“Sharp” Soft Focus

in Flower Macro

When I see flowers that look something like this, I always know I have found a good subject for macro photography — it is soft but has the potential to be sharp when photographed.

Soft

So the next time you are in the backyard or among the bushes, keep an eye on this type of flowers. They can really make macro photography a joy to indulge in.

It’s just a word play, ettey. But, like I said, it’s a soft, cotton-like flower but when you shoot it in macro, it can appear very sharp that you can even make out the tiny threads.
