Delicious colours and sharpness Joel; wonderful pictures overall. I
am not sure I see your preference for the 35-80, but then I have not
paid for one ;-).
Do you use a dark background, or is the background naturally dark? I
have a small Lastolite reflector with a black reverse. I might get
the larger one to help with composition.
If it were not pi**ing with rain here I would be outside with my E-1
and 90/2 ... and OM-4/Provia/90/2. We have some enormous red poppies
in the garden.
