George, being a very patient model while I faff about with the manual focus. And yes, of course the internet needs more cats.
Takumar Macro 50/4
A vintage Royal typewriter with manual metal keys stuck together, illuminated by a strobe or flash with a snoot wrapped it. The directed light came from the right in a dark room.
Fun. A good way to entertain myself these days. An earlier version from ten years ago in first comment box.
I have disabled the comments and thank everyone that took a closer peek...
Enjoy the rest of the week!!

Though I do have technologically advanced cameras, I tend to prefer older cameras (all these are second-hand cameras with a 16MP sensor) and use them manually. I am not rejecting technological excellence and sophisticated algorithms. All I am saying is that I have more joy when working manually and that Fuji's old 16MP sensor is really good enough for my purposes. This shot was done with my new (ten year old) Fuji X-Pro1.

This is from last December. But still here is snow everywhere and this morning it was -13C
There are few signs though: you can hear the water on the streams flowing and I've seen a bunch of snowdrops

Another attempt with this old manual lens. There are some C/A tracks on contours, but the total result is good. (Small white points are by light rain drops, not lens fault)

These days I think a lot about a good friend of mine who is currently going through a hard time, but I'm sure that she will shine bright soon.

I lost my mojo a bit during the last few months due to busy life (among other things), but on Sunday I finally had some fun again with one of my vintage lenses.
Gosh, that lens does love to flare : ))
Welcome November !
