That is quite lovely!  I especially like the graceful curve of the flower's
stem and the pleasing background.

Our forsythia in Central Jersey are just beginning to show a bit of
yellow;  some daffodils have emerged in sunny areas, but in my yard they
are still quite a while from blooming,

Re: PESO Snowdrop 2019

[Paul Stenquist]

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.

Re: PESO Snowdrop 2019

[Ken Waller]

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.

Thanks Ken. Couldn’t get less DOF here. As one can see, the rear petals are on

Re: PESO Snowdrop

I look forward to your annual snowdrop photo, Paul. This is very nice, as usual.

We had snow drop yesterday; 6 inches of alternating layers of snow and sleet. 
It buried the snowdrops in the park on my way to work.

Re: PESO Snowdrop

[Paul Stenquist]

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.

Re: PESO: Snowdrop

[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.

Looks like the lens did its job. And the operator held his end as well.

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.

 Well, it's been a /long/ time since I posted a photo, but I've
 gathered together the necessary round-to-its and spare time together
 in one place, so here is a PESO.

 I spent the day at the Chelsea Physic Garden, founded in 1673 by the
 Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. It is open to the public for a
 couple of weekends in February for viewing the snowdrops. The weather
 was overcast with the odd spot of rain, which was fine by me - it
 probably made for softer lighting and helped keep the crowds away. I
 was really wishing I'd brought a) a grey card  b) something dry to
 kneel on. Next time...

Thanks for the comments Ann. It's interesting you chose a different
one. I'd more or less decided the background in that last one was a
bit distracting, though I was happy with the foreground. I was lucky
with the raindrops.

Cheers,

 To the one you have as the first in the group

 bit too clinical and the raindrop is nice too.
 But really,  a very handsome group overall.  A couple of them look rather

 Certainly hope you do more of this sort

Re: PESO - Snowdrop

[Paul Stenquist]

Nice! love those snowdrops. Mine are probably still three or four weeks in the 
future. Right now, they're under two feet of snow.

Re: PESO - Snowdrop

[Ann Sanfedele]

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

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!

Paul,

I always look forward to your annual snowdrop pic, and

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.

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.

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.
Regards,  Bob S.

 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.
