@stresskiller/my-new-toy-is-finally
This morning after dropping the wife of at work i decided to go back to a nature reserve nearby called "De Schammer" .
I've been there before over a months ago with a Sigma 150-500mm lens
and posted the images here : @stresskiller/discovering-a-new-walking-photography
Today however we will go in to that area with a completely differend lens namely the LAOWA FF 15mm F4.5 Macro1:2 .
A wide angle macro lens , having done all kinds of macro photography over the years a new challenge is always a welcome thing for the creative mind .
I will number the photos so it wil be easier to ask questions about them or comment on them below the post .
All images are created with the Sony A7II camera .
1 ) When i parked the car i noticed something shinny in the hedge , it was a spider web covered the complete top layer of the hedge.
2 ) 50/50 light and shadow
3 ) I hope you can spot the ladybug in this photo
4 ) ahh here is the first sunstar , one of the nice characters of this lens
5 ) Low perspective not many cloud reflections from this point of view
6 ) a nice pond with reflections need to bring my tripod and make some timelapse here .
7 ) Golden grass dried by the heatwave and a little sunstar shing down on it .
8 ) A once nice picknick table vandalised and poorly maintained.
9 ) A thistle with a little sunstar
10 ) Jacobaea vulgaris / ragwort most farmers don't like it cause it is toxic to a lot of animals.
11 )
12 ) Rhinanthus angustifolius / greater yellow-rattle
13 ) Jacobaea vulgaris / ragwort
14 ) Heracleum mantegazzianum / giant hogweed
15 ) Typha latifolia / bulrush
16 ) More reflections on the water you can't really see it but the water was filled with Cyanobacteria / blue-green algae.
17 ) Tipulidae / crane fly got hit by a stinging nettle taking this you can still see the leaf on the left .
18 )
19 ) Apparently after drinking an Energy drink , people don't have the energy to clean up after themselves.
20 ) looks like someone from Featherd friends lost something.
21 ) Although on F4.5 it's a bit softer in the corners it helps in this picture to draw your eye to the center of the photo
22 )
23 ) testing the 10-point sunstars at F22 , seems to work will try more of this with some night photography during the weekend.
24 )
thats all for today , i will be doing a lot more with this lens this month .
All images created by me
