Thistles │ GF1 + Leica 45mm F2.8 │ 45mm F4.0 1/400s ISO100Today was the first time that I've actually seen this field of thistles in the bright sunshine. What a difference it makes...

That first photograph is just gorgeous Björn. The light is beautiful. It is also much stronger than the second picture in my opinion.

Enjoy your stay in Köln. Make sure to inform us.

The first shot is amazing. So, A GH2, eh.. I am quite happy with the X1 - Joan

Hi Joan. I can see why you like the Leica X1: you're getting spectacular results. For me, I like the flexibility of being able to change lenses and also want to get back to an EVF and an articulated screen.

Great set of photographs - even better for being B&W

I think the plants are teasel not thistle. It makes a great subject for macro photography.

Thanks. You are right; they are indeed teasels and not thistles.
