I have not been playing with my DSLR for quite some time...just very busy with stuff and today, I just wanna share some of the beautiful sights that I am lucky to have capture through the close up lens. I am not able to indentify the insect at the moment but once I get its name, I will update here for your information. The beautiful part is how it camouflaged itself on the bud which is about to bloom in a day's time. Color is almost the same as the petals of the bud. I find it most exciting and in awe at how great our God is. Love this picture much even though it might not be a prize winning picture but it shows me an insight on how the insect can camouflage itself so well. If not for the close-up lens I would have missed this beautiful sight :) My main intention was to take a close up pic of the flower bud . Texture of the petal is clearly captured and the fine hairs at the base of the bud too. I am still playing with the Depth Of Field (DOF) - ( the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera ) I hope my photography has improved since I took up this hobby :) I have all the mentors who have been with me through out this journey :) the constant lecturing and tutoring to thank for. Without them I would not have any knowledge of photography. I know I have still a long way to go but the distance is shorter by the day :)
I purposely set it to have a blur background which
photographer called it swallow depth of field
see how well it camouflages itself on the flower bud
The awesomeness of God is shown here :)
