Wildflowers

I am finally catching up with all my photo projects. I am very happy to find time to work on my small portfolio of photos I took last week in a park. I put it in a gallery, and I am thinking of printing a small book out of it as well. What is special about this project for me, is that it is one subject, photographed in one day in one location, using same lens. I had Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 lens, set up to… you got it, f/1.4.
It is quite interesting, how many photographers prefer wide-open to stepped down. And that hardly anybody likes anything about f/16. Which I am sure does not translate on many real-life situations- I can imagine that both shooting landscape and/people requires stepping down once in a while, at least?
