Title: Electric Fertility Goddess
Post by: Andrea B. on April 19, 2016, 03:57:52
The Venus of Middletown, which dates to the early 21st centuary, ca 2016, was discovered in a ceremonial area of a suburban home in the state of New Jersey. She is made of glass and metal, glows electric orange-red and appears to wear a round amulet. Although this example is armless, her legs are strong. It is thought such figures were used in annual Solstice celebrations and revered as providers of light and life.

This is fantastic!  Good to know that she brings light and life and is not the terminator of the latest type.

That was an XR-Heligon 50/0.75 which weights 2.5 pounds. Quite the chunk. I do not know what quirk of this lens causes the interesting light patterns. Maybe they all do this? I only have the one in working condition. My other one remains mountless.

I don't always see these patterns while I'm shooting with this thing because it takes two hands to maneuver this lens when mounted. So I just look for cool light patterns and fire away. If I "see" something while shooting, I go with it. Sometimes I "see" the inspiration later as I did with Electric Goddess.

Rodenstockography is fun, isn't it?  8) Thanks everyone for stopping by.

SHE ... is not harmless.
Holding her weapon, considered an amulet.
Arms crouched close to the body, target found.
Ready to discharge.
She is a trillion nanobots...
