LICHEN END

[FUJI]

My title may sound like the name of a country Cottage, but it is the only one I could think of when shooting this beautiful lichen covered twig. I am always pleased to see Lichen growth like this beacuase is an accurate indicator of air quality.

I took this to demonstrate how excellent Depth of Field (DOF) can be obtained with a Micro Four Thirds Camera and 14-45 Kit Lens.....the trick is to extend the telephoto to its fullest, then focus very carefully.

 

Not quite the BOKEH of a 50-1.8 but very pleasing for all that?

 

This is my last post of 2014.

Yes, that's got good separation between subject and background. May I ask what aperture it was taken at? (You've not included EXIF data..)

The only thing wrong is my clock setting it should be AM not PM.... Blame that on my eyes when. Bought the camera, they were at their worst at that time. I will re set it.

Thanks Fuji. My new camera is also a M4/3 Lumix - it won't take other lenses, but it does go down to f1.7 at 24mm, and f2.8 at 75mm, so I should get some pretty good bokeh too  

 

Nice picture.

I just did - very good If I wanted to get that close, I might see if I could get a Raynox for the filter thread.
