Finally remembered to lower the iso on the Q



I just thought it looked like a crow and for an extra a pic of the flower I actually went to photograph when I saw the crow

Played with extension tube. I thought I had used B&W from these headphones more often in SIC, as they have been my regular practice target, but only twice before.

K1ii M50/2 ISO100 f4 0.3s 2/3" extension tube, on tripod:


M85/2 & M35/2 shots if someone is interested.

Kind of studio at home this morning (bad weather outside), and shot my grand-father's camera (out of use), F4 DA 35 mm f2.4
pp in Darktable (I am on the way to create a Flickr account, sorry then)

Ugly weather and I caught a cold, so indoor shot today. SMC-DA21. I don't like that stain of light but couldn't do much to get rid of it (any suggestions are welcome).

Firework day. K3 with Super Takumar 55/2



And gave it a try on the Sony Nex 5r this morning. The focus peaking is pretty good.

I took an early walk with Bailey and got the best light of the day. Once again I had the M 135mm f3.5 on the K3. I don't know if I am getting more from the K3 because I am more comfortable with it or it is more compatible with old glass but I am having a ball with the 135mm, and so far, no tantrums. The first pic is an example of isolation. The second was a bit of luck when the backlit subject cycled into view, and the third is a long shot of a distant memorial and moody clouds. If the weather is OK tomorrow I want to see what the bokeh is like

I had this beer and decided not to go out in the dark for some late night shot with the Vivitar 28mm 1:2 Close focus wide angle. This is @f2.4

Another table-top macro shot, somewhat silly this time.

I promise to take the K50/4 out into the wild tomorrow...

A late evening afterthought. There is a lot of green in my images so far this month. Have some different colours
