I cannot ignore the RAW photos of my largest white dogwood. I love how the sun lights up this tree's flowers. The texture of each petal, especially in the photo without sun, reminds me of a waterfall.
another shot of the berberis shrub, taken a few weeks ago when the leaves were still there and covered with frost.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

With macro photography, things are not always what they appear to be...
What you could see as an effervescence of bokeh bubbles is merely...
...the micro-perforated bottom surface of a CR1620 cell battery.
Took this last week when the weather was cold but bright - oh but it was beautiful. Very bored with the dull damp days - 2 days until Spring starts...
Happy Bokeh Wednesday
This is a version for Retina cameras but not named Retina-Xenon. It has short MFD of 0.5m compared to 0.9 of more common Retina-Xenon. Obviously it has longer barel but other than that it is the same lens optically.
As all Xenons it is a beautiful and precisely made. It is similar optical design to Biotar so it is not surprise that it swirl in right conditions. But it is also capable of creating very smooth aquarelish bokeh too.
If I do not want to exaggerate a bit bokeh affect, no post processing is really needed. Colors are rich and natural. Here I worked hard to restaure the details and some colours in peony flower. It is almost impossible to get right this kind of composition straight out of camera. Something has to give up. Or flower is burnt or background is too dark. Lot of pushing and pulling is needed to make it right in the post. Xenon will render enough informations in RAW file to make it possible. I did not try to remove artifacts and as you may see there is not much of them
