Re-Birth

Today was my(Scott) first day back with a camera. Thanks to Shayne and his giving heart. It was really cloudy and dark today, but i just had to get outside and try to shoot something.


This photograph is of the fruit of a Sweet Gum tree. They are pretty prominent here, and blanket the ground with these prickley looking things. Funny though how they are called sweet gum, but I wouldnt place that thing anywhere near my mouth.

I positioned my self about 20 yards back and zoomed in with my 75-300mm lens. It gave me a really nice bokeh behind the image. The only post-editing i did was desaturate the image a little bit, while boasting the greens slightly. I also added a tiny vignette, as you can tell.

Man it feels great to be back out there!!!

Thanks!!

Bokeh is where you blur certain depths of field.
