Since I posted so many images of my Bridal Wreath, I have disabled the comments...
but I thank everyone that came to take a look and hope you like this image!
Have a great day and Happy June!!!!
Another beautiful morning at the Wollny-See. I was late for work, but luckily the two ducks decided to take off just as I stood there manually focussing on the trees.
Tamron manual focus lens on crop camera @ ca. 40 mm and f/11.
Have I used the title before?
Another journey into the world of manual focus — this time with the TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Macro X2 lens on the Canon EOS R7. Handheld shot, using natural light.
Aperture f/5.6, shutter speed 1/320 s.
The star: likely Hycleus polymorphus, exploring a flower dusted with pollen — like a child smeared with biscuits. A second beetle peeks from the top right, but neither was in the mood for a double portrait. 😉
Technical challenges:
Even the lightest breeze can nudge the subject out of focus.
Nature is always moving — insects don’t pose for long.
Distance estimation must be done instantly — no time for refocus.
Aperture selection is crucial to balance sharpness and dreamy blur.
Despite all this, the experience was excellent. The lens feels solid in hand, responds well to light, manual settings are intuitive, and the images are sharp. In tandem with the R7, this manual lens has become my go-to companion for walks in nature.

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.
Germany. In the woods called "Schönbuch" nearby the City of Stuttgart.
SONY A7II (ILCE-7M2) with e-mount adapted old projection lens Leitz COLORPLAN CF 2.5/90. Sony full-frame in body image stabilization ON. ISO 100. 1/200s. Self made round aperture of about f/4.5 placed in the light beam. Manual mode. The lens (in this case on a Sony a6000) can be seen here --> Colorplan lens.
More photos of this mini sequence with this camera/lens combination can be found here: ---> In The Woods (1) and In The Woods (2).
Feel free to visit my albums. All my old lenses can be found there.
Am 11. Juni 1687 legte Amadea von Flodroff den Grundstein zum Bau der Kirche. Die Saalkirche mit fünf Jochen ist mit einem Satteldach bedeckt, aus dessen Mitte sich ein achtseitiger, offener Dachreiter erhebt, in dem die Kirchenglocken hängen. Das Kirchenschiff ist sowohl an den Längs- als auch an den Stirnseiten mit Bogenfenstern ausgestattet. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Kirche in einer neugotischen Formensprache verändert.
Über dem Portal an einer Längsseite befindet sich das Wappen der Amadea van Raefelt. Die Kanzel wurde um 1700 geschaffen. Die Orgel mit elf Registern, einem Manual und einem Pedal wurde 1856 von Carl Haupt gebaut.[1]
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)

Washingtonplatz vor dem Bahnhof.
Das Besondere: Die Glasfassade hat Falten und Knicke. Die Umgebung spiegelt sich kaleidoskopartig darin. Je nach Lichteinfall verändert sich das Aussehen.
Washingtonplatz in front of the train station.
The special thing about it: the glass facade has folds and creases. The environment is reflected in it like a kaleidoscope. The appearance changes depending on the incidence of light.
One of my geraniums is full of flowers for the second time this year - a welcome splash of colour in Autumn. I usually shoot flowers in manual focus.
An urban shot of Southhampton, England. An old 35mm negative converted to digital. Shot with a Canon TX camera. It's an all manual SLR camera. I think this is Above Bar Street. #England #Southhampton #UK
In a freezer, the drawers are pushed onto a thin network of pipes. These tubes are covered in ice and cool the frozen food.

Comparto un apilado realizado a partir de una selección de 47 fotos. Probé a montarlo automáticamente con PS, pero el resultado no me gustaba, asà que he cogido foto a foto y he ido aplicando una máscara de capa una a una sobre las zonas con más detalle. Para realizarlo dejo invisibles todas las capas menos la de más abajo, entonces cojo la inmendiatamente superior y le aplico una máscara de capa (blanca), a continuación pinto en negro sobre las zonas enfocadas y después invierto la selección de la máscara (comando+I en Mac), asà sucesivamente hasta la capa superior. En el trayecto dejo algunas capas sin utilizar si no me aportan información. No es todo lo perfecta que yo quisiera, pero... (_3120280-a-26-APIL-MANUAL-VP)
I share a stack made from a selection of 47 photos. I tried to assemble it automatically with PS, but I didn't like the result, so I took photo by photo and applied a layer mask one by one on the areas with more detail. To do this I make all the layers invisible except the bottom one, then I take the one immediately above it and apply a layer mask (white) to it, then paint black over the focused areas and then invert the mask selection (command+I on Mac), so on up to the top layer. Along the way I leave some layers unused if they don't give me information. It is not as perfect as I would like, but... (_3120280-a-26-APIL-MANUAL-VP)

Talat Noi is a working class neighbourhood in Bangkok that houses a range of workshops which deal with used car parts. Here's another worker meticulously cleaning these parts.
