12th June 2014 - Backlit beauty

Another shot of my one poppy!! You must all think I am mad getting excited over one flower!! This is going to be the first of many I hope. It is a perfect morning for taking flower shots - no breeze!! Lovely!!

Uploaded for my extras album
Just beautiful, love how you can see the crinkles in the petals and the black background sets it off perfectly. Fav. Ps How did you get the black background, I don't seem to be able to do this!!!!

@paulaw Thanks Paula. I am shooting into the sun and the background is dark green which looks almost black. I always check my backgorunds and make sure I use a shallow dof to throw it out of focus. Check my exif info for my settings. Taken with my 100mm macro lens which I love. You don't always have to take macro shots with it.

I think one should experiment with just one subject to learn - perhaps all good - perhaps more needed!

An instant fav Pam, such beautiful light and shallow DoF! I love my 100mm lens too.

Beautiful shot! I love the way you used the light and created this image of a so fragile looking poppy. As for poppy shots, I love using them as well. Such lovely flowers!
