I went down to Carmel for a week for landscape shots and was pleasantly surprised to find so many blooms. Ironically my 100/2 stayed in the bag. These are Zeiss 50/1.4 handheld/windy day/very little post
Glowing adheres to the Mandler Leica designs, using it as natural special effect.
Leica Elmarit 135mm, @2.8 on Sigma SD1 Merrill Iso 100 1/640s, handheld. AF confirmed chip installed.The focusing at WO on Leica R is extremly hard, I totally depend on the beep.
I will be going to the Carlsbad Flower Fields in San Diego this weekend, so I came here to look for some inspiration and found plenty ... especially from Mike Reid, Ronny Olsson, ZoneV, bkwphoto, etc. Thanks guys for posting these beautiful images. I do miss the spectacular abstracts of Rampai65.
