The colours of winter

[LaFoto]

And here are some more recent photos, taken at a time when there even was a tiny bit of snow on the ground:

(The blue background actually was snow covered lawn in the shade, while these berries were in the sun)

And which of these two do you prefer?

Very nice LaPhoto!
I love the first and third.

Not enough depth of field in #2 and #3

 

[LaFoto]

That's the result of my attempts of getting very close to what I want to photograph, therefore putting my fully extended 300mm lense into the macro mode (where it only goes when it is extended to between 200mm and 300mm) - which reduces DOF to some 2 mm or so. I could have played round with shutter speeds, but I have to get what I can get while out on walks with hubby, and he NEVER waits for me! (He doesn't take photos himself).

But the color is my favourite!Beautiful!

Thanks, and beleive me: the droplet is absolutely in focus on the print (they do suffer soooo in the scanning process, my photos do... too bad. Just too bad )

Love the crop & color in that third one.

No.3 is actually a new photo altogether, no crop out of No.2.

 

[photobug]

Ah, my mistake.

hay! LAFoto! Lower Saxony isn't far far from my homeland so why you have so many colors and sun there?!?!?! envy!!!

beautiful, sharper would be nice but well done as is I like #3

Mentos: those red berries are about the only colours you can find these days - and sunny days are rare, too (my latest film -grey, grey, grey [!!!] - hasn't been developed as yet - those photos will be UTTERLY boring!).

Debbie Lynn, the print is as sharp as you would like to see the picture, but a scan from the print does suffer sooooo much (much to my own dismay, I can tell you).

I loved the first shot
