S36: Lilies Fading into ART

Challenge: Combine Three Previous Challenges Extra Credit: The Extra Credits

Lots to do with Camera Club Images to prepare and fish books to work on.
Couldn’t be bothered to think on how to combine 3 past challenges into one.
Fortunately had some lilies to play with.
Hence, kept the Challenge simple and went back to Fading into ART.

S37: Spot the Conundrum

Challenge: Single Focal Point Extra Credit: f/1.

On a sunny late afternoon, I looked around for an interesting subject in our garden.
Set my Lumix FZ1000 to the smallest single point focus available.
Also went for smallest available aperture of f2.8 in manual mode.
Tried a few things and finally settled for the image below.
Spot the Conundrum if you can.

S38: Geraniums on a Garden Chair

Challenge: A Chair Extra Credit: Tell a Story

Been meaning to photograph this chair with its unusual sitter for some time now.
So, I was pleased to see that last week's challenge was “A chair”.
Just moved it to a different location for the photo shoot.
Running out of time with fish book submissions, image posting got delayed.
Minimal post processing, as usual!

S39: Five Sunflowers to Brighten Our Day

Challenge: Use a Tripod Extra Credit: Create a Composite

I haven’t found the inclination lately, to go out hunting for images in our local London parks.
Currently, having a break from compiling Aquarium Fish Adventures with 9 books just completed in Covid.
Fortunately, managing to stay busy and entertained in and around our home.
I bought some sunflower last Wednesday to brighten my day and yours too!
