The story behind the image
Done right, a nice Bokeh never fails to grab the attention of the viewers. Here’s a summer shot that shows a bee as it approaches a genuine lavender bush (Lavandula Angustifolia) in our garden. The f-stop of 2.8 really created such a narror depth of field that it was difficult to hit the exact focus point and I needed a couple of images because both the bee and the lavender were moving). But the result – especially with the super sweet bokeh in the back – is awesome.
Love it.
