So, finally spring is coming here in my part of Sweden. These flowers (Hepatica nobilis, kdineywort, “blåsippa” in swedish) are fighting their way up. This is the first image I like from the early, preset Asahi Takumar 135mm/3.5 I showed my earlier post. Havent had a chance to test it very much yet, but it looks promising.

I like the small, unripe fruits that grow to berries. The light shines through them almost. Here photographed with Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9.

Today we had a spring setback. It felt like the warming sun had a grip and nature was waking up.

Today the snow came back.

On the other hand I got a “new”, old camera I got from my father. More info soon :)

First image shot with Pentacon 50mm/1.8, next one shot with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 and plastic bag.

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.
