Yesterday's infra-red imaging seemed to strike a chord, so here's another one.



K5 (Full Spectrum Converted) + Soligor 28/2.8 @ f8 + Hoya R72 filter.

K1 + Tomioka Auto Revuenon 55/1.2. Perfect sunny conditions at last for showing off why I wanted this lens.

As Torben demonstrated many moons ago on a SIC with his version, it's not the blur that's incredible about the Revuenon, (IMO), it's more about the way it renders and pulls out bokehgons. Torben posted some photos that looked like he was taking a photo down a magical tunnel, and this photo above (although not a beautiful as Torben's) has similar characteristics. It's not a tunnel - it's just a hedge on a street.

As it's Monochrome Bokeh Thursday, I've processed it accordingly. (I'll save the colour version for a rainy day).

Youngsters for today- K-30 with the Tammy 70-300mm


And part of my new charge these days. After a week at school and the new shelter, they are settling down, though some are still wanting to go back to where they come from, not a viable option. K-30 with the FA 35-80mm

Another sunset, this one was freezing literally with this morning's sprinkling of snow still lying in the shadows. K10D with SMC Takumar 35/3.5 I'm still not totally convinced about the new version's focusing to infinity so maybe it's the camera. I'll try it on something else at the weekend.



A highland cow



And a safety selfie from this morning that I quite like. Ricoh Theta SC

working outside, -12c

A tree grew in Manhattan.... As seen in my wanderings today with the GRii

Changed up the lights and no composites today.. too much work to do before bed.

HD Pentax D-FA 15-30mm f2.8 ED SDM WR with some hard overhead light and a low key background....

K-5 IIs with Mamiya Macro Sekor 60mm f2.8

No artistic juices flowing so a little field of view comparison between two 35mm lenses, very imprecise but interesting. K-3ii with Pentax-A 645 35mm f3.5 on the top and K3ii with Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited on the bottom.

For completeness sake a quick phone snap of a camera sensor giving some pretty cool reflections. The Full spectrum conversion hasn't quite gone to plan, I may now have a brick... the shutter mechanism seems to have gone wrong which is odd as I didn't have to go near that. I will continue on trying to revive it.
