I love the fact that you can get a good shot of a beautiful flower such as a common blue violet shown here below. It has a very clean texture upon the violet surface. One key thing if you are going to get a close up shot, but are shooting from a far distance is to crop. However, you want to make sure that the subject is clear to see, other wise it is going to come out terrible. To put it lightly, if an image sucks from the start, post-production will not make it better. If there is too much blur in an image, eliminate it move to a better looking one if you took multiple shots. The only exception I find blur to be excellent in is when you move the camera quickly as you shoot neon lights at night. This would be good because you would end up with streaks of lights, plus well lit areas like NYC’s Time Square offers a lot of light that will not make your image too dark. If anyone has any suggestions on when blur is good t use let me know in the comment section. As usual, do not forget to follow and check my website at https://stevenanthony123456.smugmug.com/ to see what photos I am selling!

Blur would look nice in sport photography, I daresay. As for the neon light thing, I like to set up my camera on a tripod and take pictures of bigger streets when it’s dark. Preferably shortly before a traffic light switches to green, because sometimes you manage to catch the sillouettes of the cars waiting.

And what is so funny is I think silhouettes are difficult to capture because the lighting has to be right.

Yeah. I think I only have one picture where you can clearly see the outlines of a car. I think I’ll post it soon, presuming I can think of a story to go with it.

If this is also a New Brunswick Violet (Canada) they are often sugared and eaten as a dessert (I think!).

There is no such thing as New Brunswick Violet that I heard of. It maybe a Common blue violet but I would not be exactly sure unless you can forward a photo to Wildman Steve Brill. Email a photo to him.

Probably just a local name. It’s our provincial flower.

Because I checked the USDA (United States Dept of Agriculture) database for Common Blue Violet and it was not found in New Brunswick. But if you are not far from Quebec you can always go pick them up from there ha.

Next province over. We share an extensive boundary. I sent you (I hope) the following link. Our provincial flower is on p. 15. http://www.umoncton.ca/umce-foresterie/files/umce-foresterie/wf/wf/pdf/NBVioletidentification.pdf

But maybe I am wrong about the plant not being in New Brunswick. I mean if the plant is the provincial flower, then it has to be there. It is not that hard to identify the Common Blue Violet anyway because it has a deep violet blue color with a hint of white at the middle. Just do not eat the Rhizomes, according to Steve Brill, which may cause vomiting. You can also eat the leaves in the spring and fall. What is excellent about violets is they kind of have a nice string bean flavor.
