Thanks Ron.
After Maine's landscapes and lakes, what a beautiful flower.
Nice contrast.

Spiralcity,
What lens did you use, especially for this ant ?

Koji, I never heard about Holgon 16mm. Have you a photo of your lens ?

It's Hologon, and it's a rangefinder lens for the Contax G cameras.

Olivier,

Last three pics were shot with Fujinon EBC 55mm 3.5 Macro lens...

Some more excellent shots! Ron, love the detail and colors in that shot! The
Tak for not being a macro, certainly didn't let you down.

A lot of great captures here.

A small contribution from me, taken recently with the Helios 44-2.

A wild orchid


And a domesticated one




This one might have been taken with the Flek. I'm not quite sure.

All the last serie is superb but pic n°7 is the best for me. Some may think a flower is a very easy subject to shoot, but watching some of the pix here its rather amazingly looking Cool

Damn, Koji, that's an awesome series.
Shadows, the Jup is awesome, I like the gone to seed view.

Here's yet something different - vintage camera shots with expired Fuji 160NPS (thanks Orio!)... cameras doing what they weren't necessarily designed to.

First, the 1933 Rollfilmkamera with Skopar. I think I need to adjust the spacing of the first 2 elements on the lens to collimate it properly... don't get a good infinity.


Then, an honest photo - the flowers were in the shade, so this is what they looked like. Diacord Rikenon, INDIA brand +1 close up filter:



Last, a b&w conversion of a Bessa I Vaskar shot - the yellow tulips just burned the film or scan it seems. Fuji 160C. This was also a bokeh test Rolling Eyes shot with a larger aperture than I'd otherwise use with this lens. There's a bit of depth behind them tulips.

I think it might be amaranthus.
Here is another with my loved Steinheil Culminar 105/4,5:

Then let me add another Steinheil, the result of using a Cassarit 2.8/100mm:

Gorgeous Klaus. I have only recently discovered these Steinheils and I must say I am enthralled by what I am getting with that Culminar. It misses a bit of the sharpness of others, but more than makes up for it with colours, OOF rendering and what Orio referred to as "airiness".

Do weeds count? I found these in my yard. I'll be damed if I know what the first image is... Shocked






Does a green pepper from my garden count? Very Happy

It is a Garlic. (It should stand up?)

Mine is blooming. Very Happy


Vegetable flowers are difficult to identify unless you are a farmer or at least a weekend farmer/hobbyist. Very Happy
Onion, green onion, garlic chives, and garlic all share the same kind of flowers, they are good to protect your garden flowers
against plant/flower eating insects and possibly dracula!

It's bent like ans "S" right now.

Is this a wild flower, or is it possible that birds have just dropped seeds while feeding and they ended up behind my garage?

We didnt plant these.
