It’s that time of year. I can get out take some photos and start sharing them with you.
I have a new camera for this year. It is the Canon Rebel XS. The camera came with a 15-55mm lens and I purchased the 75-300mm lens.
The standard lens is great in eliminating camera shake with a digital stabilization feature. I was concerned with that and how it would work on the higher power lens. Basically I needed a good test subject using the camera with the larger lens without a tripod.
Generally a new blossom close up wouldn’t be hard to achieve. This photo was taken with the 75-300mm lens set on 300mm and at a distance of about 40ft. I had to turn auto focus off obviously because the camera was not going to focus on those little blossoms by itself. As an overall test of the stabilization feature – I would say it is just as effective with either lens. Thats a good thing to know. I have a tripod but I don’t like to use it.
The photo below is the entire picture reduced by 75%.
Your picture reminds me of the one I took while in a deer stand with my husband hog hunting the last day of February. I took a picture of raindrops on a branch and the background was fuzzy…Looks like you have you a really nice camera and I look forward to seeing your beautiful pictures in the woods. Take care my friend and have a nice week. Marian
