Bokeh Too

Nature does bokeh too.  A sunlight-dappled forest provides the background for wildflowers along the Bankhead Trail at Monte Sano State Park, Huntsville, Alabama. 

Nikon D7200 — Nikon 18-300mm F6.3 ED VR

195mm

F6.3@1/30th

ISO 1,000

Polarizer

The setup was a little nuts but I mostly shot it to see what I could get away with.  The only lens I take on a hike is slower than Christmas (F6.3) and I keep a polarizer on it to boot. (Unadulterated laziness to leave it on.)  There wasn't much movement in the air but the flowers weren't still either.  So I put the ISO up all the way to 1,000, took a few, quick frames at each exposure and picked the sharpest one. As (almost) always, you work on the edge and hope for the best.
