Technically speaking, flowers

Iris flowers along the river walk in Mishawaka IN. The wind was blowing and I was hand holding this shot. I used Sunny 16- 1 stop due to overcast. With the shutter speed on the Nikon F set at the maximum of 1/1000 s, I used f/8 on the NIkkor 50mm f/2 lens. The bokeh is strong but pleasing with this image. I was after the shallowest depth of field I could achieve within the shutter speed limits. I was also at the close focus limit for the lens. The film was Kodak Ektar 100.

 

These negatives were processed using Kodak C-41 in a Jobo drum type processor. The lab I use had a failure of their roller transport machine and used the Jobo to run this film. The quality difference is phenomenol, better color, no scratches, much cleaner negatives.
