Lately i see more and more beautiful flower photography. I just wanted to give it a try.
Seeing that @adrianobalan is an expert in this domain, i asked him what kind of lens he recommends. He gave me the advice to buy an M42 lens, so i bought two of them. So now, i am the owner of a Helios 44m-2 (50mm, f2.0) and a Porst 35mm 2.8 MC (35mm, f2.8)
I had some old flowers that i bought for my girlfriend (she likes to keep them until they go dry, and after press them in a book and preserve them like that), so i photographed them in the living-room sunset light.
Hope you will enjoy:

Nice pictures. I have commented this before, but I never realized until I got on Steemit that macro photography was such a huge deal. I dig it though. I love your statement: "so I bought two of them" too funny. Always best to be prepared right? Great post!

Hey man, first of all thanks for the kind comment. And about the lenses, i wanted just one, but did not know the price of them. They were so cheap for what they do. I payed like 35$ for both of them :) So, i hope the return of investment will be good.
Macro photography was always like a siren for me. I heard about it, but never really saw it as a productive style. Now, after my first month of steemit i am falling in love with it and also i see it pays decent money.

Oh wow! That is a great price for the lenses. My dad was a freelance photographer, so I know how pricey they can get! For sure, I am starting to be pulled by the allure of it as well. Once it warms up a little where I live I might have to get outside and start giving it a go!

I like these pictures!
These are not the usual pictures with fresh flowers. In these shots can arise different emotions, typical of life. The observer can identify himself with that flower.
The soft light and the blurred give a correct atmosphere.

It is all about the lens! And having a sense of what a good picture is. Good choice on the lenses, the photos have good detail.

Wow, beautiful shots! Yellow flowers always had reminded me of Van Gogh's paintings, such a warm color. I want to try make some flower shots too. Let's see how it goes.

Hi!
This is just beautiful!
The Helios 44 is a nice lens indeed, I have one mounted on my camera right now. The Bokeh from a Helios 44 is both the most disturbing and beautiful I know of.
Looking forward to see more images from you!
Cheers, and have a great weekend.
