Quite a few reviews of this lens on pentax forums mention purple fringing. These are intentionally bad shots trying to force the purple fringe. There are not many reviews on this lens for other cameras, so I wanted to see if I could experience the same problem on my Nikon mount. I couldn't get it to show up noticably.
I did some greenish/yellow in this shot.
For this drawing I first covered the paper with gesso and than I used silver wire to draw with to imitate the old tradition of drawing with silverpoint.
Nandi (Sanskrit: नन्दी, Tamil: நந்தி, Telugu: న౦ది) is the name for the bull which serves as the mount (Sanskrit: Vahana) of the god Shiva and as the gatekeeper of Shiva and Parvati. In Hindu Religion, he is the chief guru of eighteen masters (18 siddhas) including Patanjali and Thirumular. Temples venerating Shiva display stone images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine. There are also a number of temples dedicated solely to Nandi.
The application of the name Nandi to the bull (Sanskrit: vṛṣabha) is in fact a development of recent centuries, as Gouriswar Bhattacharya has documented in an illustrated article entitled "Nandin and Vṛṣabha". The name Nandi was earlier widely used instead for an anthropomorphic deity who was one of Shiva’s two door-keepers, the other being Mahākāla. The doorways of pre-tenth-century North Indian temples are frequently flanked by images of Mahākāla and Nandi, and it is in this role of Shiva’s watchman that Nandi figures in Kālidāsa’s poem the Kumārasambhava.
ETYMOLOGY
The word “Nandi” is believed to be derived from the ancient word “Pandi” meaning bull or its has origins in the Sanskrit language where it means 'of Shiva', 'attendant of Shiva', or happy.
BIRTH OF NANDI
There was a Sage named Shilada who underwent severe penance to have a boon - A child with immortality. Lord Indra pleased of the austerities of Shilada appeared in front of him to offer a boon. After hearing the request of Shilada and his desire to have an immortal child, Lord Indra suggested him to pray to Lord Shiva who could provide the boon; nobody else could provide such a boon. Sage Shilada continued his penance for thousand years. He was totally immovable for many years, so the termites settled on his body and slowly started to build up their nest. Finally, his whole body was covered up by them. The insects started to eat his flesh and imbibed his blood. At last, only bones remained. Lord Shiva appeared in front of him and provided the boon for an immortal child. Moreover, Lord Shiva provided Sage Shilada his old form with a single touch. Sage Shilada performed Yagna and a child appeared from the sacrificial fire. His body was clad in armour made out of diamonds. The celestial dancers and singers performed on this auspicious occasion and the deities showered flowers on the child. The boy was named ’Nandi’ - who brings joy. Shilada brought the child home, immediately the boy lost his divine appearance to an ordinary child. The child completely forgot all about his birth. Sage Shilada was worried about the sudden change. He devoted his time for the bringing up the child, his education etc. By the age of seven the boy was well versed in Veda and all sacred texts. One day the two deities - Mitra and Varuna visited Sage Shilada. At the first sight of the boy, they commented: Though the boy had all auspicious signs, he would have a very short life. The boy would not live after the age of eight. Sage Shilada was mortified at this remark. Nandi could not bear his father's sorrow, he began to pray to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva appeared before him and blessed him. Lord Shiva adorned the boy with a necklace around his neck which he was wearing, and made him immortal. Lord Shiva blessed the child and declared that he would be worshiped along with Him and become his vahana(vehicle). Immediately the boy got all the divine powers and transformed into half bull-half human. Then he and Shilada went to Lord Shiva 's abode to live.
IN HINDUISM
Bulls appear on the Indus Valley seals, including the 'Pasupati Seal', which depicts a seated figure, and according to some scholars is similar to Shiva. However, most scholars agree that the horned bull on the Indus Valley seals is not identical to Nandi.
The various descriptions on Nandi in the Hindu Religion texts include:
Some Puranas describe Nandi or Nandikeshvara as bull faced with a human body that resembles that of Shiva- in proportion and aspect, although with four hands, two hands holding the Parasu (the axe) and Mruga (the antelope) and the other two hands joined together in the Anjali(obeisance). Brahma Vaivarta Purana mentions Krishna himself to have taken the form of a bull as no one else in the Universe can bear Shiva.
