As i said, a lot of theses right now. I think it is a challenge to crawl on the ground and try to get a good angle with my hendheld EOS 350D, an extension/macroring and a manual lens. Great fun! ;)

Leberblümchen

Some time of year I just can’t stay away from certain motifs. Leafs in the autumn. Summer morning light. Flowers in the spring. Flowing water. Fog. Some obsessions ;) Well, here’s a flower – hope you don’t get tired. I guess after the winter here it’s so good to see the nature awaken.

More anemone hepatica

Shot with Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 or Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7 with some ring.

Did I bring the Asahi Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 close enough? The kidneywort flower, Anemone hepatica, was touching the lens ;) More flowers to come, it’s that time of year…

Hepatica nobilis

This is the time of springflowers in Sweden. Anemone hepatica (“blåsippa”) and Anemone nemorosa (“vitsippa”) is two common ones that covers the ground here. I discovered that the Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 with different lengths of macrorings/extenders makes for a good tool shooting pictures of flora. Wideangle close to the flowers gives an interesting field of view to play with. This was made in the spring, and I have more coming…
