Flower Photo Competition 3 2013 : Entry Number 714
Photographers Comment
My name is Alex Nichol, and I'm from the North of England. This was actually a test shot using my grandfather's old Helios 44-2 58mm lens on my Canon EOS 450D. I'd always been captivated by the images it made, and wanted to recreate some of the atmosphere I remembered from old pictures - something I've found almost impossible to recreate with any other lens. I barely post-process any of my images (aside from cropping and B&W conversion), and I'm not a pro photographer by any stretch of the imagination!
