Today 27-02-2012, I decided for a change, to walk the dog at Dooks Mountain bog. The morning was very overcast with dark clouds, so to take some of the following photos, I had to set the ISO to 400 to expose for some of the foliage that was in the shade. I also decided to try to give the foliage shots a dreamy look, so I set the camera to manual focus, then when correct focus was indicated, I shifted the focus slightly to give the photos a dreamy soft focus look, these photos are not intended to be sharp focus macro shots. It may not be to everyones taste, but I love to experiment to see what results I can get. As you will see, I didn't do the same with the landscape shots.
