Yep....When you see their beauty through the lens so often, you lose all desire to eat them.
Originally posted by Scorpio71GR I picked up a Rokinon 85mm f1.4 a few backs on Adorama's used site.
I am interested in that lens myself...bought one when I bought my Tammy 70-200 2.8 a couple of months ago but it came in a Sony mount so I sent it back.
Keep me posted on your experiences with it.....love the froggy......he does look a little "steely eyed"
, but the bokeh is gorgeous!
Sort of pathetic, but it is the only bloom I have seen around here this season...one of Mrs Rupert's plants our grandson gave her. Squirrels have been trying to eat it for a few weeks now....I have to guard it.
No match for the lovely blooms I see posted here, but I shot it late in the evening through my office windows at about 15 feet away @ 500mm with my Bigma...not exactly a great lens for blooms. I have a fine Kiron 105mm 2.8 Macro...but that would require going outside where it is still 96F...and anyhow, I am way too lazy for that this evening.
Felt sorry for this little Spanish dove.
She waited and waited for her mate, and didn't know he was at the other end of the woods flirting with another little lady. I hope he will straighten out.
Regards!
