~ just having some mimosa marco fun ~
I have always liked marco photography and back at the beginning of the month I took the leap and purchased a 60mm, f/2 marco. Ilove, sleep with it under my pillow, really like it! I wanted a f/2 to allow for the fabulous blurred background. Only problem is when I open up to f/2 and get inches away from my subject, the result is a pinhole size focal point and many photos looking completely out of focus.
The other night, I happened upon the neon pink, soft feather like blooms of a mimosa tree. I switched to the new marco lens and in force of habit opened up to f/2. When I reviewed my photos I was very disappointed, all the shots, while looking quite interesting, were a blurred mess. So last evening after work I went back to the scene of the crime. I closed down to f/9 and like magic I captured the effect I had in my mind.
So this month I Clicked it Up a Notch by closing it down!

Fantastic selective focus and bokeh.
You should have saved it for the 4th of July-- looks like fireworks!
Very, pretty!
This is gorgeous! Now I will need to research what a mimosa tree looks like :)
It does look like fireworks! Very cool photo.
Spectacular shot! Love the colours!
Wow!! This is amazing Trish!! I love the colors and the clarity but still the nice blurry background!!! Here is an awesome tutorial my friend Megan wrote about how she shoots with her macro. You were spot on with the f/9!! http://www.clickinmoms.com/blog/?p=3810
