3547 - Orangerie and Chimney


Once more we see the second of the two orangeries, the one with the draperies.

The Image of the Day was taken with the 9-18 at 9 mm, the other one with the 60/2.8.

It’s funny that I once sold that macro and finally re-bought it when Amazon had a deal. But then, today I think much more in lens combinations than in absolute focal lengths. Sure, 60/2.8 could be seen as redundant between 45/1.8 and 75/1.8, especially when one does not take macro images, but now I just see it as a lighter alternative to the 75.

Well, maybe these are the rationalization games I began to play, once the number of lenses surpassed what I was willing to carry 😄
