This first one is a native California plant: www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/Velvia-03-Davis-crp-crv-shrp.jpg Three shots of California poppies in the late afternoon: www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/Velvia-10-Davis-crp-crv-shrp.jpg www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/Velvia-16-Davis-crp-crv-shrp.jpg www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/Velvia-22-Davis-crp-crv-shrp.jpg Another native of some sort: www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/Velvia-24-Davis-crp-crv-shrp.jpg Then I got all inspired to try to do something in black and white.

I was attracted to the pattern and the dimensionality. www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Flowers/TMAX100-35-Davis-crp-crv-spt-shrp.jpg All were shot with an R8, 100mm APO, the color on Velvia 50 and the black and white T-Max 100 in T-Max developer @ 20C. Comments most welcome. Adam
