Here’s a scene from the nature preserve that plays with depth of field (the amount of blur in a photo) to bring some color into a photo that’s almost abstract. The lily pads are floating on the pond as it reflects the tall grasses from the other side, and the scene is shot through the nearby grasses as they fade from summer’s green to fall’s brown. This photo is on my wall.

October 30, 2010. Nikon D90 (DX sensor), 105mm Nikon macro lens (35mm equivalent: 155mm), f/4, 1/1,600, ISO 640.
