Photographing Tulips with a macro lens, handheld on a breezy day is like shooting sports!
All images were created with a Sony a6100 and 40mm f/2.8 TTArtisan macro lens.

Another Image Using the Slit Filter
This may be may favourite image so far using the technique of covering the lens except for on narrow slit (vertically in this case). To me it feels impressionist. The lens was an old Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 on my Sony a7ii, via adapter.
The Beginning of The End
This post may be titled “The Beginning of the End” but it is about the start of a project: black and white images of flowers / plants that are in various stages of decay, from the beginning of the end to (eventually) dead leaves in snow, as the year progresses.
I took these four images this morning on my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 25mm f/1.8 lens.
Morning Flowers
Two more flower images taken this past weekend in Niagara-On-the-Lake here in Ontario. I love the colours!
Both images were made with my Sony a6100 body, and TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4; a lens that is getting a lot of use lately!
Flowers Behind Glass
I was out yesterday morning with my over 60 yr old Jupiter-8 lens (50mm f/2) mounted on my Sony a7ii, and saw this vase of flowers in a store window, painted by the morning light.
I love how this old lens renders flowers!
Flowers
It was quite cloudy last Wednesday, but that kind of light is great for flower images. Both images taken with my Sony A7ii and 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron lens.
Colour in Kipling
The area around Kipling Avenue in Toronto is not the prettiest, but that is where I was yesterday, and did find one spot that wasn’t dreary, and of course it was a flower macro.
Flowers After The Rain
Coming home from Camera Club in the rain last night, and knowing more rain was forecast overnight, I resolved to go out this morning and shoot black and white macro images of rain drops on flowers.
It was a bit breezy, and focus was a real challenge, but after some work in post I got three images I like.
I used my Sony a6100 body and 90mm macro lens.
A Wash of Colour
It has been a while; let’s just say the summer has been challenging, and some things have suffered as a result, like my photo blog. I will try to do better.
I was out this afternoon with a lens I have not used in a while: my Lensbaby Sweet35. I love its primitive characteristics, and the way colour seems to wash through the image.
Loving the Swirl
I was in the Beaches again this past weekend, and my lens of choice was my 58mm/f2 Helios 44/2. I love the overall look and swirl of this lens when used wide open!
