Bird of Paradise against the Boats<\/p>\n

An alternative view of the Bird of Paradise bloom, this time framed against boats in the marina, taken at a longer focal length from further back to isolate the bloom and turn the boats into interesting bokeh. Late afternoon light on the plant brought out the orange of the petals in particular.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 250mm equivalent. F5 at 1\/250th @ ISO 80. Programmed auto.<\/p>\n

Added Clarity and just a bit of Vibrance in Lightroom. Blackpoint slightly right. Sharpen landscape preset.<\/p>\n

From San Diego 2010.<\/p>\n

And here is an image taken from the same spot, using a wider lens setting (95mm equivalent @ f4). As you can see, the boats become more sharply focused and battle a bit with the blooms in the foreground, but I still see it as an interesting shot, and as a contrast to the longer\/closer shot above. Processing similar to above.<\/p>\n
