Frost bent Have to share one more fritillary :) This one is from my recent trip to Ljubljana marshes when it was about -6C. A little bit too cold for this fellow, I believe frost has damaged it a bit - see the brownish part on the front. <br /> <br /> I also created a vlog about photographing spring flowers: <section class="video"><iframe width="448" height="282" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ALMNcBLVFrE?hd=1&autoplay=0&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></section><br /> Fritillaria meleagris,Geotagged,Ljubljana,Slovenia,Snakes Head Fritillary Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    Love the video, Luka. You explain things very clearly and calmly. It also shows how much work and thinking goes into a single shot like this.

    I see you're already on the Z mount. How do you like it overall? Considering the Z-mount 105mm macro once released, or not?     Posted 4 years ago

      Thank you Ferdy!

      I switched to Z two years ago. And there are many more pluses than there are minuses. I never looked back. The only thing I am still waiting is Z telephoto lens. And I will definitely get a macro lens when it is out. Would prefer 200mm but 105mm will do too.       Posted 4 years ago

          Looking forward to see this camera, but not my cup of tea.. Too big and too costly. I prefer Z7 like camera. For what I do it has everything I need. Posted 4 years ago
