Hearts!

Just playing around with Conversation Hearts, my macro lens, and tripod! Trying to work on my focus, depth of field and light all at the same time!
And I stuck with the theme, too... both vertical and horizontal shots!


1st pic: Aperture Priority mode. ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/125
2nd pic: AP mode. ISO 400, f/2.5, 1/500
3rd pic: AP mode, ISO 400, f/2.5, 1/500

Any feedback is appreciated!! Thanks for stopping by!

Love how you filled the frame in the first shot...very cool.

You know...I was thinking about something. I'm not a selective color fan normally, but something about that first shot would make a good candidate for it. Having the whole pic BnW, except for one heart. What do you think?

I really like the 2nd shot, and I'm so glad you posted your settings. Can really see what a difference the aperture setting makes for the DOF. I like how the 2nd seems to be in focus more in the foreground as well, compared to the 3rd vertical photo, which is less in focus in the foreground.

I like the second one best. Nice DOF.

Very cool. You do realize that you can recycle the 2nd and 3rd and use them for the "Love" challenge, right? LOL. Love the colors in these.

I love the way you set up that second shot with the focus on the one heart. Very cool. I was playing with shots of these hearts today too, and I'm going to try (ok, steal) your idea. :-)Great colors in these too!

I really need to pick up some conversation hearts. They may be nasty candy, but are obviously good photo subjects. I too am a fan of the second photo. Great DOF.
