DMC-G1 + Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 at an effective 50mm — 1/3200 sec, f/0.95, ISO 125 — map & image data
A couple of years ago I borrowed a friend's little camera with a very fast lens, a Voigtländer Nokton 25mm, which sports a rare f/0.95 aperture. I took a few snaps of some weeds with it as tests, but I didn't care for the electric viewfinder (I like the real optical viewfinder I'm used to), so quickly returned it.
I couldn't load the photos into Lightroom at the time because it couldn't handle the sub-f/1 lens, but I submitted a bug report and somewhere along the way it was fixed, so I could eventually load the images with metadata intact.
Anyway, I happened across them in my Lightroom catalog today, and decided that I liked the mood of the weed above enough to post it.
And here's another tiny weed of some sort...

I love these super-smooth photos. They make perfect desktop backgrounds. Thanks for sharing.
Makes me think about those soft-focus filters. ‘Could be nice for a shot of a bride! Do I see a trip to the nearby shrine? 😉
