I have started today a FLAD

[f6cvalkyrie]

Confused ? Well so was I ! But it means that I will try and shoot a flower shot every day with another lens, until I run out of lenses

Today I started with the G1 and the Pentax/Cosmicar 25/1.4

Nice idea! I like your image for today too. I seem to be doing similar lately. Your next challenge is to name the flower.

I'm going to suggest naming it Jennifer.

Lovely Rafael - and how many lenses do you have?

Lovely Rafael - and how many lenses do you have?

Thanks, BBW !

As for the number of lenses, views differ ! I think, not enough, my wife thinks, countless

But you're right, if I want to bring this project to a good end, I will have to inventarise the stock

Anyway, here's today's image, shot with G1 and Nikkor 50/1.4 + extension ring.

Day 3 was a rainy day with only a few sunny moments. Of which I took advantage to shoot this pic with the G1 and a Micro-Nikkor 105/2.8.

I hope you can find enough flowers to match up with your lenses

Day 4 was quite nice, some sunny moments and some clouds. But still too cold for the season.

Here's another azalea shot biggrin: because of Liza, I have to stick to flowers that I can name ) with the G1 and the Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8

Fantastic photos!
Please keep them coming.
I love the bokeh of the last one (Reflex-Nikkor 500/8)!

This is fun stuff Rafael. This far I like the Nikkor image the best, you got some calm and harmonic there. I'll be watching the play going on.

Cheers,

Jonas

Thanks, everybody, for your comments ! Much appreciated !
And keep visiting this topic, we are far from finished

Good evening for now,

All the shots I have been showing so far, have been taken around my house. So has this one, in a dark piece of woodland, next to where I live, in the evening light.
Maybe over the weekend, I'll go shooting somewhat further away

I was looking for a subject to render the swirly bokeh of this Super Comat, and, in the end, I found the azalea to fit in best.
In this picture, the PP was also adapted to reinforce the vintage look.

My wife grows Saintpaulias all year long. I took this one outside to enjoy the light.

I went to the sunday morning market in our village today, and shot this one handheld. Handholding such a long lens resulted in a lot of non-keepers
