Black & White palm tree reflections

palm tree reflections · **5 Likes**

whilst on holiday I tried out an old M42 mount Pentacon 50mm f1.8 lens that came as part of a bundle that I was given - I have never used any M42 lenses on my K3 so stuck an adaptor on and started shooting..this lens is a bit 'fluffy' at f1.8 but at f2.8 it seems to give a nice effect....

Now that shot is the epitome of . . . . . cool.

A perfect cover for a jazz album.

Thanks for sharing.

A fine classy image this one, very film noir feeling about it.

Exceptional portrait. Bokeh, lighting, composition....all tops! I wish I had taken that photo.

Awesome pic. Like a shot from a David Lynch film.
