Another August 22nd, another Daisy in tribute. New visitors to the site may not be aware, but August 22nd is 'Daisy Day', a little photographic memorial to my Grandmother who passed away on this day in 2011. The daisy was the flower that I most associated with her because we would pick them on the farm together when I was much younger. She was also a great fan of my photography and I take great joy in taking a nice photograph of a daisy when I see one because doing so reminds me of her. This particular photograph was taken at f/4, 1/400sec, ISO 400 at 60mm. As usual, the daisies were growing wild in front of a cement wall. By using the large aperture, I blurred out the grey cement background, creating a much nicer looking photograph by putting the flower that is at the bottom of the frame in full focus and having everything else behind it nice and soft. I hope that you like it Grammie.
