Blue Berries
previous / nextBut they are not blueberries. I don't know what these are but the bright colors really caught my eye. This is the last of the shots from Sandy Hook...for now...maybe.
ETA...I've been busting at the seems because I just got a new camera this past Saturday...A Full Frame Nikon D700...Wow! What a great camera! I do a lot of very low light handheld photography for orchestras at ISO 1600 with my D200. The results have usually been pretty good but I've wanted better. Well now I have it. I haven't had time to really get out and use it since I have been busy processing photos from the assignment I was on last week, but tonight I had to take my youngest to his orchestra rehearsal so I thought I might just try a couple of shots to see how well it works in very low light at high ISOs. I can report that it performs well beyond what I had hoped for. You can see an example of a shot I took in the dimly lit rehearsal space in the basement of a church shot at ISO 6400, 1/125 second @ f 2.8 handheld with ZERO post processing by clicking here. This is just a quick snap I took and it is only an email quality JPEG that I exported from Lightroom without any post processing.

-ABOUT ME- -LINKS- -HOME- -CONTACT-
As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

wonderful color contrast. blueberries or not, they make for an excellent picture. And I always fall for shallow DoF...
fantastic colors composition and wonderful details and dof
Beautiful vibrant colors Laurie. I really like this.
Very beautiful fall macro... good details...
They are berries of Parthenocissus quinquefolia, known as Ampelopsis too.
i love their red and blue colors. they are so beautiful i'd also eat them!
The blues and reds make a great alternative to the typical autumn color photos. Nice work with this macro.
Well, if they're not blueberries, they certainly are incredibly BLUE!
Bluetiful! Not sure what they are, but I think I saw some like this over the weekend.
lovely colors laurie.
it's a very beautiful shot.
my only nitpick is the dark area at bottom right. it's sorta distracting. i'd crop a little bit off bottom.
Terrific DOF and contrasting colors make this a wonderful shot! Not to mention the sharpness and details of the blueberries.
WOW! I love that color! It throws me back in my chair when I look at it. Excellent composition and bokeh. You've got a real winner here, Laurie. Was this taken with your new baby?
Laurie,
What a beautiful picture. It jumped out at me and what a treat to see it!
Great job with that one and your others too. I'm going back to view it again.
Beautiful...just plain beautiful!
This is perfect!
Very good colours and a fine balance between sharp and out of focus.
Let us have some more from Sandy Hook please.

Lovely image of berries. They really pop. Congrats for the new camera. Amazing low light sample shot...so clear and sharp. Now I want new equipment, thanks to you. :(

A truly beautiful composition Laurie. Lovely blue berries contrasting so very well with the red and green tones. Excellent capture.
