first flowers of the season

first flowers of the season · 12:02 PM

my first batch of flower shots for this spring. All but the last shot with M50/1.7
This year I am experimenting with shooting flowers at wider apertures, last year
I was mostly shooting around f8 for flowers. Let me know what you think!
(click on the images for bigger versions)

f2.8

f5.6

f4

last one shot with an ancient Tokina 70-210 mounted on a macro bellows, just to see what would happen

shot at f11, I think

thanks for looking!

Tim, I like them. The smaller DOF is great for such shots, I guess....
The first one is my favorite.
