Bosca Dubh

mostly shadows and lines

his first sweet evening yellow

The sun, above the mountain’s head,
A freshening lustre mellow
Through all the long green fields has spread,
His first sweet evening yellow.

I love the blur in this one, it’s really amazing to get such great flower shots all in blur, I must try this sometime.

Thanks very much! There’s not much to it:

1 old Spotmatic without a working light meter + a stack of old closeup lenses + 1 wide-open radioactive lens (f1.4) + fast shutter due to wind (ISO200 film @ 500ms shutter) = uncontrollable blur. Makes for a focal depth of a couple millimeters.

The blur is something I’ve learned to embrace–my vision’s not so great I can appreciate sharpness anyway!

The softness really makes this photo. Love it.

Thanks, Darkness! I’ll continue my lonely war against too-sharp pictures.
