Artisans-in-the-Garden-1 (SONY ILCE-7R Voigtlander NOKTON 40mm F1.2 Aspherical [40mm,f1.2,1/1250s,ISO100]) This is the seventh of a series of articles showcasing pictures taken on the Voigtländer Nokton 40mm 1:1.2. These pictures were taken at a showcase of Australian artists and makers at the historic Lion Gate Lodge at the Royal Botanic Gardens called “Artisans in the Garden.”
Built in 1878, Lion Gate Lodge is a stunning Victorian sandstone building boasting a private landscaped cottage garden, large permanent awning and paved courtyard.
This event is a good showcase of the len’s ability to isolate subject detail from surroundings, and it’s contrast and colour handling.
