Bud and bokeh
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
Los Angeles, California. There are many things in bloom Inside the labyrinth that is Robert Irwin’s Central Garden at The Getty Center. I shot this plant hoping that the colorful blur behind it might be as or more interesting than the plant.
For those of you who are interested in such things, note that this was taken with the long end of a Canon 24-70 lens. Yes, there’s a difference between "closeup" and "macro" but for many flower shots like this, closeup is enough. Great lens, flexible, fast, wonderful color and bokeh.
great green color, lovely bokeh. Today I found one 5D here in lithuania one guy selling he want 1500 usd, only 8000 actions + battery grip, looks like price are going down.
hi richard-
thank you so much for continuing to post your beautiful photographs of the natural world. so much of what I see and read these days is too painful to look at.

Gedas: Just wait until the new one comes out, then the price should go down more. Patience…
Sheryl: Sorry, I’ve been shooting but not the kind of stuff I can post here. I’ll get back to it soon… I have tons of shots to post. Thanks, great to hear from you.
Richard, yes think the same. But maybe my choice will be 5D mark2, I don’t know yet, but time will tell.
the green bud against that rose-red background bokeh…fabulous!
Thanks Will. It’s fun to set up shots with that kind of contrast in mind.
