In Focus

winterberryholly

This is for my friend, Holly.  She doesn’t like my out of focus pictures so this is a compromise: some holly berries are in focus, some are not.

I aim to please.

Well, OK, pipe down.  Some of the time, that is exactly what I am trying to do.

She’s having a bad time so figured this would make her laugh as well.

  1. You’ve got some snow there too. :) Although I’m starving now and it looks like sugar on berries.
    Going to grab something from our sweet drawer. :D

  2. We only received a “dusting”, Palpinao…not even an inch! But, it’s very cold.

    I don’t think you can eat these berries, Mt. Brooks. Particularly, is you are not a foodie.

    HJ…Ha! Good one, right?! Wishing you well, of course.

  3. That shot is gorgeous, Pat. I love it.

    I just bought a macro lens for the first time… I plan to take some shots that i’ve never taken before.

    (sidebar: before I hit ‘submit comment,’ I re-read my comment. It’s a good thing… because I had written “take some shits that i’ve never taken” in error. That would mean a WHOLE different thing.)

  4. Like all great portrait photos, the focus is on the Big Cheese berries in the front and the blur belongs to the supporting cast.

    I really like the cool simplicity.
    So how much snow has to fall to keep you from heading out into the early, pre-dawn morning to shoot something in pan mode while driving backwards?
    Just wondering……..
    Do you have snow tires..?
