Story:
For many years we had a small tangerine tree marking the entrance of our house, but it suddenly died. We never knew the reason. And replaced it with a Japanese Maple, however it did not last long. Finally we replaced the upper level of the soil and planted an assortment of succulent plants. They have lasted since last summer and throughout the winter as well.
After this introduction, as we had lockdown, they became the subject. Used my Rollei 6008 with Black and White film, images that I published last September on post Santa Gabriela Garden. Although I used Zeiss prime lenses, which were built with 30+ years old technology, images were not sharp and the film grain produced a soft look.
Soon after my new Sony A7R IV arrived, so I tested it with taking images of the Succulents.
The lens quality paired with the extension rings; I was able to do macro photography. Sharp details where I wanted and beautiful bokeh on the backgrounds.
