N is for... Isolation Alphabet

N is for Native Flowers.

Fujifilm X-T2. 18-55mm lens. Tripod. Remotely triggered with iPhone app.
f/8 - 1.3sec - ISO 320 - 35mm
Window light.

I’d like a much larger space to get a greater distance between the flowers and the backdrop and the camera and the flowers. I’d like to retain the depth of field to have the flowers in focus but the background dropped right out of focus. But I’m isolating in a two bedroom bunker (with two others) so I have to make do with what I have.

N is for Nearly a Nude shot. Now that I’ve got the phone and camera talking to each other it’s a lot easier to take a selfie. When Lockdown started I decided to take a selfie in every room of the house (except the littlest one). It’s a small two bedroom flat so there aren’t a lot of rooms. I had a few ideas for the bathroom but really wanted to see what the steam would do. I like the misty, soft focus effect, although once the lens steamed up it was like heavy fog! I liked the movement in the towel in this shot.

f/3.6 - 1/50sec - ISO 640 - 18mm
