Pine Needles

In this photograph I have captured pine needles from a pine tree in my backyard. Also this photograph reminds me of the fall. I like how close up the pine needles are in the photograph and how the background is blurred. However, I do not like how the sun is creating a hot spot in the top right corner.

Since I took this photograph at a time when the sun is really harsh I had to make sure my settings were fixed. I set the aperture at F 5.6 and the exposure speed at 1/500. This allowed the perfect amount of light into the lens. The focus in this photograph is very strong because the center of the pine needles is in focus and the background is blurred, allowing the eye to focus on the main subject.

I took this photograph because I love capturing things up close with the background blurred and I had not taken a picture of pine needles. Thus, I went out in my backyard one day and took this photograph. If I could improve this photograph I would see if I could have some how captured the pine needles at a different angle. That way there would not be that harsh hot spot in the right corner.
