Experiment with tripod

Today I went out with my remote shutter release and experimented...

Depth on the field shot on the chessboard - I was able to get the foreground and background blurred, with only the knight in focus

Wooden fruits - low light with long exposure

Using manual focus on flowers

Another depth of field shot with only the first flower in focus

Water explosion - experimenting with high shutter speeds

Warp drive garden - this isn't a computerised effect, this is actual focal zoom
It was interesting to use a tripod and be a bit more in control of the photo than usual.  Looking forward to using a tripod and remote shutter release more.

First pictures with a UV filter

 I thought I'd try out a UV filter on my camera and this what happened.

Trees with cool light effect

A nice bright flower
