That is quite lovely!  I especially like the graceful curve of the flower's

The shot  requires a macro as shown.  I ?The snowdrop is the size of a 
fingernail. My lens is only a couple oof inches away. The way to nail it would 
be by focus stacking at f4 or so.But I don’t have time or energy for that.

A longer lens would have helped. I've recently started using a close focusing 
300 for shots like yours, of course you need a longer working distance which 
might not have been possible.

Of course, if you're going farther with this image you could help it in 
processing.

It buried the snowdrops in the park on my way to work.

Thanks Mark. It helps to have a fully open bloom in the right position. But I 
like the new lens as well, although it feels cheap compared to my old Series 1 
Vivitar. Of course I paid over $500 for the new Pentax lens and about $130 for 
the classic Series 1.

Subject: PESO Snowdrop

I wasn't going to shoot a snowdrop this year. It's redundant. But I saw them
and couldn't stop myself. Pentax K-3 and Vivitar Series 1 90 mm macro. Could
have been a bit sharper on the leading edge of he foremost petal, but it'll
have to do.

Re: PESO: Snowdrop

2012-03-15 Thread Paul Stenquist
I don't know how many versions there were. But the first one, which is 
generally considered the best, is very heavy and is of thick metal 
construction. It can focus on objects at up to 1: 2 imaging -- half size on the 
negative or sensor. It comes with an optical adapter that attaches to the rear 
of the lens and enables 1:1 full-size macro work. It has the metal front lens 
cap with the Vivitar Series 1 logo. It would be very expensive if made today. 
It was made in both screw mount and K-mount. I think it dates from around 1979. 
About ten years ago they were selling used for around $250. Not sure what 
they're going for now.

Thanks Mark. Spring has come early. Hope it hangs around. I expect to have 
daffodils within a week, maybe sooner. The earliest I can recall from my 20 
years in Michigan was around March 27. In New Jersey, we once had them by St. 
Patrick's Day, the 17th. Could make that date right here, right now,  if the 
sun keeps shining through Saturday.

Thanks for the comments Ann. It's interesting you chose a different

Re: PESO - Snowdrop

That's a nice set, Eric...
I prefer this one (the last in line)

http://efeatherstone.dyndns.org/~ericf/photos/2011-02-13/content/IMGP4415_large.html

To the one you have as the first in the group
... like the bokeh better than the ones on  
solid black, which seem to me a bit too clinical and the raindrop is nice too. 

But really,  a very handsome group overall.  A couple of them look rather like alien spaceships or 
creatures...  

Certainly hope you do more of this sort

I always look forward to your annual snowdrop pic, and
was wondering when it would appear!

On this one, I would crop out the right 40%.  The
composition is "heavy" on the left, and the large OOF
flower on the right is distracting.

Yeah, it has been nice here.  Not super warm, but relatively sunny.
It wasn't an especially cold winter here, but much more snow that
usual, and it was relentless.  Started early and ended late.

It's nice to see the sun and a few flowers poking their heads up
through the soil!

I like it overall, but it feels like you're crowding the frame a  
little bit.

Great shot Paul.

Back ground is very good.

Spring is here, but no blloms yet.

I love this.  The OOF parts make it very ethereal, but there's enough
sharpness in the pistol to pull it all together.

Wonderful shot (especially welcome this time of year).

Thanks Jack. Didn't know he was a honey bee, but I could see he was  
different than our usual bumblebees and yellow jackets.

Paul,
You got even closer this year.  Nice!
I think my snowdrop (only 1 survivor) is gone.
It sure was nice out today in Chicago.

Snowdrops (didn't know that's what they are called) have a beautiful
shape and appear absolutely pristine.
In your place, I'd, also, be pleased about their appearance.
Sorry to say, but it feels heavy and cluttered to the left, Paul.
