I have never experienced such a cold, wet, gray spring as far as I can remember. The flowers in southern Oregon are almost a month behind but as they begin to appear some are showing to be a bumper crop. Such is the case with the lupine in the Shasta Valley. Last week I managed one clear morning (too clear, but not complaining) that wasn't also windy. There's nothing quite like back lit lupine in my estimation. As the sun was rising I shot a bunch of similar compositions, but I think this is turning out to be my favorite so far. This is a blend of four different exposure values for dynamic range and two focal points for dof. I really like achieving infinite depth of field in close foreground images like this.<br /> <br /> Canon 5DII, 16-35mm f/2.8 L, polarizer, four exposures 1/4 to 1/15 second @ f/16, ISO 200, two focal points near 22mm</p> Fri, 27 May 2011 08:53:24 -0700 2011-05-24T06:08:45-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Sean Bagshaw) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5765442576 Searching For Spring <p>I'm sure everyone in the NW is getting burned out on the depressing weather.
