PAD-Project: Week #7, Picture #4

I stumbled upon this on our daily walk with Emil, and immediately knew this would be my PAD picture. Not often that you get to see something like this

Lr 3 + Silver Efex Pro @ Ilford FP4 plus 125 + virtual green filter.

PAD #46 | "Old fire engine" | Leica M8 + Biogon 28/2.8 @ f/2.8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 160

PAD-Project: Week #7, Picture #3

So it seems the flowering season is finally over. After the heavy rain in the past days, most flowers were washed off the trees. In our street, the trees look almost naked again … These trees are situated on my way to work, and I noticed the carpet of petals on the ground already yesterday, but didn’t stop to take a picture. Today, even though there wasn’t much light, I snapped a few frames before they’d be washed away by the rain.

PAD #45 | "End of a season" | Leica M8 + Planar 50/2 @ f/2.8, 1/180 sec, ISO 160

Lr 3 + Color Efex Pro @ Kodak Ultra Color 100.
It seems I accidentally forgot to set the aperture back to f/2, which would explain the low amount of background blur …
