Daisy Do

July 18, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Square format photograph of a sunlit daisy blossom backed by smooth bokeh and soft focus.

Daisy Do — 35mm | f/1.4 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/6400

I’ve been having plenty of fun making photographs of my daisies this year. To close out the month of June I put down my macro lens and went with the 35mm aperture set wide open at f/1.4 to keep the depth of field as shallow as possible. By getting my lens as close as possible to the daisy in the foreground—the flower in focus—I was able to facilitate a scene where the area of acceptable focus was roughly one quarter of an inch think. At most. This helps deliver the buttery smooth bokeh that predominates the shot—both the out of focus elements as well as the array of blended circular features milling about the square format exposure.
