Cyclamen

It's cyclamen time again and, once more I am thankful for the k1's flippy screen because my poor old frame can't get down there any more!
A lot of people simply throw them out when they are finished as pot plants. Put them in the garden under shrubs and in shady places that
get a little sunshine. They spread quickly.




K1 with a Takumar f3.5 200mm, ISO 100 about f8. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was a Trioplan !

Excellent shot...love those rich colours and great background.

Got to agree with Karlo - the beautifully rich and deep colours coupled with the superb background highlights just work so well. A 50+ year old lens producing the effect that some are looking for in the latest generation of expensive modern masters - you're continuing to show that a lot can be achieved without the need to spend a fortune David

That's a beautiful image, the colours and out of focus areas are superb.

Kind Regards
David

Lovely bokeh.

Agree - that bokeh

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Lovely bit of photo-art here David with the subdued light really enriching the colour of the flowers
