A Torpedo I Found in Bouquet of Flowers

See what happens when you shoot @ f2.8? This was shot with a Canon 100mm stacked onto a Canon life-size converter for extremely high magnification. Shooting this at f2.8 gives this a razor depth of field (area that is in focus) and creates excellent bokeh (blurring of the background).

Bud, Bursting 2

Sometimes it pays to shoot wide open at f2.8. Not only does it accentuate the focus on the bud in the foreground, but it also creates nice bokeh in the background.
