New toys, no time to play
« on: April 17, 2017, 23:37:20 »
Two El-Nikkor, 70 f4 and 50 f2.8. With adapter and M42 focusing helicoid courtesy of Dr. Klaus -amazing piece of equipment, thanks again!-; a Rodenstock 50mm .75 and a  brand new 58mm 1.4.


  All I have time to shoot was my fake flower by the window but I have to share this bliss...and frustation  ;D


   All will be put to use in due time.

Yeah, Paco, I can share your frustration.  Until a couple of days ago, the most of my subject is the cityscape seen from my apartment.  :D

That said, this series should work as nice warming up for serious shooting opportunities that should (hopefully) come up soon!

Thank you guys. Still trying to find some time to finish processing the vacation images from "Valle del Jerte"  :-\


  Akira, I love your series of images from your window. I feel at home there - I hope this translates well- as they are intimate moments and views, subtle in changes that only being there can be appreciated.

   I´ll request one view with 80 to 90% of darker roofs and a line of red sky if you ever feel like it  :)

Paco, thanks for kind words.  The requested scene seems to be pleasing to me, too.  Am looking forward to the opportunity.
