Yellow Archangel Milvus 35/1.4 @f2, Nikon Z 6 Half of May, early evening; other herbaceous plants spark from the fading blue, such as yellow archangel or bright pink red campion (in smaller numbers yet). 100% enlargement reveals distinct hairs on the petal cups (macro-like ability of the Milvus 35/1.4). The way the colours combine reminds of Ukrainian flag; let’s hope the peace will return soon. Surrey Hills
Nikkor 24-70/2.8 S @35mm, f2.8, (Photomatix 5 exp/4 EV range), Nikon Z 6 Afternoon, Surrey Hills
Milvus 35/1.4 @f2, Nikon Z 6; this Milvus has a rendition of a decent macro lens for closeups; one of the highlights of this wide angle Hyacinthoides non-scripta; the evening light and a large worker buff-tailed bumblebee (over 15 mm) visiting the flower add magic to the woodland scene and scale to those outside Atlantic Europe unfamiliar with the bluebell. The bumblebees are increasingly active during the winter in warmer parts of Europe. Surrey Hills
