Could not resist and made a few more shots for the DP Photo Challenge.
Photos captured with a Olympus E-M10. Macro lens 60mm 1:2.8
Rule of Thirds is this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge. Composing the subject off-center, obeying the Rule.
“The Rule of Thirds is a photography concept that puts the subject of the photograph off-center, which usually results in blank space in the rest of the image. If you focus closely on your subject and use a wide aperture, your photograph’s background will also be beautifully blurred in that blank space. The blurred area behind your focal point is referred to as bokeh, and when executed well, it adds depth and artistry to an otherwise simplistic photograph.”

Thank you, Carl! I wish I were right! The plants get carried away with a bit of sun, but the temps are still low.

Me ha impresionado las yemas del Acer, en nuestro jardín tenemos uno, pero las yemas aún están más pequeñas y menos visibles.
Me encantan también los brotes de orquídea, quizás por tener una que está en las mismas condiciones, aunque he tratado de sacarla con el fondo con bokeh, pero con la cámara compacta no lo he conseguido, seguramente por no haber sabido hacerlo.
Buena semana, Lucile.

Me alegro de que te guste las fotos. Adoro el Acer y orquídeas. Ellos son mis preferencias. Ten go un objetivo macro para tener la boukeh. ¿Qué teléfono tienes? Compre la cámara plus aplicación ya que hay un objetivo macro allí también.
Buena Semana.
Abrazos.

Lucile, tengo simplemente la cámara compacta, y el teléfono tiene también cámara, pero no es nada actual. Soy bastante poco caprichosa con estas cosas, aunque tengo cada vez más afición por hacer fotos con tanto reto en los que intento participar, y no sé si terminaré con una cámara más completa, aunque son tan grandes las Nikon…
Un abrazo.

Mariangeles, la cámara compacta hace fotos impresionantes. si quieres una más profesional que no es pesado y demasiado caro, busque sin espejo. Sony y Olympus son los mejores. Yo uso una Olympus.
Abrazos.

That’s ok. We ate not made equals. So perceptions also differ.
Not everyone likes me or what I do either.
The key point is to not take their opinions personally.
