Iris Bud f/29 and Blossom f/3.0 – Pt. Reyes National Seashore
Bird Goddess and Prayer Candles – herchurch
Photo insights: The Iris bud was photographed using lots of depth of field (f/29) so that sharpness could be obtained pretty much throughout the image. But for the blossom I chose a shallow depth-of-field to emphasize just a portion of a petal and the dew drops on it (f/3.0). More depth of field would have also brought the background somewhat into focus rendering it very busy and distracting. PS – “Chinese Houses” is the common name of a wildflower.
The Bird Goddess (made by artist Annette Wagner) standing behind the prayer candles was photographed with my iPhone and tweaked first in the Snapseed Ap and then the Old Time Photograph Ap.
Yes, I celebrate both the resurrection of the Christ-Sophia and the rebirth of the Goddess! See in these images how they are part of the same love story…
