There's a three week window during late spring when the California poppies bloom throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills here in California. This image was taken at Big Bar Road where it crosses hwy 49 at The Mokelumne river. I live up the canyon about 8 miles from here, and from my back deck I can see huge orange patches of the blooming poppies up and down the canyon. Pretty spectacular
Photo taken with my Fuji GFX 50R and vintage Nikon Series E 100mm f2.8. I love this lens. It is small, light, and very, very sharp stopped down from about f4 to f11. It almost completely covers the medium format sensor on the Fuji GFX 50R with just a very small amount of cropping needed. It is a manual focus lens which I love. It's always in my camera bag, and I use it with the Fuji GFX 50R and also my Nikon Z5 using $20.00 adapters from Fotasy.
