Wildflowers in Springtime

in PhotoFeed3 years ago (edited)

Sequel to my post on dandelions here, I discovered some more wildflowers on one of my walks. I wish I knew the species of these plants, but I'm yet to pinpoint their exact names.

This looked so much like a dandelion flower, but I think it's another species

All photos were taken with the Sony a7iii and Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens, and edited in Lightroom.

What's most impressive about this lens, apart from the sharpness and very good IQ, is the close focusing distance. Even at 70mm, I can get the lens less than a foot to my subject. It give me that creamy creamy bokeh.

I look forward to doing a proper review of my Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art and 50mm f1.4 DG (also insanely sharp, even wide open) lenses sometime.
@stevenson7, there you have it 😄.

I should post a series of B and W portraits soon as well.

Sort:  

As always, brilliant photos clap.

Okay so first off, the first yellow petal is a Tuscan Gold

The second whitish one can be called Amy of these names

  • Billy goat weed
  • Pracealis
  • Adonestema

While the last blueish photo is Melastoma malabathricum

I was wondering, is it a personal choice to not "post process"? Cos if it is, I respect that if not, I think you should try to. They would look so much better.

Thanks for the Tag boss 😌
Enjoyed seeing your photos.

Are you a botanist bro?? Because, wow! 😂 I definitely learnt some new facts today. ✍🏾

Well, I did edit these photos in Lightroom, but I generally like to be minimal with it, unless I feel it may be more beneficial. If I'd incorporated the flowers into a portrait or something, I might have tweaked it more.

Ah okay, makes sense. Love the style

Also no I'm not a botanist 😅

I used Google lens albeit I know Tuscan Gold

Wawu! Never knew Google lens worked like that o. I feel like a tech illiterate 🙈

🤣🤣🤣
You day whine me boss

These are great shots. I love the bokeh of this lens.

I do too! It basically keeps my 50mm f/1.4 off my lens
