I am passionate about vintage lenses, abusing background blur and infrared photography. So here are almost all my photo passions in one single photo.

An example of Planar bokeh. Some color tonning is done with Darktable. Not that I do not like original combination of lens and Nikon standard presset, but tI eas in this mood when I "develloped" the photo.
This photo is a little surprise. It was not the view initially sought, but I was impressed by the bokeh generated by chains! This is the kind of unexpected that I particularly like in the photograph !
The hardy privet (Ligustrum) shows its beauty in front of a yellow blooming witch hazel (Hamamelis) presenting flame like structures in the winter sun on noon.
And here is the legend of this lens for the optical enthusiast:
(Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar 4.0 300mm on Sony A7 series): In an advertising paper by Carl Zeiss from the 80ˋs Zeiss itself describes the lens as follows:“ The relative high weight of this lens has a positive effect on free hand held captures“ (🤔1720g means 0,00172 tons! Wow! Greetings to the supposed author of this Zeiss text Arnold Schwarzenegger💪😁): For a more feather weighted tiny person like me that means, crouch down, hold tide this glassy stove pipe and... either you succeed with a really good photo or you end up kissing the ground in about 2 seconds😂😂😂. But the serious part is that the Tessar series by Carl Zeiss is a legendary lens series, known for its sharpness, these are the so called "eagles eyes“. They donˋt show the same 3D-effect as their "Sonnar" or „Planar“ collegues and not allways these fantastic close-up possibilities due to their lack of „floating elements“, but perform very good in the long distances for which they are built for. This photo demonstrates even its performance in some closer range. Good copies of them are rare to get nowadays. P.S. Later Zeiss built the lighter MM version with 1200g.
