PLAY January - Nikon 50mm f/1.4G: Amaryllis-2

The Amaryllis that I featured in this album and also my 365 album for 25 January has been busy fulfilling its destiny... and how! It has now grown a third flower stem and each stem has grown three more flower head buds. For a 3€ supermarket bargain, it's quite remarkable!

This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: in January it's been the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G on a full-frame camera and tomorrow I'll be moving on to a new prime lens..

I had a three stem last year. Mine is just beginning to open. Tomorrow you use a new lens. Will miss your nifty fifty.

This spectacular show grows and goes from strength to strength.

Love the harsh lighting, makes an interesting contrast with the delicacy of the flowers!
