Variety of flowers with Velvet 56 and Sweet 50

Clipped a few from my husbands special zinnia garden and worked for few hours. Tried different settings with both lens and different movement with the Sweet 50. Trying to learn to focus better on the sweet spot but I am slow with that. Tried extreme blur. Lots of fun and good practice.

These are stunning shots, Sandy, and practice makes perfect, as they say! I love them all, and I love the blur. Beautiful colors, compositions and backgrounds. Something about that second shot that keeps bringing me back to it. So soft and dreamy, almost abstract. Just stunning! Love the B&W's too. Thanks for sharing your experiment.

Thank you Jane, for all the encouragement in your comments. #2 connects with me also. Almost to point of being "lost" but yet softness and what I saw as beauty, would not let me delete. Appreciate you!

Thank you friend! Would love to see you work with this lens. It is a great deal of fun. Some of the birds with the suet would be interesting for you to try. Esp. from your blind.

Thank you Mam! Was great fun shooting. Inside with a vase of flowers and for several hours. Bound to learn one of these days.
