Photo A Day – Weeds Are A Beautiful Thing
Sometimes weeds can be beautiful things. Plain and simple. I guess I knew that already from the frequency in which I photograph dandelions, but today was a good reminder. Camera in hand, I headed out to the backyard late in the day. Low sun, long shadows, good bokeh. I added a slight vignette in Photoshop on this image and boosted the curves just a little, but mostly I left it as is. Taken with my Nikon D40X, 50mm, f./1.8, 1/200 sec, ISO speed 400. The photos below are just more bokeh fun from today’s shoot.
