Vintage Poppy

Playing around with the vintage Flektagon lens at Mrs G's mum's rewarded me with some striking images. You might be forgiven for thinking that these are photoshopped, but this is really how they came out, albeit with a little clarity and contrast added for definition.

Must be something wonderful going on in the lens but it almost looked 3d when I first looked at them. I should really work at getting better with the manual focus to really bring the best out of it.

Apparently these Poppies generally only flower for a day or two... seems incredibly sad to be so briefly beautiful but at least I caught this one in the act :)
