I am a 42-year old husband and father. I was an avid computer gamer and DOF, F-stops and the like were foreign to me until my wife introduced me to photography.

I began shooting during the latter part of March 2010 and quickly became addicted to it. I started this blog to share my journey and to learn along the way. Special thanks to my wife Eng who encouraged me and to all my friends in Blogosphere who shared their knowledge and taught me to further this craft.

Incredibly attractive! Looks like one of those exquisite Japanese snacks that you admire and cannot bear the thought of touching, much less eating ;-)

Carolyn Ford

What a glorious sight this is! And, I love fuchsias!

Roan

Exquisite! The colors are so vibrant!

Kala

Stunning image. Great colors and DoF.

I think "STUNNING" is the right word.

Kathy

Pinko!

I tried to type "Bingo!" but my fingers lost control. I think it's a matter of pinkmentation.

Bla, bla, bla, pretty, pretty, pretty, bla, bla, bla. Duh! :-) Well done Dave. Love the bokeh & soft colors/background.

Light tent? Mine was just a sheet draped over a card table or something like that with another sheet under & behind for a seamless background, if I wanted white. Took a lot of searching in second hand stores to get the sheets for a good price as wife would not let me use the one off the bed. :-) (Not true, we have plaid sheets. Not usable.) Good light was had either outdoors (hard to do in any wind) or with a flash on either side. I had real cheap garage sale flash with $5 optical trigger. Worked great. Trick was to learn how to turn off pre-flash on camera for optical trigger to work and to block or diffuse camera flash so it would not ruin shot. (Cut up milk jug diffuser mounted in hot shoe & blocked flash!)

Gemma Wiseman

The fuschia seems to radiate with bold colour! And the white on the stamens is like some drops of magical icing!

The photo of the fuchsia is stunning!

Dianne

I love the fuzzy-ness
my grandmother used to describe things as so beautiful they broke her heart
that applies here

Josefine Bergqvist

I really like all your photoes! This is gorgeous!
Have a nice day!

Robin

Wow! This is exquisite, stunning, gorgeous, and all of the other adjectives used in previous comments. The colors and light are almost perfect. ("Almost" because perfect might ruin it.)

Joanne Olivieri

Extraordinary shot. Although I have captured these same flowers, they were nothing as incredible as this one.

Marice

Intense color combo- a striking macro!
