K-1 with Mamiya 645 A 120mm f 4/0 macro 1:1.

sadly yes, the concept of 'may 24' weekend being the 'ideal' for gardening is usually not accurate just north of you (Canada). Maybe mid June is when we start thawing fully without any worries about a random frost warning here and there

Our weather has been so unpredictable flowers right now in “photographic” state are few and far between…

Thanks hadi, I only use ND filter 10+3 stops double stacked for long exposure, the rest is post processing.

Here are a couple of K-1 shots using the Mamiya Sekor 645 C 300mm f 5.6.

Last night I changed it up a little with a headshot session for a local attorney. He didn't want the typical sterile plain background so we went to one of my favorite areas to play and shoot for an outdoor session.
