[Leica] IMG: First almond blossoms (showing full frame original image)

[Adam Bridge]

Okay - here’s the base image - downsized to 90% since 100% is over my per/image SmugMug limit.

If you click on the image it’ll expand to 1:1.

I’m not sure I really like the bokeh of the 250 here. 

f 4.0
1/250th
ISO 500

It was breezy that day. The OIS is quite good: both in-body and in-lens stabilization going on.
