Tulips (and a few other things...) by Mark German

Posted on October 23, 2009

It has been a long time since I’ve shot for myself, and it was a pleasure to stroll through the tulips a few weeks ago. Tonight, I actually had time to go through them, and appreciate the wonderful things again.

I used a combination of a 50mm f1.4, a 100mm macro, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS. I purposefully limited myself to each of these lenses for an equal amount of time, without changing, the better to experience the flowers from differing viewpoints.

Hope you enjoy :)

    Hey Mark, great to see you again mate. Good to see that you have made time to smell the roses even though they were tulips ! I was only thinking about you the other day wondering what you have been up to. These images are beautiful mate, they show why you are a professional, so inspirational. Hope that life and business is going great for you.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

    Thanks, guys :)

    Wayne – life has been one long workload recently. I’m enjoying it, but have almost no time for myself at all. I’m looking to modify that sometime soon, but anything worth getting takes time, hard work, and patience. Fortunately, I have never been afraid of hard work :)

    Beautiful images, Mark. They brought me a nice, warm feeling – thank you. You should have asked us all to select our favorite. Mine was number 12.

    Hail MARCUS!
    So good to see you treading the RB corridors again.
    I followed your link and found a truly delightful collection of floral delights, (with a sari and a pair of plastic butterflies thrown in), which display your great ‘eye’ and creativity.

    Beautiful work. I don’t have a particular favourite…they’re all gorgeous. Loved the ‘sari’ variety though.
