Re: Snowdrop

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks David. This patch of snowdrops is only about a square foot at 
the edge of one of my gardens. But every spring I watch it carefully 
for the first bloom. It's always a few days ahead of the crocuses and a 
week or two ahead of the daffodils. To me, spring is very important. I 
think it's a metaphor for hope. No matter how bad things are, they will 
someday be better.

That is good sharpness, and a nice photo.  I look forward to the

My Snowdrops are trying to bloom, but it's quite cold today. Here's a
shot with the Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 macro on *ist-D. It's at 1:2.

I placed a detail crop here. The reflection in the drop of water is
kind of cool. The *ist-D's sharpness and detail are quite good I think
for a handheld macro shot.

Both are f8 @ 1/90. I'll shoot these off a mini tripod when the
blossoms open. It needs f22.
