Floriade

September 22nd, 2009 chungerz Leave a comment Go to comments

On Saturday I took the family to the Floriade. It is in Canberra and took about 3 hours to get there. The children were asleep most of the journey.
I had the opportunity to really test out my Canon 50d with the 24-70mm L f2.8 lens. I was surprised at the bokeh that I was getting even though the lens was not wide open. I was also pleased with the vivid colours of the photos and really brought out the different flowers seen at the show. Click here for the photo slideshow.

    Wow.

    Those photos are rather magnificant! You’re camera gets really the finest details!

    I personally love your use of focus in most of your shots. You always seem to focus on the minute things, rather than what you’d expect the focus to be on (such as the railing, not the Opera House, and the single bud, not the bed of flowers behind it). It’s very…interesting to look at each little thing individually. Makes you wonder how much of the finer details we really miss in our day-to-day lives.