Vehicle of Shiva: The bull Nandi is Shiva's primary vehicle and is the principal gana (follower) of Shiva.
Gate keeper of Shiva's abode: The close association of Shiva and Nandi explains the presence of a statue of Nandi at the gate of many temples dedicated to Shiva. It also explains why the word "nandi" in the Kannada, Telugu and Tamil languages is used as a metaphor for a person blocking the way. In Sanskrit, a bull is called "vrisha", which has another connotation - that of righteousness or Dharma. It is important to seek the blessings of Nandi before proceeding to worship Lord Shiva.
Chief in Shiva's army: Some Puranas mention that Nandi lead the Shiva Ganas, Shiva's attendants.
A Guru of Saivism: In addition to being his mount, Nandi is Shiva's foremost disciple. In the Natha/Siddhar tradition, Nandi is one of the primal gurus. He was the guru to Siddhar Thirumulanathar, Patanjalinathar and others.
From the yogic perspective, Nandi/Nandhi/ Nandikeshvara is the mind dedicated to Lord Siva, the Absolute. In other words, to understand and absorb Light, the 'experience and the wisdom' is Nandi which is the Guru within.
Spiritually, Nandi represents an individual jiva (soul) and the message that the jiva should always be focussed on the Atman (Paramatman).
LEGENDS
According to some puranas, Nandi was born to sage Shilada who got him by the grace of Shiva.
It was Nandi who cursed Ravana (the demon King of Lanka) that his kingdom would be burnt by a monkey (Vanara). And later Hanuman burnt Lanka when he went in search of Sita, who was kept prisoner by Ravana in Ashok Vatika. In one puranic story, it is stated that once Siva and Parvathi were playing a game of dice. For any game there has to be an umpire, who has to declare who is the winner. Siva and Parvathi agreed to have Nandi (the divine bull) as the umpire. Nandi is a favorite of Siva, as he is Siva's vehicle. Although Siva lost the game, Nandi declared him the winner. It is stated that Parvathi was indignant over Nandi's partiality for Siva and cursed him that he should die from an incurable disease. Thereupon Nandi fell at the feet of Parvathi and pleaded for forgiveness. "Mother forgive me. Should I not show at least this amount of gratitude to one who is my master? Is it not humiliating for me to declare that my master has lost the game? To uphold his honor I no doubt uttered a lie. But am I to be punished with such severity for so small an offence?" Nandi prayed for forgiveness in this manner. Parvathi forgave Nandi and taught him the means to atone for his lapse. She told him. "The Chaturdasi day in the month of Bhadrapada is the day when my son's birthday is celebrated. On that day you have to offer to my son what pleases you most (green grass)". This means that one atones for one's sins when one offers to the Lord what is most pleasing and enjoyable to him. For Nandi the most enjoyable and relishing food is green grass. As directed by Parvathi Nandi worshipped Ganapathi by offering green grass. Nandi was then relieved of his dreaded disease. His health improved and by the grace of Parvathi he was redeemed.
When the positive forces, the devas, and the negative forces, the asuras, joined together on a rare occasion to churn the ocean with a mountain to obtain the nectar of immortality they utilized Vasuki, the serpent, as the rope. The devas pulled from one end and the asuras from the other. Lots of precious herbs and gems were produced during the Churning and one of them was a poison (halāhala) which became human karma. This "poison" was so dangerous that none of the devas or asuras wanted to go near it. It was extremely sticky and coming into contact with this poison, i.e., human karma, would drag the divinity down to the realms of human suffering and ego. As everyone else ran away, Lord Siva, followed by Nandi, came forward to help as he was the only one who could counteract this deadly poison. Siva took the poison into his hand and drank it, the descent of the poison was in turn stopped at His throat, by His divine consort. Siva is therefore also known as Nīlakaṇṭha (the blue-throated one) and Viṣakaṇṭha (the poison-throated one). Nandi saw some of the poison spill out of Siva's mouth and immediately drank if off the ground. The devas and asuras watching were shocked and wondered aloud what would happen to Nandi. Lord Siva calmed their fears saying, "Nandi has surrendered into me so completely that he has all my powers and my protection".

