Flowers Anyone?

I agree it's the best one yet... simple and elegant with no visually distractive elements.

Not to the caliber of Jonathan's but a few addition from this week-end playing some more with un-coated lenses.

It's not a competition, Luc. And I'm with you in regard to uncoated lenses.

You do very well shooting flowers in place. I always need to cut them down and bring them inside since it takes me way too long to get the composition I want. (Would you believe two hours sometimes? Yeah, I'm slow.) If I tried shooting outside the light would change too much before I settled on the right framing.

Those are lovely, Luc... very nice depth and tones.

How about an open thread for all things floral. Here's one of mine. These are Puruvian Lillies I've been told. I like the sequence of young buds blossming into the five adults. The different stages of growth.

I got flower here!

Did think about it like one...
You get more delicate tones and I am more in your face.
Likely be able to use controlled lightning would be great and I am sure that after looking at all the set-ups that you guys are using I will try it one day but for now it is just as I find it (or not).
I might venture on the front lawn of neighbors next :-)

Cheers,

Thank you very much.
I just found an old Dial-set Compur on eBay to move the 1938 Tessar 135/4.5 from a Sinar Db board to it.
It has I think ten aperture blades so I am looking forward to it.

Cheers,

Luc
