The bokeh in this picture with that lens is outstanding! What lens did you use?

Thanks Jeff. It's my Nikkor 55-300 VR. I've only taken it off the camera twice and that was for the food contest.

Saw some new life growing out of the rocks on my morning walk. Bring on Spring.

One of the shots I grabbed at the Lincoln Park Flower Show while I was in Chicago. I have plenty more from there and the Chicago Botanic Gardens, so expect updates.

First Bloomer in the garden!

Went to lock up the chooks for the night, and noticed these Blue Bells (?) in a corner of the garden.

Taken with the 18-55 kit lens.

Tulips!

Was thinking the exposure could come up a bit and the tulip is a little bit out of focus; other than that it's OK.

Did more practice shots, in jpeg to force myself to get better colors and detail as-shot

Spring has sprung!

There were tons of wasps around this one...some of the first "wild flowers" I have seen this year and it is already April...I hope the showers bring the flowers and the tornadoes don't wipe them away you all...

If we had a flower contest going this week this would be my entry...

Took this long ago with a 100-300 zoom with close focus in a marsh. The flowers themselves were in a spot of bright mid-day sunlight shining through the bush, while the background was in shade. So I underexposed quite a bit (I think at least -1.5 to -2.0 stops) and rendered the background entirely dark. Since the flowers were yellow and reflected so much light, it helped even more. So there was no photoshop work done to this, this was as it was actually shot.



This was taken in a dining room and I put a black background behind the flowers and again underexposed so this one was worked up a bit for that similar effect. These two remind me of flamenco dancers.

A couple of shots from a park last spring...still waiting for this spring. D7000 with 55-200 mm DX lens.
