Once upon a time I wanted to be a bird photographer. I thought it would be a wonderful way to observe the world around me. My big problem was that I wasn\'t very good at photographing birds; I was much better it turns out at photographing people. The other bird photo I\'ve posted here was taken with a $125 lens. This one was taken with a $20 lens. I\'ve posted both these shots here to help show that technique is more important then equipment.
To some, these marks may seem high...but it is the final output that is the result...this is a beautiful image subdued by a soft blur that gives this painterly piece an other wordly feel...the bits of yellow flower and the green grass are a beautiful frame for an almost ghost like image...very beautiful
