Description
I believe this plant is called Hare's-tail Cottongrass (Tussock Cottongrass, Sheathed Cottonsedge) in English, please correct me if I am wrong.This is a photo I took a few weeks ago at a large swamp in Kiiminki, Finland.
Apparently I missed one speed limit sign when going there and received a letter in the mail from local authorities. I am quite angry because I never overspeed (on purpose) when driving, but I guess I was just stupid :/

i'd love to know how you get that kind of bokeh from 2.8 apeture... - unless there's something extra in Post-processing?
π: 0 β©: 2
I didn't
I guess a lot of is about the lense, Sigma 50-150mm.
Of course there were other plants like this on the background
that formed the bokeh aso

THAT is a sweet lens!

It's the lens, not the aperture.
I get very nice bokeh at 2.8 with my 28-80 L.
This shot is especially good though. Looks like he might have dragged the shutter a bit.
Well done!

I know it's the lens, i have a tamron 17-50mm 2.8 but it doesn't produce that much background blur at 2.8 - i figured for more blur, it would need to be 2.0 or 1.8...
then again, maybe 80mm or more does crop more detail from behind the subject.

Sweet one ^^
Watch out not to overspeed, you may have an accident, a ticket is the smallest price for unconsiousness

Yup, I think you're right, it's Eriophorum vaginatum

Nice photo, congratulations. I have to visit some swamps too, I guess. I hope I will not break any limits on my bike

Thank you.
Did you know that the Finnish name for Finland, Suomi, actually comes
from the Finnish word of swamp?

Y'know, that's funny. I've had my license for over a year and a half and I never had a speeding ticket (or ticket in general). I did, however, have a car accident from black ice in January (I'm fine. I just sported a big ass bruise on my knee for three months. My poor car was totaled though). I almost wished I had a ticket than my car being totaled. I could at least still drive.
I love the colors. They seem more equated to autumn than summer though. I imagine summer with deep blues and deep greens than browns and reds.

That really sucks.
I got once into an accident when the driver behind
me had his focus on rollerskating girls
I got more money from the insurance than the repair
cost me so it was win-win almost

Ha, my insurance barely covered what was left in car payments.

Thank you.
That was a wonderful evening in all ways, except that one :/

You're welcome.
I understand. That sucks :/

never mind those shrinks with their limits.. you've got a nice capture here, and that is what matters!
π: 0 β©: 1
But I will mind that 100β¬ ticket that will follow
Thank you for the kind words

ouch! that becomes noticeable, yes. sorry, i forgot about Scandinavia, that there you have rather strict fines for speeding.
over here these were also raised to a noticeable levels, but still sometimes i wish they would make it rather draconian, to contain all those crazy flyers, yknow
i also got one of those yellow papers, ehh. but that was my own fault, i was numbly driving like a lunatic around, some shooting trips, going to work etc. and like for 2-3 months, and completely forgot to renew the road worthiness certificate. then a nice guy in blue kindly reminded me (~60eur)

I guess I am lucky because they charge by one's income
and mine is not much
