Coming Up
This week in SSC:

Focus


Eye test: Can you tell which bunch of daffodills I was focusing on? If not, you might need to get your eyes checked. ;-)

The great thing about daffodils is that you only have to plant them once. Then every year they will be coming up!


For Sight and Sound:

Excellent use of shallow DoF! The in- focus- area in front also makes for a good diagonal composition!

Yes, they show themselves faithfully and well-behaved every year,
when the ground warms up.
Wonderful with the sharpness and blur, Karen.

Great focus and great use of shallow depth-of-field, Karen. A lovely photograph. A spot-on match for 'Sight and Sound' too. Not heard this one for a while...a goodie!

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

FABULOUS!! I just love this picture. For me, the entirety of a plant's life, from sprouting to death, is full of fabulous photo opportunities. Just like this one! This is wonderful. Your focus is perfect!

Happy SSC!

The best time of the year: the fresh green after a grey and cold winter time.
So fine focussed daffodills.

That is obscene. Two snowflakes and then it is time for daffodils to spring up. Aargh. We won't have clear ground until summer. Nice shot though.

Karen's Place club has replied to Puchinpappy club
Lol. :))

You have no idea how much I've been suffering with this cold weather. It's all relative I guess. Thanks, Pappy.

Daffodils? What daffodils? I love how you chose to focus on the right group instead of everything. Yes, that's one great thing about daffodils - set them and forget them.
