This photograph is from my visit to Nepal. Photo by Fatema Mustafa Alitook this photo while riding a bus in Cambodia. This woman sitting in front of me slipped her hands above her head to rest atop her chair. I was mesmerized by her age worn hands and her contrasting gold wedding ring. Not the lowest aperture I could've used but I am pretty happy with the depth of field I achieved. Shutter Speed:1/80 second Aperture:F/4.5 Focal Length:70 mm ISO Speed:400. Photo by York SylvesteDewy blades of grass which I took early this morning. Focal Length - 5.1mm, f/2.8, 1/800s.

Photo by Paul JohnYou go out for a hike and notice that all the classic large open areas don't exist where you decided to camp. So of course it's time to get a closer look at things. Photo by Alex BlagusThis photo was taken with a Nikon D80 at an f/5.6 aperture and processed with Photoshop Elements 10. This is my cousin's dog Mickey. Photo by Stephen MihopulosWhile sitting on a park bench looking through the lens at potential shots, I zoomed in on this branch, when I focused on the leaves I was pleased to see the background disappear, so just had to capture the shot. I simply call it “Autumn”. Photo by PaulTesting my new manual Vintage Minolta Rokkor-X MC 50mm F/1.4 Camera Lens on my Nikon D90. Low light condition. Photo by Mourad DACHRAOUI."Worlds Apart" This shot was taken at Canary Wharf next to Canada Tower (2nd tallest building in Europe). The area is iconic as the heart beat for London's financial district. The photo hopefully demonstrates two worlds: 1. The hard and cold world of business and finance, where things at the moment are rarely in focus and clear cut. 2. The colourful and organic world of flowers and plants, where things are balanced, vibrant and more in focus. I think the lady's face as she walks by with her headphones plugged in adds a nice sobering touch to the divide. Photo by Ed NeumannPicture with a shallow depth of field taken with a nikon d7000 and a nikon 85mm 1.4 af-s. Photo by Espen HøydalsvikPhoto by UrszulaI just went into the garden and shot some photos with my 25-year-old 50mm lens on my Pentax K-r. It has a brilliant light sensitivity and creates a great DOF. I chose to go with this picture of a rhododendron flower. Photo by Robbert Vervuurt.Photo by ArunIn this shot, the settings were made to shorten the depth of field to heads of the bulls. The rest of the body is blurred due to very narrow depth of field. Photo by Uttam Saxena.Photo by Francisco ReisLife is about to focus on key things rather than all. Photo by kunal KothariPhoto by Girish JainThis was taken last Friday afternoon when my son noticed the snake sunning himself in the bushes in front of our bay window.

This weeks photo challenge was SuperHeros, although there were not as many photos as normal there are still some good ones in there. Remember that Mothers day is this weekend, which is also our next photo challenge. Enjoy.
I took this photo on Valentines day down at the Occupy The London Stick Exchange camp at St. Pauls'. Without wanting to get all political I think every single person who was down there protesting was a hero in their own right. With the photo, I wanted to emphasise how bright and colourful the central figures clothes were in comparison to the rushing workers and onlookers, in addition, to his laid back approach (cup of tea in hand lol) ; all juxtaposed by his surroundings (it was a very dull cloudy day too).

This past week’s photo challenge was “Transformation” take a look at the great photos by the Snapsort community. Your next photo challenge is “Superheroes”, find out more info at the bottom of this page.
Here's a picture from my trip last weekend to the Porsche Museum (Stuttgart, Germany). It shows how the Porsche 911 has transformed throughout the years, some would argue that it has not transformed as the current model retains the same basic design from the original 911. Photo by David RaesideEach spring, we have to contend with gazillions of maple seeds falling into the ground. They grow everywhere and anywhere. Unchecked, this seedling will be a tree sooner than one thinks. Photo by Imelda SantoreMy 1st thought was to take the snap from ant's view. Then I thought of the bird's eye, which gave me this firework flower. Photo by Praseed NairTransformation is destiny. It is a journey of a seed transforming in a plant, tree, wood, coal and finally to ash and gases. Similar happens with human body in Hindu rituals. A journey to unknown destinations.

This is picture was taken in the early morning in the tulip garden my husband had planted. Photo by Michelle EricsonPhoto by Satish ChandraTransformation of Money from Coins to Paper to Plastic.. whats next? Photo by Shubh VashishtDandelion by Philip DavisYou may see yourself as a limited physical being, but Dragonfly serves as a reminder that you can transform into much more than you are now. Dragonflies begin life as wingless "nymphs" that live underwater in ponds and slow-moving streams. For a period of one to six years, the dragonfly nymph will "molt" (shed its skin) repeatedly - up to 15 times - until finally it emerges as a mature dragonfly with full wings. Photo by Shival SharmaI don't know how common 'whitebells' are, but I found them interesting to photograph. As well as the bud to bloom of the flower. Photo by Josh Blomfield
