Beautiful! I'm dying to know how you managed to make the purple blurry in the third one and not the yellow. Some of the purple looks like it's closer to the camera. It's a great effect. I love the squared rock in the last one too.
It is closer! I try to find a bunch of flowers and then shoot through them. Hopefully i get a nice out of focus blur in the foreground. Lots of them don't come out very good. I often use manual focus and just twist through the focus snapping shots. On auto focus it sometimes has a hard time focusing and wont let me shoot. When there are a lot of flowers going back into the distance manual focus, and get some right up close in front of the lens and then focus back further. Some will turn out good!
Budget constraints mean I still only have my phone to shoot with and the auto focus gets in my way. It decides what to focus on and won't listen no matter how much I swear at it. I will add this to the list of tutorials for when I get the real camera!
That's one of the real differences with phones! Makes it harder to work with depth of field and focus. I have heard the newer phones are much better at it!
Because we have another rainy day after another rainy night, I love all colored photos - thank you for posting such beautiful flowers, Ross, which warm up my heart in these gray days :)
Yes we do! There are several kinds of native flowers every spring. These are not native but they look nice and were probably first planted years ago. I posted some of the native ones a while back but can't remember when exactly. ;)
Beautifully captured! Resteemed
Soooo! That's where the Wonderful votes must have come from! Yay! : )
Thank you so very much
My pleasure

My phone is fairly new. Maybe it's just operator error! ;)

Can you tap on it for a focus point?
It doesn't look like it. When I tap it just takes a picture.

I'm guessing it's not an iPhone? Doesn't it have focus spot placement thingee? lol

Thank you! I'm happy to oblige!
You're welcome, Ross, it was a pleasure to me :)
You have flowers at the beach??
Super cool... very pretty! I much rather wildflowers than the traditional beauties... :)

Maybe not wild but also not in a manicured garden, I love these shots
Thanks!
Most welcome
