In looking for an image for this Friday, I was attracted to the shadows formed by the side-lighting on this Rhododrendron cluster. I decided to use the unusual view this Friday, just to illustrate another way of viewing the flowers. In some lens experimentation, I was using the closest example I have to a "35mm standard" lens to use on the E-510, in this case a Takumar 1.8/55mm, which becomes the equivalent of a 110mm lens in terms of a full-frame 35mm system. The longer focal length is much easier to focus than the Elmarit-R 2.8/28 that I have been using lately, but the lens is not as sharp as the Leica lens. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Shadows+14.tif.html Comments and critiques welcomed.
