Those photos have everything I aimed for. And no, I am not a professional photographer (as you can probably tell). I just shoot stuff cause I like it.
And so during one my enjoyable photo walks I found a perfectly long and slim poppy with a bud still completely close. The time was also right as the sun was slowly setting providing this golden lights and more settled colours.
And lastly - the bokeh. Oh... thank you Mr. Helios! I knew this lens can nail it even though I kept trying and didn't see it's full potential. And believe me - this is still not it. But it's close. Very close!
Those were shot in spring in Poland when I had my brother lens collection to my disposal. It took me two trips to finally see the bokeh this Helios can do. First time I spent two hours looking for the bubbles. I took lots of photos which are cool and I had fun testing the lens, but the bokeh wasn't there. And lets face it... this lens is famous for its bokeh!
Later I got a good advise to go again when the sun is lower. Never shoot at noon. Best light is always in the morning and in the evening.
And so I took the toys for a walk again. Same place, same camera and same lens. And my oh my.. I got bitten by mosquitoes terrible, but every bite was worth it!
The humble poppies waiting for the night to come.
