Iduna Posted May 4, 2014 Share #1  Posted May 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) our gardens has also something to offer these days. And if trying out a new combo there is some advantage if you do not need to haul everything along.  Here I tried my Olympus OMD EM5 with the R Elmarit 60 mm macro + APO 2x converter. No tripod, windy weather and lots of bad focussed pictures. I had to grapple with a rather shallow DOF but the Elmarit is a pleasure to handle.    Welcome, dear visitor!

fotografr Posted May 5, 2014 Share #5 Â Posted May 5, 2014 Simply stunning. Looking at these is like going through a door into a different world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share #6 Â Posted May 5, 2014 Louis, I am really glad you like these. Thanks a lot for viewing. Â Paul, yes, these discoveries are exciting. Looking through the lens one has to follow it and then it is easier being inspired to look for a frame. Very often this does not function immediately and a new search opens up a new cosmos. Thanks for your time and sharing your thoughts. Â Dee, I am delighted when these photos cause such a nice response. Thanks. Â Brent, wow, thanks a lot. Yes, one can have new dreams here...thanks for sharing this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsw Posted May 6, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted May 6, 2014 These are beautiful. Compared to some of my macro lenses, this has miles of depth-of-field. all these very nicely presented. Â Cheers, Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share #10 Â Posted May 7, 2014 John, many many thanks for your emotional response and support. It will be an input for my next pictures. Â Henry, thank you so much. You are right in so far as this combo enhances the DOF so that handheld shots are possible. But patience then is needed. The good thing is that the sensorstabilisation of the OMD is great. This helps a lot and is the reason why I bought the Olympus. The R lenses are working perfectly here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suuumm55 Posted May 7, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted May 7, 2014 Iduna, Â the best harmony I see in the second photo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share #12 Â Posted May 8, 2014 Ingrid, Â this is a nice and interesting comment. I was not sure about the first one with its contrast. I could have rendered it also with less which I did in the second one. the second one is also only giving a hint at the full sight. Perhaps it is this what you like. Thanks a lot, it is appreciated very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, it is appreciated very much.  Iduna,  was important for me here the delicacy of this plant the color delicacy of this plant the best for me frontal viewing angle without disturbing little details right, left or in the background as in # 1 and # 3  this plant needed "rest" ... harmonizing backgrounds in which they can flow  yet it must be superficially deposited by sharpness, by natural light effects ....  but all just personal notes - you yourself must be your own style, find your expression.....   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share #14 Â Posted May 11, 2014 Ingrid, Â yes, you re perfectly right, Â I find it extremely difficult with theses rhododendrons, because they have this dainty appearance like porcelain. This needs "rest" as you call it. A problem is to separate one blossom from the rest, the rest is not free from stains, spots and decay even. They eye doesn't see all this but the camera lens will reveal it all. o this sereis is an approach to what was in my mind. Thanks a lot for your detailed review.
