Yellow flowers against an urban background.
Today was a celebration of the Sigma 35mm f2.0 Contemporary lens as used with a Leica SL camera. No Tomfoolery with artificial lens blur or post production tricks. Just enjoying the magic that's the nature of lenses used close and with big, fat apertures.
I used to own a Kiron 28-85mm lens that had highest close-up magnification (around 1:4) at 28mm. I loved taking photographs with it that featured great big blossoms in the foreground and teeny tiny buildings, trees, clouds, and mountains in the background. These days I tend to prefer using longer lenses for close-up work, which produce a very-different look. Perhaps I should try using my current wide zoom lenses to do close-up work of the type I once favored.
