Good morning , Another sunny winter day making the balcony look like spring is already here . Last year i filled these planter on the balcony with bulbs , so that we would have early signs of spring on the balcony , well that worked just fine after the crocusses started flowering last week this week it's the Dafodill Tête à Tête that started flowering in the planters as you can see . With all the problems in the world it's better to share some positive fibes like spring flowers , instead of posting about market prices and wars . uhm wait what just happend this is not how i develop my photos . . . 1 ) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPHL1Q8SRAwCr4BGCxpyK4hWnxuD9p1Q2ZdFwfLB29EPX/a7402231.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS This is much better , apparently i switched a setting and i had to convert the whole batch again ... 2 ) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfHSMegYoKh34E5WEhFEZmCFsEXKXyREc4hAqjHfh2fzG/a7402231_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS 3 ) No insects this morning probably still to cold 5 degrees Celcius ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbcp7ZpbjowZHa43jDcgPmyqEk39V6ANaiarzGgpnKALS/a7402233_01.jpg) 4 )South facing balcony ideal for some spring flowers ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVLXrJRhocrS28iKpgYqstZX3izQE9eczd9CXnfocZUxT/a7402234_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS 5 )Looking from above it doesn't look like much but when you change the camera angle and lens you can make great photos in a planter like this. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaa3wKxTCXAtyagYA453PQnbbMrddANF21EGcJAqJ3UHH/a7402235_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS 6 )The sun is still partly hiding behind the neighbours rooftop, in two weeks time that will be over and the sun will hit our appartemnet and blacony with it's full power again. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVKTx6oNtrsG4i2AzUpGv687AdQVi3HC1ZCnRtf4SQhsu/a7402236_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS 7 )The last crocus flowers , i guess they will be gone next week. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmP3xDrwQpRjsC7nVUXsiVAfsL3pFX3cXvyGkkg7fqy598/a7402240_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS 8 ) But atleast we managed to capture them on camera. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVx9kk9ryHKJW4uqvPn1UCezXMQZzeRiZ7QUuyiy18ioV/a7402241_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS + 16mm extension tube 9 )Dafodill Tête à Tête a bit soft on f4 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcQEvuTMmLXWciA1WrfNYspaPhR4n5RDRCBzti5yzScZh/a7402243_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS + 16mm extension tube 10 ) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbgcvpsCH8wRxBQ5YRdNhj98xCVsSy4odJ6okbFjwwyuT/a7402248_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS + 16mm extension tube 11 ) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbV7fb7QsMe1iMnuRHiJUmCA6iZHT1b894FHTMbd3q3d4/a7402256_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS + 16mm extension tube 12 ) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYbBK7ybAYTZ9ycpo57PnrBAjZw1beGsaja3mBg9roFhH/a7402263_01.jpg) Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS + 16mm extension tube 13 ) Different camera and lens , ultra wide and macro ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmf9dF3ZZyY2tYXmZyCh6ZovNH4oByLyuTBts9gmJe6tvD/dsc09312.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 14 )Look i have very long arms , took me some trials with manual focus ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeQ9YLfpJvSEkERYs4ZtZ3T2orNyCMWYziE49HUBSEtci/dsc09317.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 15 ) The lens is almost touching the flower in this shot , you can get really close to the subject. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX12YFhuuwyk1V5L8w953EnVEUdevEwcLx1173pvQSrcz/dsc09330.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 16 )No need for flash lights today pure natural lights used only. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVhwZR75NpwVKcKTjPhoBsJVkdDAziD3ksKJKpRmzcnGs/dsc09331.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 17 ) all those flowers in just two planting containers hanging on the balcony railing. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWqYBzu2fa4DcfXYnkk9qTikUZhE8HRJCeEXSgZ57uUtY/dsc09336.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 18 )top view of the planter ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeSMKYUJuTnhoMt4HfCwAxWHcmt43pBkw4d3JT3K1WbMr/dsc09337.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro 19 )and finally last showt of the crocusses growing towards the sun light ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdQpwgqSMsdufygQTqhRQLSPbS23mZEv3hfzDF4jBuTzg/dsc09339.jpg) Sony A7 II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro
Right that is all for today , don't forget to check your witness votes this year there have been already multiple witness servers that stopped , make sure your votes still count and that the witnesses you have voted for are still up and running .
Easiest way to check is go to : https://primersion.com/witnesses type in your hive account name and it will show you all the witnesses you have voted for. if you voted for an inactive witness it will show you something like this : ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWsZpn5dgfD8VyCLp41nkagAMwhkdB1v1QhcNh5F1NEb1/image.png) it will also show you the last time the witness created a block : ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmR9oHNonkFwKBCpkYsvNiTshuaXqHTXzoLRCiTDwRLBGA/image.png) make sure your votes still count ! and if you happen to have any spare votes please consider to vote for my Witness "stresskiller" every little vote counts and if you have already voted for my witness : T H A N K Y O U !!!!
