Leafy halation (vintage)
Again, more of a mood piece and an oldie but goody, for me. This was about my first real contact with vintage glass (on digital).
Maybe you can tell, this is the same spot, but not exactly the same composition as this one, only shot wide open:

Used at f/1.7 the lens flares quite a bit around bright stuff and the vignetting is pronounced, even on a DX body. Way back in the day I hadn't really much appreciation for these type of things, including the unique (Minolta) color rendering, so much so, that I didn't even consider keeping the source for this photo, even though it's just a tiny 12,3MP D90 RAW file!
In a weird way, this makes it kind of extra special for me, because I only have the legacy-developed JPG.
Nikon D90 (APS-C crop sensor)
MD ROKKOR 50mm f/1.7 prime
Fotodiox Pro MD - Nik adapter
ISO640, 50mm, f/8, 1/80 sec
(thus 75mm full frame equivalent)
single photo, manual, handheld
