Taken at Van Diemen Tulip Farm in October 2008 during the annual Bloomin’ Tulips Festival.
Back then, i was still using my D80 and was contemplating an upgrade to a D700 with a ‘Prime Only’ set up. Had my eyes on the Carl Zeiss Distagon 35mm f2. So, to see if i can survive with a prime only kit, i went to the farm with my Tokina 12-24mm set at 24mm throughout the whole photoshoot (to roughly match 35mm in full frame). I was quite happy with the end result, took a few decent pictures…..not great but i was satisfied.
This shot was one of my favorite from the series. I see innocence in this image.
…..oh by the way, i have since upgraded to a D700 and a few primes. Through a series of unfortunate (or fortunate) events, i didn’t end up getting the Carl Zeiss…..
