chasing the light…
Oh, how I love chasing the evening light (yes, for all who know me certainly not the morning light-except in Molokai, Dewitt!).
There were a few apple blossoms on a little tree growing wild in woods near our lake home and I just couldn’t playing with the light one evening.
And, I couldn’t resist the dogwoods at our local garden park. I don’t believe it’s common to have dogwoods in Minnesota, so what a treat! Photos of them coming soon!

Tell me what camera you use? I have a high end Canon Powershot and the ability to get the foreground sharp and background fuzzy is hit and miss as far as I am concerned. It looks so great. How far are the backgrounds from the subject?

Hi Janet,
I shot these with a Canon 7D and Tamron 28-75mm at f/2.8, AV mode, at 75mm. The background that isn’t sky was about 10 feet away. Shooting into the setting sun light also adds to the beautiful bokeh (blurred background).
Happy shooting!
Michelle
