A blog circle of photographers from all over the world, both amateur and professional alike, sharing their interpretations of a common theme. At the bottom of each post, click the link for the next photographer until you come full circle, back here to my blog.

"f/16"

The f-stop of a picture, in a large part, has to do with how much of the picture is in focus. It can also give you some really cool effects of light. I particularly like when I get a sunburst when the sun in incorporated in my compositions. It's very easy to do when my aperture is closed way down. F/16 is not way down, but it is still enough to get the effect I was looking for. I was really thinking of a nice sunrise, but the weather this week didn't really allow for that, but this morning we are actually seeing the sun. I tried to find a unique perspective to get a sunburst, while still holding on the warmth and beauty of the last days of summer. I won't be able to photograph these flowers much longer!

"small"

I walked outside to find something to use for this week's theme and actually found a few things that fit. Here are two. The first is really what I intended to use. The second is another shot that I took for a challenge in another photography group. I had so much response on the second shot that I figured I'd share it here as well.
