The Early Flower Catches The Eye

It was a cold Sunday (around 37°F or 2.7°C or 276 K, whatever unit you like best ^^) and so we thought we should go and look for spring flowers. We drove out to Norris Dam State Park for a short hike (earlier pictures from last year). While we almost gave up hope to find any after the first half, we finally found a few nice flowers on the way. All pictures were taken with the 50mm Carl Zeiss lens I mentioned in my earlier post. With some practicing (or trial and error) it can be used for nice macro shots.


Josh with his Nikon 105mm macro lens and appropriate flash in front of the flower shown above. Quite an impressive setup... You find his today's pictures in his blog.


Not exactly a flower, more some kind of fungus. I was impressed by the colors you can find between all the brown and grey of the winter forest.


Finally, Norris Dam as seen through the fisheye lens.
