Milkweed Shoot Through [Contest Finalists July 2005]
Uploaded: July 16, 2005 10:35:06
f5.6, 1/160, 70-300 at 135mm, tripod, remote release, cloudy 9am
Focused on a Common Milkweed's bloom at a distance of about 3 feet with a bunch of Black Eyed Susans very close to the lens. Shot wide open, this technique provides a man-made fog over the scene. The fog's color is the color of the objects being shot through.