I thought the sign on the side of this Liquor Store was rather amusing. The sign reads,"The Last Liquor Store To New York City Via Interstate 87." Yes, if you get on I-87 and drive directly to New York City and you never leave the highway, this is the last liquor store. The trip point to point is well over two hundred miles. I wonder how many tourists returning home to New York City became new patrons because of this sign. Buy a case for the road! I imaged this scene along Route 9 in Warrensburg, New York, USA, in the southern Adirondacks. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 27A SP 28-80mm f3.5-4.2 CF Macro Lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A Mount on Pentax K20D camera, hand held, manually focused, Shake Reduction set to 85mm focal length, ISO 400, f22, 1/125 sec, with available ambient light.

Ab Ostern gilt in Berlin Alarmstufe Rot, jedenfalls im Bikini. Die schicke Mall ist Schauplatz für eine Ausstellung, wie sie die Stadt noch nicht gesehen hat. Der Londoner Fotograf Thomas Knights hat die heißesten rothaarigen Männer der ganzen Welt fotografiert. Und wer jetzt darüber stolpert, die Worte heiß und rothaarig in einem Zusammenhang zu finden, der kennt Knights‘ Bilder noch nicht.
Für die Ausstellung, die bereits in London, New York und Sydney für großes Aufsehen sorgte und nun in Berlins schickster Mall, dem Bikini, gezeigt wird, hat Thomas Knights nicht einfach nur Models porträtiert. Wie er im Herbst dem Magazin MÄNNER sagte, wurde er als Kind und Jugendlicher wegen seiner roten Haare gemobbt – ein Schicksal, das viele Leidensgenossen teilen. „Rote Haare wurden als etwas Schlimmes angesehen. Kinder picken sich ja immer den heraus, der anders ist. Und Rothaarige haben keine Community, auf deren Unterstützung sie zurückgreifen können.“ Darum wollte Knights etwas schaffen, worauf Ginger Men, wie sie in England heißen, stolz sein können. „Aus roten Haaren eine coole Marke machen - das war der Anstoß für die Ausstellung.“ Das hat er binnen kürzester Zeit erreicht.
Das Buch „RED HOT 100“ erschien im September 2014 (Bruno Gmünder) und hat wegen des großen Erfolgs bereits die 3. Auflage erreicht. Die gleichnamige Ausstellung kommt nun endlich nach Berlin. Auf einer 400 qm großen Ausstellungsfläche werden über 100 faszinierende Bilder gezeigt.
Das Grand Opening findet Ostersamstag, 04. April 2015, von 16 Uhr bis 20 Uhr, in der Bikini Concept Mall statt.
Für Musik sorgen Brodanse. Die berühmten DJ-Brüder, natürlich rothaarig, bespielen Clubs und Festivals in Europa und Asien.
Außerdem haben sich angesagt: die RED HOT-Models Ken Beck, der auf dem Cover provokant seine Zunge zeigt, sowie Jake Hold und natürlich der Fotograf selber, Thomas Knights.
„Die attraktivsten Rothaarigen, die wir je gesehen haben“, jubelte die australische ELLE über seine Fotos. Und SPIEGEL ONLINE schwärmte: „Wir brauchen einen rothaarigen James Bond.“
Die Ausstellung RED HOT : BERLIN dauert vom 04. April 2015 bis zum 03. Mai 2015.

OPENING RED HOT:BERLIN - A city sees red, 2015
From Easter, Berlin will be on red alert, at least at Bikini. The chic mall is the setting for an exhibition the likes of which the city has never seen before. London photographer Thomas Knights has photographed the hottest red-haired men in the world. And anyone who stumbles across the words hot and ginger in the same context has not yet seen Knights' pictures.
For the exhibition, which has already caused a sensation in London, New York and Sydney and is now being shown in Berlin's chicest mall, the Bikini, Thomas Knights has not just taken portraits of models. As he told MÄNNER magazine in autumn, he was bullied as a child and teenager because of his red hair - a fate shared by many of his fellow sufferers. ‘Red hair was seen as something bad. Children always pick out those who are different. And redheads don't have a community to fall back on for support.’ That's why Knights wanted to create something that ginger men, as they are known in England, could be proud of. ‘Turning red hair into a cool brand - that was the impetus for the exhibition.’ He achieved this in a very short space of time.
The book ‘RED HOT 100’ was published in September 2014 (Bruno Gmünder) and has already reached its 3rd edition due to its great success. The exhibition of the same name is now finally coming to Berlin. Over 100 fascinating pictures will be shown on a 400 square metre exhibition space.
The Grand Opening will take place on Easter Saturday, April 4, 2015, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., in the Bikini Concept Mall.
Music will be provided by Brodanse. The famous DJ brothers, redheaded of course, play clubs and festivals in Europe and Asia.
Also in attendance: the RED HOT models Ken Beck, who provocatively shows his tongue on the cover, as well as Jake Hold and of course the photographer himself, Thomas Knights.
“The most attractive redheads we've ever seen,” exclaimed Australia's ELLE about his photos. And SPIEGEL ONLINE raved: “We need a red-headed James Bond.”
The exhibition RED HOT: BERLIN lasts from April 4th, 2015 to May 3rd, 2015.

