the day.
