PESO: Forsythia

We are in the middle of the coldest spring in a decade, with a record low for this date. Temperatures are below freezing, heightened by cold winds and overcast skies, with occasional freezing rain and passing snow squalls. Spring indeed. The weather seems to have slowed the daffodils and other

Spring can be like that. Day before yesterday I had to turn on the AC. Today I'm back to wearing a sweater & a coat around the house. On 3/23/2020 11:27:28, Paul Sorenson wrote: Very nice.  Forsythia is often the first splash of spring color we see. OTOH, we woke up to 2 inches of snow on the

Thanks, Paul. We are just south of the rain/snow line here, so we have chilly and wet weather, but no snow. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 11:28 AM Paul Sorenson wrote: > Very nice. Forsythia is often the

Very nice.  Forsythia is often the first splash of spring color we see.  OTOH, we woke up to 2 inches of snow on the ground this morning. :-( -p On 3/23/2020 8:57 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: A sure sign of spring here is the flowering of the forsythia, This one is in my back yard:

"What if you zoomed in tightly and shot the densest part of the bush with a fairly large DOF, to get the flowers and colors without the background?" I tried. The result was not pleasing, but rather dull. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 9:31

Re: PESO: Forsythia

Thanks again, Dan. This is a very colorful, nicely rendered photo, but the covered pool showing through at the bottom detracts. One of the problems shooting forsythia is background control. The bushes are very colorful, but not very dense. I dealt with that in "Tree Hugger" by using the tree

After Rick W's great image showing how beautiful Forsythia can be (Tree Hugger PESO), I decided I had to try again to get a decent shot of mine. It is not as effective as Rick's, but probably the best I have been able to get of this very difficult shrub to capture:

Thanks Frank. The point of this shot was to frame the out of focus fountain with the forsythia branch. I'm not sure how well it works, but the placement of the fountain as an out of focus element is intentional. Paul On Apr 24, 2008, at 10:31 AM, frank theriault wrote: On Wed, Apr 23, 2008

Hi, Jens. While I do like this, it seems the slightest bit blown out. I'd be trying to darken it a little followed by a nudge of contrast. You may have a better idea or completely disagree. In any case, it's yours and your presentation choice is the right one. Jack --- Jens Bladt [EMAIL
