Ah, here we are, Round Robin time again! This week's topic, "Focus on the Details," comes to us from Tammie Jean of Long Drives To Nowhere.
Now, if I were a really serious photographer with a serious camera that I really knew how to use, I could set the focal length so that some foreground object is in focus and the background is all fuzzy, or vice versa. I don't know how to do that, though, so let's just fake it in editing:
My friend's sweater was across the room. I selected the non-sweater bits and blurred, and sharpened the sweater bits. Eh.
On to something more interesting. I've photographed this plant several times before, but tonight I caught it at the perfect time for interesting patterns of light and shadow. Even at a distance, the details are interesting. But let's get closer:
Ah. Cool. Closer still:
Yes, I like that. Is that focused and detailed enough for you? Nah, let's take it a step closer:
I can't decide what these leaves resemble more, corn stalks or green bananas!
I have some more detailed experiments, but I'll save them for tomorrow night.
Now go see what the other Robins are up to!

I really like the shadows a lot. :)
Great job of focusing on the details -- I like the way you got closer and closer to the plant.
I like the way the plant gets more interesting the closer you get. Becomes more abstract, just the details :-)
I like the sweater with the depth of field you created. Reminds me, I should do an entry on that as it's not hard at all to do in camera.
Oh that second picture with the shadows is particularly neat. I like this idea of zooming in.
As details I would have taken one hair on the sweater and a cute little spider on the plant ! But your pictures are very nice anyway !
I love the light and shadow you've captured in the plant, and it did get even more interesting as you got closer and closer. Nice photos!
I really enjoyed both entries on details...you did a very creative job! And our cat loves very similar plants as well...lol.
Nice job!
