Amidst all the continuing aftershocks (they had pretty much died out for a few days, at least while I was awake, but have tonight rattled the house several times over the past hour, twice rather violently and for a while) spring has finally turned on its glory.
I'm really starting to love this macro lens now that I'm starting to figure out its focusing tendencies and the beauty of shallow DOF, after keeping it on the camera for the past few days. Here are some highlights :)
"Mummy and Baby". I got these two little birdies at different times during festive season sales (Easter for the big yellow one, and Boxing-Day for the pinkie), but it wasn't until after the big shake that I realised that putting them together looks quite cute.
There's only you... Big camellia flowers are always so photogenic, especially the lone ones.
Tulips. The tulips flowering are a sure sign that spring has sprung.
Go Green. Look carefully; there's a crafty visitor hiding here (that I didn't see at the time).
Helebora. After flowering for the first time in years, after coming back from the brink, in the past week it has started sprouting a thick, dense canopy. Studying this shot again, maybe slightly deeper DOF might have looked better with those long flower bits.
