NooB that can't get enough of spring! · 10:46 PM

Hello everyone.
First time posting pics. I'm new to photography and the forum, so decided what better way to break the ice than to post some recent pictures. I just can't get enough of spring and all of its amazing colors and life. How could it not make you happy! All taken this weekend.

K10D, Vivitar S1 105 f/2.5:

F/4.5 Flowers were roughly .25"

F/4.5

F/5.6

F/4.5

F/11

F/5.6

F/5.6 Shame his right eye(s) broke the focus plane

F/3.2

F/11

F/16 100% crop of a similar image

Comments welcome. Just be gentle... I'm new to this stuff.

Welcome to the site Vertex Ninja.

I like them all, but I like the bee the best

Thanks, glad to be here. He sure was accommodating!

Man, those pix are stunning. Me too, I love the sharpness of the bee image - and at F/11 I'm surprised the DOF was so shallow. This lens is some kinda special lens!

Welcome and wow. Some great stuff, love the birds

Let me start off by saying WAAAHHHHHH!!!! I WANT MY VIV 105 BACK!!!!!

Now...

Man, them shots are awesome, all I would expect and then some. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow! Thanks everyone. This lens is some kind of awesome. Dreamy at lower apertures and razor sharp stopped down. between it and my new(to me) A50 1.7, I'm in heaven!

Aanund:
I really liked them too. Notice that the flowers were in groups of 3, 2 with yellow centers and 1 with white(easier to see in 2nd pic). Quite interesting.

Buddha:
Shame it was busted. I think I got mine from the same seller. Is he replacing it or just a refund?

Buddha Jones · 05-30-2007, 10:40 AM

Replacing it.. hopefully I will have it back next week some time.

Vertex Ninja · 05-30-2007, 10:45 AM

That's great! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
