Snowdrops

Took the annual visit to Garston Wood to shoot snowdrops, this time round for most of the shots combining a film lens, Zuiko Olympus 90mm F2 macro lens, with the E620 digital camera body. I used very shallow depth of fields on the macro lens to intentionally blur the background or select a particular element of the snowdrop to stand out. I also with a few shot through over snowdrop flowers to achieve a more ghostly look & feel. These are the best of the day.

On the tip, Olympus 90mm F2 macro lens at F2.
