... and green

july's lilac

for the second time this year (a premiere in my life time), the lilacs at my country house is blooming. I've never seen lilac's flowers next to sunflower :)

photos taken with Nikkor 35/2, in aperture priority mode. the first two at f/6.3, the third one at f/4 and the last one is wide open. (jpg with auto contrast, auto levels, resize and small amount of USM)

just a little walk around (part II)

... and the same flowers, photographed with Nikkor 35/2. The first two are shot at f/4, the last one is at f/2. also shot in raw, contrast and resize.

'Armed' with my new lenses, I got out around the neighbourhood to put them to the test.
These are some flowers, taken with Sigma 24/2.8, at f/4, ISO 200.

I love the light that falls on it :)

wide angle flowers

I love the wide angle view, not only for landscapes...
