Bluebonnets


No spring landscape series would be complete without a field of bluebonnets enhanced by some very narrow depth of field. It’s a “classic” shot and very simple to pull off. All you need is wide open aperture which provides very narrow DOF, a very fast shutter speed to stop the flower’s movement and a circular polarizer to saturate the beautiful colors.



Just a typical spring afternoon in the Texas Hill Country.
