Springtime - A Journey Into Macro Space. Ein Film von Gunther Machu

When spring had arrived , I thought about showing the beauty of nature, landscapes, ...

But then I realized that on a macro scale, it's incredible what is going on which you normally never realize!

I started initially to just reverse mount my 50mm f1.4 lens (taping it to the adapter on my Lumix GH1), but then for quality reasons I bought a used 50mm f3.5 FD macro lens with a 25mm extender.

Almost everything was filmed in my garden, apart from the first sequence which was on a small hill very close to my house - I realized that the flowers there became extremely rare and are under severe protection! Just in the middle of Vienna ...

Fascinating - hope you enjoy my take on that!
