Assorted Autumn Photos from an Afternoon Stroll (8 photos)
Posted By: Rense, 10-31-2010, 09:55 AM

With the Single in November challenge at the doorstep, I wanted to try the lens I picked myself for the upcoming month: the SMC Pentax-A 135mm F2.8. I don't find this an easy length: not a real tele, imo, and not a thing for indoors. But with the nice weather of this afternoon, and the autumn colours at their best in our neck of the woods, I thought I should give it a try. Gives me the opportunity to change my choice if necessary. But coming back, selecting my photos, I think I can live with this one from tomorrow for next month. Let November come!

Great series Rense!
The light was very beautiful today.

I like them all, but I love that first picture

p.s. Zie je wel dat de inspiratie vanzelf komt
Thank you Iris. Yes, it was a great day, better than today, I'd say... And I knew you'd like that first one....

Lovely. Love the ones titled Reformanda, Hike, and Psychodelica really do it for me. Nice work. I always enjoy your postings.

Stunning series! I find Reformanda and Hike especially appealing. I'm literally drawn into the photos, it feels like I'm there!
Thanks!

Very nice work Rense. I particularly like the shots with the fine bokeh. The bokeh in the tractor looks unreal. What I like about such a prime lens (135, F2.8) is that you can shoot into the sun as with the girls shot, and you can observe whether it will flare or not, because the hood is specifically designed for the focal length.
Thank you JMR! I think the bokeh in the tractor shot was affected by the PP....

Excellent as always, Rense. My favorites are the ones with water, as well as the Hedera Helix-- beautiful bokeh. Well done.
Thanks Tamia!

As always Rense, excellent photography but that first one is a masterpiece.
Thanks . There are some flaws in that particular one though. But it's the one I like best too....

Psychedelica is my favorite in this group, although the similar shot with a female mallard is also pleasing. Curious that you got doughnut-like - perhaps "bubble-like" - highlights in that first photo. Almost looks like a mirror lens shot. That's not a criticism, just an observation.
Thanks! Yes, I wondered about that too! Probably the effect is more pronounced through my PP, but it was there when I imported the photo into LR... Don't know why and how....

Very enjoyable, as always, my friend. I like each one, but I especially dig the first one.

Thank you Jer! Said it before, that first one is my favourite too...
