The hops sent a runner about 1.5 metres along the stones and up a half

metre to wrap itself around the low hanging cherry branch.



This is a crop, about 35% I suppose, of an image from the Olympus OM-D

E-M1 with the 75mm f/1.8 lens attached. It's a sharp lens and I was

using it mostly with manual focus. (I can't remember whether I had it

in AF or MF here.) I do remember I had decided to try adjusting the

white balance and had this one set at "Cloudy"; the main purpose of

that setting seems to be to jack up the saturation levels. Nicely,

though. I added a little curves management to the picture, too.
