\"Plum\"

Plum<\/p><\/div>\n

I took many exposures of this flowering plum against the backdrop of the terraced vineyard, attempting to get the right balance of subject focus and out of focus background. I wanted enough detail in the vineyard so the viewer could identify the context, and so that the terraced vines created an interesting pattern…without distracting from the showy blossoms. This one of several that I like…the most close-up, with the most emphasis on the blossoms. There are other’s around it in the gallery with different effects.<\/p>\n

For this series I used Program Shift<\/em>, to select the smallest aperture available, for maximum depth of field. At the longer focal length used in this shot, that is still not much. The H50 has image sensor shift image stabilization<\/em>, which makes exposures at the slow shutter speed that resulted from the Program Shift possible without a tripod. I love it.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at an approximate equiv. focal length of 250mm. F8.0 @ 1\/30 @ ISO 100. Programed Auto with program shift for max. aperture.<\/p>\n
