The tulip again, this time a different approach – taken with the tele-zoom lens turned around, the outer lens facing the camera (in “retro position”, in fact turning into a macro lens). It gives a very shallow focussed area, which creates this lovely soft feel.
Photo data: Pentax K20D, 50-200 mm lens in retro position, f5.6, 1/100 second and ISO 200, flash through white umbrella from the left.
