Another subject I like to photograph is flowers1. Catching the intricate detail and the magnificent colours on Velvia is a very relaxing experience in my opinion, and a good way to waste a day when on holiday in spring.
Please note that I am not a biologist, and have no clue whatsoever what kind of flower this is, nor do I really care2.
Technical details
Shot on Velvia 100, with Canon 30 and Olympus 50mm 1.8 on Panagor Macro converter3.
Interesting tidbit: Camera was upside down beneath my tripod to take this one4. That’s why a good tripod matters, it gets you into corners that would be impossible without.
Why I like it
Nothing special, just came out the way I envisioned it.
