Trying my hand at using a flash unit and adding some spark the image. Or so I hope ...

Wow Bart, really like this last one!

For all....
I haven't had a chance to sit back and look at threads in a long time. There are a lot of terrific shots here.

Bart . . . . That is completely wonderful and far out - :clap::clap:
My gob is suitably smacked - excellent!

Hi there Terry, too busy with your iPad, hey ?!
Thank you and all the best.

@jono: I must be crazy to get up that early (5 o'clock ), but I love to capture the morning's dew.
Here's the same flower (a little cropped) just 13 minutes earlier. I think it's a tad too dark overall, but I like the deep reds here.

All the best.

 

[Cindy Flood]

Wow, Bart. Those are fantastic...magic!

Gorgeous colours, Cindy.
That 75'lux never fails to amaze me, such a wonderful lens and it shows its magic on mFT, too !

Kind regards.

 

[Cindy Flood]

Thanks, Bart. I like working with the E-PL1 and 75 lux. The E-PL1 makes focusing a breeze, and it has an easy interface for setting a custom WB (I put SET custom WB on a button). I use the X-rite Passport for setting the WB and making a custom camera profile. It really helps in capturing those reds and purples that can be so hard to capture when shooting flowers....and the 75lux is an amazing lens.

Bart, I'd like to see more of your "magic dew" photos.

 

[Knorp]

Hi Cindy, indeed some colours seem impossible to get right, but you did a excellent job.
Regarding dew: here's one I like (though the composition is so-so ...) that I posted a while back in the MRX forum.

Ahh...I love the tulip festivals every year.

[Cindy Flood]

Those are both beautiful, Roman. I like the POV in the first one, leading the eye right to the sunset.

 

[RomanJohnston]

Thank you kindly Cindy!

 

[Knorp]

@Roman: welcome and what smashing tulip fields !
Wasn't it for the mountains in background, I'd say this must be Holland ...

Thanks for joining us and keep coming back.
Kind regards.

 

[RomanJohnston]

LOL...thanks Bart! And I will. This seems like a very nice place.

[Knorp]

More dew or was it a little rain ?
Anyway, this time I dusted off the G1 and attached it to the APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 1:2.8/100

Thanks for viewing.

 

[Knorp]

Flowers with a little something.
