Zane - Apple Blossom


This photo is at the closest I could shoot with the lowest F stop at 4.8 to be able to see the detail of the blossom - which is only one inch in diameter. My intention was to maximize sensitivity, using the ISO 800 while maintaining close detail. The histogram is evenly distributed over white and the RGB spectrum.

I like the white and the stillness white speaks to. The blurred background provides a canvas for the white to stand out - though there may be a but too much white in the background. The branch grounds the blossom growing up from the left corner.

The background could have been more varied in colors; though the day was gray, so the tendency was toward that grey.


Camera settings: ISO 800, F/4.5, shutter 1/2000 s
