Clover 4

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 21 May 2008 in Plant & Nature.

Last in a series of 4 photos of a clover with increasing depth of field.

I will be away for several days, so will be unable to post comments.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Hmm... I guess I've gotta disagree with the previous comments... I preferred the third one... It was nice and soft...

Very pretty, but this is my least favorite - I like the lower DoF of the others that makes the image stand out (in my mind). It is interesting that some of the comments above disagree with me on this! - I guess everyone has their own opinion!!

The trend didn't go on. I prefer the Clover 3. Both give the idea of a star exploding, but in the Clover 3 the flower fills a little bit less of the frame, the image being more balanced and the dof is at the point.

I never before realized that clover was so intricate ... maybe because I've never seen a macro image of it! The whole series had a kaleidoscope-esque feel to it ... very cool!

I've tried going back and choosing a winner from these but I like them all in equal measure!

Anita, I like this one the best of the series because of the detail and the extra color.
