Explosion of Color by Nikhil Bahl Flowers make for wonderful subjects. They come in so many different varieties of shape, size and color. I often find myself making abstract images of flowers by showing only part of the bloom. In this particular case I was really attracted to the colors of the Blue Poppy. Using a 300mm f/4 lens combined with a close-up filter allowed me to get the magnification needed. By getting really close and excluding some of the features that help identify the flower, the image became all about color. Equipment Used: Nikon D300, Nikkor 300mm f/4, Canon 500D close-up filter, 1/25 sec at f/8, ISO 560. Location: Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania USA |
