November 2012, Seoul, Korea. People write words of wisdom, of a wish or a prayer on lamps and send them downstream. Here they are caught, funneling into a pool of light.
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

When she changed the wording on her sign from "pumpkins" to "jack-o-lanterns," business really took off!

After searching in vain through my attic for an old Coleman camping lantern for this week's "Lantern" theme, I figured I would take a pass on this week's Flickr Friday. Then I went to lunch at the Wicker Crab Pot in Chesapeake. What did they have as a decoration in the Men's Room?? A lantern on a wicker table!!!
A few lantern bugs /lanternflies (Pyrops) of Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. These are probably some of my most favorite genera of invertebrates. Enjoy!

銀色小船搖搖晃晃彎彎, 懸在絨絨的天上
妳的心事三三兩兩藍藍, 停在我幽幽心上
我的行李孤孤單單散散惹惆悵, 晝夜亂了和諧
離人揮霍著眼淚, 迴避還在眼前的離別
你不敢想明天, 我不肯說再見
有人說一次告別天上, 就會有顆星又熄滅
some said once saying goodbye to the sky, another star would be diminished...

One from an evening with my camera club at Tynemouth. Loved the light hitting the metal in the lantern, the diagonal line of the fence and the colours in the sky. Such a simple view, but beautiful.

Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1.2
Aperture was wide open.
I've posted two almost identical photographs of this lantern, in the same position, with the identical lighting, minutes apart, for the purposes of comparing two "vintage style" lenses. This photograph was taken with the Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1.2 which I think dates from about 1980.
I was surprised by several aspects of the results. For example, the Minolta, despite being easier to focus, renders slightly softer focus. If you compare the bird's wing on the sliver control dial on the lantern (if you magnify and look closely) you'll see that the feathers in the Minolta photo sort of melt to mush, whereas the feathers on the Meyer Optik seem more distinct. I would have bet money on the opposite being true before this little experiment.
Overall, I personally like the softer overall feel of the Minolta photo; it's got more light and a more pleasing effect. However, I admire the lantern in the Meyer Optik photo.
Please leave a comment to let me know which you prefer. Thanks!
