Flower interpretations
« on: April 26, 2020, 22:35:53 »
Photographing more than i've done in a long time while fighting off the "mad-going" result of isolation. Man, how i'd love to go back out to shoot some mediocre landscape shots  ;D

Some flower interpretations then, first one is a geranium, second one a rose. Shot with the 105 f/2.5 with a 35 f/2 reversed, handheld in front of it (hence the vignette).

Both strong images, they need to be printed in big size I feel.
Stay safe and sane!  ;) 8)

Assessed from these results, an annual  "Corona time-out" should be mandatory !!

Thank you very much, lady and gentlemen! I truly appreciate you stopping by and commenting, so positive none-the-less.

I was afraid you'd say that, dear Birna. I'll go back to shooting mundane and mediocre things, lest you mandate such an isolation period each year  :o 8)

Both beautiful, the second one has more mystery.

Very nice idea and execution, Hans!  I like the second one, but the first one is no inferior.
