that excursion last saturday was extremely satisfying in terms of both the process and the outcomes. so here are two more poppy flower vs. barley shots.
never before i had used the macro capabilities of my new tele zoom, but here, for the shallow depth of field, it is really indispensable. in a severe attack of lens buying addiction i had succumbed to the new tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 tele-macro ld di, which david kilpatrick of photoclubalpha.com had reviewed very favourably here. It definitely is a steal, and the remaining chromatic abberations – for this price you don’t get an apo lens – can be easily corrected with a gimp plugin, if necessary.
It’s my first visit to your site. I saw. this beautiful image going through VFXY. Poppies are my favorite wildflower and wildflowers are my favorite flowers. A wonderful find and a splendid image.
This lovely and quite different. I really like this image. Beautifully seen and produced.
That last poppy and barley photo is my favorite, I like the nearly monochrom background that the barley provides for the red poppies… (I’m not sure that “poppies” is the right word here, but it sounded fun đ
Good that you could use photography as a means for unwinding after your trip! I can imagine that it’s a tough change…
beautiful movement, very delcate..
Beautiful, both of them, but if I had to choose, I’d take the first. Well, obviously so did you đ
like the nearly monochrom background that the barley provides for the red poppies. Poppies are my favorite wildflower and wildflowers are my favorite flowers. Beautiful, both of them.
Thx, Sandra. I rarely concentrate on flowers, but this situation I do remember vividly because of the really astonishing light quality.
