For the non-photographers amongst you, a ‘fast’ lens is one which has a large aperture compared to other lenses of similar focal length.
A lens with a large maximum aperture (in this case f/1.8) is a fast lens because it delivers more light to the focal plane, allowing a faster shutter speed and use in low light situations. Fast lenses also produce a shallow depth of field, allowing for background blurring, commonly referred to as Bokeh. Prime lenses such as this 50mm are also a lot sharper than their zoom counterparts.
I am strangely intrigued and attracted to fast lenses, especially those below the f/1.0 mark. Here is one I drool over regularly: Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 :)

In moving images, the record for the fastest lens used in film history is a super-fast Zeiss 50mm f/0.70 by the director Stanley Kubrick in Barry Lyndon. Kubrick, a former photographer for Look magazine, wanted to film scenes in an old English castle using only the light of the candles themselves! He managed to source the lenses from NASA, which were used in the Apollo moon landings, or not if you are a conspiracist ;)

The Florida East Coast Hotel Company selected the architectural firm Schultze and Weaver, which later designed the Waldorf-Astoria, Pierre, and Sherry Netherlands hotels in New York City, to rebuild The Breakers. During an earlier trip to Rome, Leonard Schultze had admired the Villa Medici (1575) and decided to use this building, Italian Renaissance in design, as the architectural inspiration for The Breakers facade.
On December 4, 1925, the New York City-based Turner Construction Company signed a contract to build the new seven-story Breakers. Construction began in January 1926. More than 1,200 construction workers labored around the clock, while 72 artisans from Italy completed the magnificent paintings on the lobby ceilings. The immense structure was completed for $7 million in a scant 11½ months and opened on December 29, 1926, just in time for the start of the Palm Beach season.
Exceeding everyone's expectations, the hotel opened showcasing a 200-foot-long main lobby with an arched, hand-painted ceiling; a vast Florentine Dining Room, richly decorated with a beamed ceiling modeled after the Palazzo Davanzati (ca. 1400) in Florence; magnificent North and South Loggias; and shaded terraces and landscaped patios.
Far grander than its predecessor, The Breakers was more than America's greatest winter resort, it was an unrivaled masterpiece. The Architectural Forum praised The Breakers as “without doubt one of the most magnificent, successful examples of a palatial winter resort hotel,” (May 1927). The president of Turner Construction Company reported soon after the opening, “Those who know, say it is the finest resort hotel in America, and it is not likely that the circumstances of ownership, time, and place will produce its counterpart in years to come.”
Now in its second century, The Breakers continues the tradition of excellence started by Henry Morrison Flagler. Today it remains one of the few, privately-owned resorts independent of chain affiliation. The heirs to the original ownership have successfully maintained and revitalized the hotel, keeping with the Flagler tradition and spending millions on renewal and expansion. With their commitment, capital expenditures averaging $30 million a year continue to be reinvested, ensuring The Breakers remains energized and alluring to future generations.

I liked that leading line and the colour of the rocks. It was a terrible day for shooting landscapes apart from the interesting clouds. I am getting a bit frustrated now by the lack of sunset material and the greyness of everything.I suppose I should live in another country if I want a change from that! Still wanted to post something though.

Which doesn't really make any sense. Maybe f/11 would be a good choice?
But I've been very busy lately. Trying to figure out how to use my 17-yeal old camera and my much older tripod again.
The lens isn't quite that old. It's a long fast macro lens. I usually used it as a portrait lens.
This is chrysocolla with cobalto calcite. The cobalto calcite is the pink part. The specimen is just under 2'' long.
Bought is from an old-timer several decades ago.
Blijkbaar werd er op en rond het station niet al te strak aan de regels vastgehouden: een 2400 met een rangeerdeel aan de haak steekt met open bomen het overpad over....Langs het perron staat een mat'64 in oeruitvoering: let op de deuren en de grote rolfilm- die overigens blanco toont. Dat was eenvoudiger dan dat de conducteur zich een lamme arm draaide aan de handbediende bestemmingsrol....
Wie weet of we hier met een tweetje, danwel een vier van doen hebben wordt van harte uitgenodigd dat hier te melden...
