Tulips 2010

Those photos were taken in National Bihoku Hills Park located in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Garden condition in 2010 there was not so good and almost all flowers were low height, mono colored ones and it was difficult for me to make fine composition in terms of color combinations. I tried to make fantastic composition as much as possible with my every single knowledge and technique.
Photos from 11 through 13 were take with Carl Zeiss Planar T* 85mm F1.4 MMJ + Kenko AC (Achromatic) Close-up Lens. Planer is famous for portrait but has another character when used for macro photography with close-up lens attached. This combination produces unique world where there is no border between air and objects. This character drastically varies by aperture value.
