Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: Chicory Stamen

2 pictures and 1 note above! Looking around for subjects to practice on, I noticed that there were still some beautiful Chicory blossoms in bloom and I instantly thought, "STAMENS!!!!!" You can see that the dof is very thin and in truth, needs to be more in the f/11 range to include that whole stamen. Still, I am delighted at the clarity and detail here!

2 pictures and 1 note above! When I took both Chicory pictures, there was a slight breeze and I was holding the camera and used manual focus. All of these factors have impacted the clarity of this picture, but still, it's not bad. It is amazing working with such a razor-thin dof. I would move my camera slightly closer and then backwards, taking a picture as soon as I felt the focus was right. VERY HARD to keep anything in focus for more than a split second!
