Springtime - A Journey Into Macro Space
1 year ago
When spring had arrived in Vienna, I thought about showing the beauty of nature, landscapes, ...
But then I realized that on a macro scale, it's incredible what is going on which you normally never realize!
I started initially to just reverse mount my 50mm f1.4 lens (taping it to the adapter on my Lumix GH1), but then for quality reasons I bought a used 50mm f3.5 FD macro lens with a 25mm extender.
Almost everything was filmed in my garden, apart from the first sequence which was on a small hill very close to my house - I realized that the flowers there became extremely rare and are under severe protection! Just in the middle of Vienna ...
Fascinating - hope you enjoy my take on that!

I actually had the same idea and want to shoot something similar here in summer ... hopefully, if I might have the time ;-)) The macro lens looks absolutely great. I should get one too. How far or close do you need to get for these shots ?
Notify me if you do something similar, I am very interested!
best regards, Gunther
I think I have to take out my Kiron Lester Dine for some shots too :)
