Plumtree blossom and other spring pictures

LaFoto · Apr 14, 2004

These came back today - I took them a week ago yesterday - and I am quite happy with the prints (though not so much with the scan). They are crystal clear in print.

These are the plum tree blossoms of one of the two plum trees in our front garden. Taken with the 200mm telephoto lense in its macro position and a circular polarizer, handheld. There are five photos of this twig all in all.

Four bags of film with all in all 144 prints were to be collected in the drugstore today. Yippieh!

So there are quite some more spring photos that I might add to this thread (which hasn't become a thread so far...):

I was lying flat on my back, photographing against the sky for this one. My daughter saw me and said: "Mommy! What are YOU doing?????"

Catkins in the Easter Sunday evening sun

Excellent lighting and composition of the subjects. "Catkins in the Easter Sunday evening sun" is my favorite. I think because the bud seems foreign to me. In the sense that I have never seen anything like it.
