Exploring the avenues opened up by the überfast Rodenstock TV-Heligon 50mm f/0.75 shooting a  blue-hour scene at 22 PM hand-held, ISO 100, with the full-spectrum Nikon Z5. Filtration set up to emulate false-colour infrared film, IE 2443.

The lens continues to surprise me with its performance. Once it was maligned as a crap optic ... food for thought indeed. Depth-of-field at f/0.75 definitely is restricted, but for scenes ~100m away one can get most of it into passable focus.

Haha!

Meanwhile (with curious WB I couldn't resolve) a mass snail breakout at the market

It is the season for snails in the south of Spain. You can get them in many places. The latest fashion is a glass full of them cooked and in sauce. Cultural mileage may vary... ;)

I'll like to have more time in my hands to go do what I like, pictures for example... Here, as Colin pointed, jacaranda trees are taking the stage.

Ahh, I saw a few people with what looked like a wide-bowl wine glass, filled with a dark liquid & lots of blobs.
Thank you for explaining Paco.

You're right, my tastes don't have the mileage to extend to trying this local delicacy ;)

....but I could never get tired of the sight (or the aroma) of these :)
