Thank you, I’m not sure what kind of flower it is.

I really like the amount of bokeh you used on this picture. I seem to get much more than I need when I try to blur the background.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the beautiful garden of Aberdour castle.

Time

After a tour of the castle and walk around the garden I took this photo in the late afternoon on a sunny summers day.

Lighting

This was a perfect day, the sun was warm and just highlighted the bright colours of the garden.

Equipment

This was shot free hand on a Canon 77D with a Tamron SP 24-70 F/2.8 Di VC USD

Inspiration

It was such a great afternoon and these flowers just captured the brightness of the day.

Editing

I enhanced the bokeh in the shot to bring out the flowers in front.

In my camera bag

I always have my my 82mm tamron lens and an ND filter great for capturing water.

Feedback

Always pack for a change in weather. In Scotland this can happen at any time.
