I especially like this one, beautiful bokeh, excellent dof where the whole of the flower is crisp. I shoot little in f6, i'll try more! Posted 12 years ago

  With flowers I like a soft blur bokeh, so if possible I use a diafragma around 6.3 or 8 and "play" with the sunlight on the flower. Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

        Wow what a trip you both made! Nice to read about it on your blog! Makes me even more curious of all the species you photographed. Something to look forward the next months or year.

      Hi Ferdy, don't know what you did at my jellyfish photo but it's now identified as a spider and can't put the name aurelia aurita back. Automatically it becomes still a jumping spider ?? Posted 12 years ago

        I noticed that. I saw a spider photo as part of the jellyfish specie and wanted to correct it, but no matter what I do, both specie names always end up as the spider. I'm not sure yet what is wrong, will try to solve it soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Posted 12 years ago

About the ID, could it be a cosmea?

  I took this photo in a garden of a Nature and Environment centre, and there was a nametag at this flower "coreopsis nudata".
  You're right it looks indeed also like a cosmea, but also like Georgia Tickseed (Coreopsis Nudata) and that's what the nametag said... So for now I let the identification the way it was :) Posted 12 years ago

  I read at your description that the cosmea is a medium sized plant, but this plant I photographed was pretty high! It was at eyesight or even higher.
  May be that is a remarkable difference between the two? Can't see from your photo how high "your plant" is? Posted 12 years ago

    When the nametag says it is the tickseed then it is.
    The cosmea becomes about 'navelhoogte' high. Posted 12 years ago
