Tulip Frenzy

Tulum, Quintana Roo.  A vintage bug worth circling back to photograph.  Leica M, 50mm Summilux, ISO 3200.

Same night, a range of emotions.  Merida, Yucatan. Leica M, 50mm Summilux.

And moments later…

Tulum ruins.  Leica M, 50mm Summilux with ND filter, shot wide open from a bit of a distance.

Merida, Yucatan.  Leica M, 50mm Summilux.

UPDATE: A faithful Tulip Frenzy reader, and excellent photographer, Chap Jackson, emailed to say he thought the headless person at the left of the above photograph kind of messed it up.  So after careful consideration, we decided to try it his way.

Because of the new dimensions, some havoc was played with the lighting, especially that really bright light just above the painter’s head.  But we messed around a bit, and got something we like.

What do you think? Which is the better approach?
