Wild Grass

Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 29 March 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I just shot this trying out my 55-200mm. Nothing special, its just the grass by the road side. Again, windy condition made focusing a hell for me. But guess - i got the shot!

@Jen: Haha... its funny, if i tell u how i took the shot.... waited for the wind to blow the grass and when it came back to its original position and before it got another wind blow, my finger went down, else for sure i would have had - a beautiful all blur pic.... And instead of "OOOO" i would have gone Ouch, shit, @$#%... LOL ;)

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Good shot Rahul, what were the wind blown ones like? sometimes a bit of motion blur can look fabulous as well.

@Richard_Irwin: The ones blown were really blur, almost nothing left to display brother... ;-)

Brittney from Cairns, Australia

Good contrast. I like the blur in the background.

The focus on the central reddish frond is superb. What gorgeously full colours.

Lydia from Ottawa, Canada

This photo has a very nice soft feel to it, kind of breezy, very fresh spring-like colours. Nice picture!

@Lydia: Thanks Lydia, i felt the same too after seeing the result. Although it was a hot sunny day and no sign of rain anywhere near hehehe :)

Tempting Lisa from Canberra, Australia

That was a very good shot, Rahul. :-) I know what you mean with the windy condition. It makes you feel like you want to hold of to the stalks/branches/leaves just so you get a good shot. Done that. hehe.

@Tempting Lisa: Haha... Lisa you got it right LOL. And when the wind ruins it, then its just @#$@# after such long focusing and trying hard ;-)

Evie from Fairfax, VA, United States

Very nice. The color contrasts between the foreground and background work well.
