I get a different answer every time I look this plant up online. The consensus is Scilla luciliae, common name Glory-of-the-snow. I didn't plant it, but every year it spreads into a larger and larger area. Height is about 4-6 inches, blooms are about 0.5 inch. Same D950, 200mm f4 ais micro, and 36mm extension tube - focus bursts - while the cuttings sat in a sake glass.

Looks like Spring to me. I especially like the first one.

I've been shooting film so have nothing new to post. But you filled the void nicely!
I too really like that first one.

Of course we had snow two days ago. Fortunately it melted quickly.

Is anyone here? Gotta post something just to get things moving again. Here's several from last summer with the 105mm 1.8 ais.

Two quick shots from yesterday, Z5ii and 200mm f/4.0 Nikkor Q.

With anemones like these, who needs ferns?

I'll help out the slowness here with a really silly experiment. Light was not that great, wind was blowing so the tree was swaying. But I was out there and there after enjoying the view through the spotting scope I thought I'd do a silly experiment.

400mm f5.6 AIS with TC-14Eii, on an Olympus OM-1 set to tripod high res 80MP picture mode. Sequence of shots are full frame, cropped in, and then 1:1. I want to try this again on a good light day with a motionless subject.

When it comes to moving, those are two great ways to do it!
Nicely dramatic pics too.

Seems like work, work, work recently. Little time to shoot, no time to edit. But I’ll try and help move it along. More 85/2 long exposure, it was generally a fail but a couple okay shots. Didn’t realize they were working on the pier, equipment evident in the shot, which didn’t help.

Andy, love the car shots (and the cars!)

Hi, everyone:

Artemis II transmitted fantastic images but the Apollo missions' photography was not too shabby.

I believe these were all taken with a Hasselblad 70mm and Carl Zeiss Planar 80/2.8.





X-E1 + 28/2.8 AIs
