Soul Dr. Loc: Beautiful Shenandoah Valley

Here are some images I got from an early morning visit at the Augusta Springs Wetlands, last Sunday.
Most everything had dew on it. Which made for some interesting captures.
It was mostly cloudy with some sun occasionally peaking through, which made for some nice lighting.
Please enjoy and please do the downloads for better viewing.
I might post some more in another post.

Thanks for looking. I used my Fuji X-T30 with the 50-230mm lens. Most shots were taken at f 6.7 aperture, some at f 11. The way to get nice blurred backgrounds, is to get close to subject with the lens at it's longest zoom. Of course larger apertures will make creamier blurred backgrounds than smaller ones.
The aperture size to use, really depends on how much dof you want on the subject.
