I have been following Dr. Klaus Schmitt's rich images of flowers taken with interesting lenses and distinctive Bokeh, from bubbles to ground glass smooth.
Having a Sony A7R and a helical mount for M42 mount lenses, allows use of vintage lenses that can be had for buttons to gold bullion according to status and cult values.
I went after a genuine Pentax 85mm f 1.9 which has a great reputation for being sharp stopped down and fab bokeh opened up.
So here's a trio of pictures with different bokeh effect based on the background and character of the light.
Asher Kelman: Roses stolen from other folks gardens: A trio
Sony A7R Pentax 85mm 1.9 on helical macro mount
My wife noted that these could be a better bet than shooting beautiful women. They don't need to be paid or fed or need a parking space.
Still, I'm old fashioned. Something about a beautiful woman that flowers even with all their scent can't deliver!
