Cyclamen season

It’s been a while since I posted a proper post exclusive for flower photography. This time, the season set me to focus on a specific species. The Cyclamen.

Blooming in forests and woods anywhere between December and all through March, Cyclamen spread out into vast carpets of pink and white.

Although the overall impression is nice, getting in close to get the details is what I thought of doing as I came across a field of Cyclamen with my camera.

Most of the images I took felt much better with a 50-150mm lens, and an open aperture which created a nice focus and soft blurred background. All images taken with my Olympus e-420.

I post processed one of the images into black and white, and liked the result enough to get a printed 40x60cm version of it up on my living room wall.
