I was looking through my archives to find something that I have some mixed feelings about and therefore never shared with anyone.
Fargesia murieliae
It was shot with a Nikon D300, 300 f2.8 Vr+1,7tc, f/7.1, 1/30, iso 280, tripod, Full frame (no crop)
I worry about the depth of field here, what are your thoughts? I think at the time I was prioritizing the smoothness of the background, but today I'm uncertain about this choice.
This is from April 1st 2009 so after the winter the foliage of this bamboo isn't as pristine as it could be. I feel that this detracts a bit from the image, on the other hand for every year that passes, for some reason I feel more at home with decay and dead leafs
.
I of course welcome all comments and suggestions! Please, feel free to be as though as you like.
