The other day I needed to get the tripod out to take some pictures for my other blog, and while I had it out I decided to play around with some macro shots. My husband bought me this gorgeous bouquet from the farmer’s market for my birthday, full of dahlias and statice, and I experimented with getting up as close as I possibly could on certain flowers. Interestingly, my favorite image out of the whole bunch was cropped out of a shot where I had focused on one statice flower, leaving the background a gorgeous blur of color.
