Bubbles, all around, bubbles
We had dinner at an Indian fusion restaurant in downtown Sunnyvale, one of the towns in the Silicon Valley. Murphy Ave is now a pedestrian area with outdoor dining due to Covid. This gives a European feel. Too many cities in the USA are owned by cars instead of people. The tree trunks are decorated with lights.
I took this shot with a German made Rodenstock Splendar 100mm f/2.8 lens. I ordered a vintage Braun slide projector just for this lens. I removed the lens and the metal tube that holds the lens from the projector. My son designed and 3D-printed an adapter, which has quite a retro look. The lens is always fully open since it has no diaphragm. It produces a distinct soap bubble bokeh with flat circles, similar to the overhyped & overpriced vintage Meyer Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 lens. See photos of the 3D-printed adapter on the Quality HDR Photography Facebook page at bit.ly/37YTnJ8.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
