Still doing digital, but I have a growing interest in film. We'll see how it works out. This is a shot I took last summer. All comments/suggestions much appreciated.

Beautiful shot Philip. Great color and subject ground separation. It is gorgeous.

Hard for me to imagine giving up digital and the level of control it provides but looking at this I can certainly appreciate the other approach.

Film? How retro!

Great capture of the bright pink and such a good bg for the subject, too. Nice one Philip.

Phil: These guys just don't know how much fun it is to shoot with an M7. Alas the only time I seem to use mine anymore is when I need the wide angle that only comes with full frame. As for this image I like it a lot. You get bonus points just for it being a cone flower. Spot on exposure as well. Nicely done. >=))>

The center of interest is sharp and good handling of the DOF.
Well done, Philip.