On the history of women's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
1897
Conservative journalist A.F. Seligmann founded the art school for women and girls and taught there as a single teacher 16 students in the "Curs for head and act". 1898 expands the school: Tina Blau, a former teacher of the Munich artists association conducts 1.1.1898 a "Curs for landscape and still-life", which she held until 1915. Richard Kauffungen was nominated for sculpture, Ludwig Michalek led the "Curs for head and act" as well as an Radierkurs (etching course), Adolf Böhm the course for decorative and applied arts, Fabiani teaches ornamentation and style of teaching as well as "Modern home furnishings", Georg Klimt taught metalwork, Friedrich King wood cutting art and Hans Tichy from 1900 the drawing and painting from the living model. In all these teachers are moderate modern artists from the area of the Secession. The theoretical lectures are held in the company founded by Emil Zuckerkandl and Julius Tandler 1900 "Association of Austrian university lecturers Athenaeum", which had the task to be "an educational institution for members of the female sex". The first school year was completed with 64 students, the school is rapidly expanding, so that it forms 200-300 students annually within a few years. The steady growth is due to the restrictive attitude of the public schools of art (especially the academy) towards women, but also from the indiscriminate admission of which have been blamed all the private schools also on the part of women harshly, and just by women.
1904
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of the many requests for opening the Academy for students once again putting the old arguments against that women are rarely equipped with creative spirit in the field of great art and the other a "proliferation of dilettantism and a pushing back of male members" is to be feared. Just the idea of a joint education had "abhorred" the College. The Academy therefore advocates for the financial support of the art school for women and girls, and rejects the application for opening the academy for women unanimously. The main argument for the impossibility of the joint Aktzeichnens (nude drawing) and the need for a second Aktsaales (nude hall) is increasingly mentioned, which cannot be realized because lack of space and lack of money. Henni Lehmann (Artistic studies of women, Darmstadt 1913) countered the same argument in Germany: "The common nude studies of women and men can not be described as impossible as it is done in many places, without having shown any grievances". The objection of the Quorum of the Berlin University professors that no teacher could be forced to teach women at all in such delicate subjects is countered that the problem was easily solved by entrusting a lady the Aktunterricht (nude drawing) in ladies. Suitable artists were plentiful present. That the life drawing for a long time (until 1937) remained problematic, shows the application of the renowned sculptor Teresa F. Ries of 1931, in which she was offering the Academy her services for the purpose of the management of a yet to be affiliated department, where young girls separated from the young men could work under the direction of a woman. The application was not even put to a vote.
1912
The rector of the Munich Academy also does not believe in the inclusion of students (female ones): "... it is impossible, even with regard to the space conditions, apart from that that the aspirations of the artists who devote themselves to the arts especially are usually others than that of women..."
1913
No significant change in attitude can be found between the opinions of the Academies from 1904 and those of 1913.
1919
In the report from the College's meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Teaching is communicated that against the requested admission there were no fundamental objections, but that the Academy is so limited in spatial relationship, that after the experiences of the last entrance exams not even the majority of gifted young artists, capable of studying, could be included, and therefore, in case of the admission of women to the study initially had to be made a considerable expansion. The State Office counters that a further delay in the admission of women to the academic study could not be justified and that approval is to allow at least temporarily in a narrow frame.
1920
The State Office for the Interior and Education officially approved the admission of women to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (since 1919 women were admitted to all faculties of the University of Vienna, with the exception of the Catholic and Protestant Theological Faculty).
A committee consisting of the professors Bacher, Delug, Schmutzer, and Jettmar Muellner claims that the Academy has never pronounced in principle against women's studies but have always only expressed reservations because of the cramped space and financial situation. As a complete novelty proves that no more concerns are raised with regard to coeducation. Men and women should compete in the entrance examination. In the winter semester 1920/21 will be included 14 women, of course, representing only a small minority in relation to the 250 male students.
1926/1927
In the new study regulations are for the first time mentioned Schüler (M) and Schülerinnen (F).
March 1927
Report of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts about the experiences regarding the access of women to universities: ..."in past years it was thought for the education of women and girls by the Academy of Women for Liberal and Applied Art, which is also equipped with academic classes and by the State subsidized, sufficiently having taken precautions: during a period of almost seven years of study, it was probably possible to get a clear picture about the access applications of women, and about the degree course ... Of course, the number of female candidates in the painting is strongest, weaker in sculpture, and very low in the architecture. As much already now can be said, that in no way in terms of education in the new admissions the women are left behind the male candidates. During the study period, the female students are not in diligence and seriousness of studying behind their male colleagues. Particularly gratifying can be emphasized that because of the co-education of both sexes in common rooms in the individual schools a win-win situation for everybody was. In the master schools the College was repeatedly able also honouring women with academic prices. Subsuming, it should be emphasized that our experiences with the study of women in the Academy of Fine Arts were quite favorable."
The number of students (Studentinnen) increased from 5 % in the winter semester 1920/1921 till 1939/1940 to about 25 %. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, the number of students (Studentinnen) decreased. The proportion of female students rose after 1940 naturally, reached during the war years up to 70 % and amounted 1945/1946 to 65%. From 1946/1947 the number of students (Studentinnen) fell sharply again, so 1952/1953 only 20% of the students at the Academy were women. 1963/1964 there were, however, already 41% (278).

