Springtime in Texas at all times ends too rapidly after which summer season temperatures mild every little thing on hearth is a completely beautiful time. Crisp mornings, heat however manageable afternoons, and ideal evenings for a couple of drinks with pals on a patio someplace.
Springtime in Texas can also be good for capturing the State Flower of Texas: the bluebonnet. These lovely flowers dot the panorama and unfold from south to north in April, normally peaking within the north Texas city of Ennis (the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas) in mid-April. Over time I’ve made loads of visits out to the Ennis space, because it’s solely 45 minutes south of Dallas, for earlier photos of the week even!

It’s time for some extra bluebonnets!
I went to certainly one of my favourite fields toting some new digicam gear: the Sony A1 and the Fuji GFX100S. They’re the latest additions to my gear bag (I bade a fond farewell to my Sony a7rIV and Fuji GFX100) and I figured the bluebonnets can be a superb probability to place them by means of their paces (properly, I had the GFX100S in Iceland on the volcano, so I suppose that was a reasonably good take a look at already).
I’ve a nasty behavior of at all times defaulting to a wide-angle lens in relation to landscapes (and certainly I introduced my 12-24mm GM lens with me) so I had an concept and introduced alongside my unicorn lens: the huge 400mm f2.8 G Grasp. I usually use that lens for sports activities images or planespotting however thought it would work for the dawn image I wished. For the Fuji I had the trusty 32-64mm f4, an excellent panorama lens though I want it have been a bit wider.
I bought to the sphere and didn’t have a lot time earlier than the highway can be closed for biking race. The bluebonnets have been filling the sphere in properly, and I grabbed a fast story for my Instagram channel.
I put the 400mm on my A1 first, as I used to be wanting ahead to testing the brand new 50-megapixel sensor. The pictures have been completely STUNNING. I beloved the compression of the lengthy telephoto lens and instantly wish to begin utilizing telephotos extra for landscapes. The orb of the rising solar made for a extremely great background I feel.
I turned the digicam vertical to see simply how a lot I may discover the slender depth of subject from that tremendous lens.
I really like the solitary bluebonnet amidst a sea of blue.
I grabbed the Fuji for a extra typical dawn shot and beloved the colours and element that got here from that tremendous 102-megapixel sensor.
General a completely lovely Spring morning right here in north Texas, I hope everyone seems to be having a superb weekend!
