The Little Dogwood

Probably my favorite of the flowering trees on our property. This was Saturday, which turned out to be peak blossoming, fading to yellow Sunday.

More Early Spring Trees

Washingtron, Connecticut

I seldom write any technical notes here but I think this might be interesting. These recent tightly framed views of trees coming into bloom in early spring were made with a Nikkor * ED 180mm f/2.8 lens mounted, with an FTZII adapter, on a Nikon Z7II digital camera. I bought the lens in the early 1980s. It was an important tool for my assignment photography, but every spring I also used it to make pictures very much like these, with Nikon F3 cameras, using Kodachrome film. Granted it was a premium lens 40+ years ago, but I think it's remarkable that it stands up to strict scrutiny of a 45 MP file. Of course you can't see that in a web file 2200 pixels wide, but take my word for it, it's impressive.
