Wondering around the beach at low tides, I found this orange sea hibiscus on the sand. In a bid of experimenting and to unwind from a mental block, I did something I very rarely do. Go for a shallow depth of field at F1.8 just to see the effect. Only a shallow area is in focus while the rest are blurred. Practice makes perfect I think so I will practice more such settings in the future.
Meanwhile I am spending more time cycling rather than photographing nowadays. Recovering from sickness and building stamina slowly for longer rides takes a bit of time. I will reach East Coast Park one of these days on my rickety mountain bike. I wonder how much a good mountain bike cost these days, hmm?
I’m still trying to wean myself off of the automatic settings! lol
I guarantee once you have weaned off from automatic settings, you never wish for that button again!
