Flower and Bee

I took this photo few days ago in river side. I have no idea what is this flower, but looks beautiful.

Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Flower and bee
Date: 8th of August, 2017

Camera: Canon PowerShot G15
Shot: 1/1600 sec. f/2.8 30.5mm ISO 80

Editing: Sharpening, highlights, cropping.

Here is the same photo, but tighter crop.

This is also last summer month here in North Finland, so the summer is soon over.

Flowers and Shadow

I ended up to take this kind of photo accidentally. When taking photo and using the flash in the camera the shadow is always behind the object. My wife took few photos about these flowers and I gave her some extra light from the side and saw big shadow.

Then I played with the light a bit more. In this photo I had a light on table and it's upward to flowers making huge visible shadow above the flowers. Then I took the photo normally on the front of the flowers without flash, so the shadow is in the "wrong" place.

The light-shadow combination is quite interesting or what do you think?

Flower and Walking Bridge

I wanted to play with depth of field and here is one photo. I set the camera to the ground and I had to use articulating screen, that I can focus to the correct place.

Place:  Tornio, Finland
Photo: Flower and Walking Bridge
Date:   24th of August, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: EF50mm f/1.8 STM
Shot: 1/200 sec. f/14 50mm ISO100

Editing: Little bit cropping and sharpening

EF50mm lens is easy and good to use, when you want play with depth of field. For moving object the lens is totally to slow.