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. - Psalms 75:8
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. - Matthew 26:39, 42
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord . - Psalms 116:13
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. - 1 Corinthians 11:25-26

Want in des Heren hand is een beker en de wijn bruist daarin, overvloedig gemengd; Hij schenkt daaruit tot de droesem toe, alle goddelozen op aarde moeten hem slorpende drinken. – Psalm 75:9
En Hij (Jezus) ging een weinig verder en Hij wierp Zich met het aangezicht ter aarde en bad, zeggende: Mijn Vader, indien het mogelijk is, laat deze beker Mij voorbijgaan; doch niet gelijk Ik wil, maar gelijk Gij wilt. Wederom, ten tweeden male, ging Hij heen en bad, zeggende: Mijn Vader, indien deze beker niet kan voorbijgaan, tenzij dan dat Ik die drinke, uw wil geschiede! – Mattheus 26:39, 42
De beker der verlossing zal ik opheffen, ik zal de naam des Heren aanroepen. – Psalm 116:13
Evenzo ook de beker, nadat de maaltijd afgelopen was, en Hij (Jezus) zeide: Deze beker is het nieuwe verbond in mijn bloed, doet dit, zo dikwijls gij die drinkt, tot mijn gedachtenis. Want zo dikwijls gij dit brood eet en de beker drinkt, verkondigt gij de dood des Heren, totdat Hij komt. – 1 Korinthe 11:25-26

"From 1876 through 1964, the majority of the States in the southern United States enforced racial segregation by passing laws known as “Jim Crow” laws. These laws ordered restricted access of public facilities to African-Americans. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, combined with the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, put an end to these laws.
This painted sign was uncovered during the 2004-2005 rehabiliation of the Collin County Courthouse. Our community, like much of the nation, engaged in the discriminatory practice of racial segregation by forcing African Americans to use separate public facilities, including busses, schools, water fountains and restrooms.
The painting has been preserved so that we may remember the past, but the doors have been sealed forever - never to be opened again."
For Corpus Christi 2016, record crowds accompanied Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
From the Solemn Mass with the St. Cecilia choir to the glorious outdoor procession with the Blessed Sacrament in the parish gardens, the feast of Corpus Christi at St. John Cantius Church in Chicago is an important experience for parishioners and visitors.
Flowers and incense prepare the way for the Blessed Sacrament, and elaborate chalk designs adorn the pathways to the various altars set up for the procession.
Many thanks to the hundred or so volunteers: artists, workers, cleaners, servers, religious, and clergy who helped give glory to our Eucharistic King. And many thanks to the numerous faithful who attended.

A brave young Iranian woman, who was brutally and senselessly murdered by a cowardly Basij sniper. Her only crime, ...daring to attend a protest of the recent controversial election in Iran.
Neda means "voice" or "calling" in Farsi, and she has been referred to as the "voice of Iran" and "a symbol of pro-democracy protesters battering the Islamic regime" in the World.
My most sincere thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones. And I hope that her death is not in vain, and that it will help to bring about a truly representative government for the wonderful people of Iran.

to tell me what i have seen is 'unhealthy'.
that the beauty and terror i have felt, the awakening my soul has undergone,
the complete rehabilitation of my senses is somehow wrong.
my eyes have been shattered;
caressing, spherical brightness has burned through my veins-
i have been destroyed and rebuilt, again and again.
i have sobbed at the beauty of the earth,
i have loved deeper and more passionately than you can begin to imagine.
i have flown with the cosmos, i have seen the sky ballet.
i have bowed before god.
and you deem i am 'unhealthy'.
For some reason, I am completely charmed by the bodice of this. Sweet, but not fussy. It could almost be a dress if it were shorter. (It's saying to me that it wants to be pale lavender, or possibly a small brown print.)
I have some retro cowboys-on-broncos flannel somewhere that I've been meaning to use for new winter pajamas, and I think that this, since it has a shirt bodice, would be a great candidate. I could even do a shoulder yoke and contrast cuffs (that was Amber Jean's idea. She rocks).
A similar dress (not a nightgown) from Vintage Pattern Lending Library's Vintage Fashionista blog (the pattern image is here).
You know, the more I stare at this, the more ideas I get. Awesome.
