Soft, Pink, Fluffy Sweetness

This is for my sweet mom! :)  Everything about it reminds me of her! The pink, the soft, dreamy fluffiness! She loves anything soft and pink! Our weeping cherry trees are blossoming now and it is the perfect time to capture them close-up! I’ve really been loving my extension tubes this spring. It’s so neat to be able to take a peek into the beginnings of spring!

For this shot, I used two of my extension tubes attached to my 50mm lens: the 36mm and the 20mm tubes. I set my aperture to f/4.5, shutter speed to 1/100 second and ISO to 100. I always set my ISO at 100 unless the shutter speed can’t be fast enough, then I’ll set it to 200 or 400.

I wanted a tiny bit of the frame to be in focus, with the petals becoming soft and fluffy, so I decided to put the focus on the stamen of the flower.  I love how it turned out!

Sweet Shot Day
