Photos: summer assortment

[aletheiafelinea]

Totally assorted bunch from 6 June to 11 July. Also, should I put a mature content warning this time? ^^


Southern Poland, as usual. Most outdoor, some not.



Uh, well, a rose.



Uh, well, a clover.



Uh, well, a ladybird. Because I haven’t brought you a hundred of them already… What can I say, they’re just there. *g*



And this is a bug probably of the family Lygaeidae. Though it’s a rather big ‘probably’. But of the ‘bug’ part I’m sure!



And this… is mostly about light. ^^ The church was mostly deserted, and the organist had a little fun time, and he/she was pretty good at this. Enough to keep me in a pew until they finished. I recorded a little, but my camera mostly butchered it, leaving out low tones entirely… *sigh*



That’s the sum of my summer for now. At least in some chosen pictures. :)

wow! Those are just beautiful pictures! Does the camera use the blur automatically?

You mean the backgrounds, right? :) I don't use the camera's 'special effects' software and don't add blur afterwards (unless cleaning of noise counts). It's just the physics, or optics, to be precise. Macro photos have a very shallow focus (especially that I used additional lenses in most of these), which results in strongly blurred backgrounds. Great on one hand, because of the artistic effect, and frustrating as hell on the other, because of, well, depth of focal field that is extremely difficult to handle, especially outdoor and in hurry. It's matter of millimeters in time of seconds and all by hand, so luck has a lot to do with these photos...

My stupid Portuguese ISP is not at all sure about Deviant Art and wouldn't show me everything. But the pics I did see are fabulous and make me think I must, must, must make time to get more adventurous with my new camera. But real life sadly gets in the way - all the time. Your flower pictures are stunning.

Yes, yes, yes! :)

But real life sadly gets in the way - all the time.
*sighs* *nods* I know how it is...

Stunning as usual! Those Longhorn beetles are beautifully caught (or should I say embarrassingly!*g*). And the flowers are wonderful.

I hope they didn't mind. Though I haven't told them I'm going to broadcast them all over the Net. *g*
