Pink Blossom Time

[Rob MacKillop]

OK, not 100% in focus, but after all those green abstracts, I thought your eyes might appreciate this. Mine did. DP2Q.

Not far off though and I like the way the composition works. And, of course, the colour.

This is the neutral colour setting, but boosted a little. It felt like Spring today, sunshine, flowers, blossoms, but it was still bitterly cold.

A great sign of spring in the air ye old cherry blossom

I like it Rob, but why didn't you do it again in focus?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good question. I don't know. Possibly the sun in my eyes or on the screen. A viewfinder would help. Sigma sell one for this camera, but it is too expensive, about £175. It's possible to use the ring on the lens for close focus, but a viewfinder would help a lot with that.

I read somewhere about using a Hoodman Loupe on these cameras - held on with an elastic band. I'll see if I can find it.

Interesting.

What, the hoodman loupe? Now that's a camera....
