These are different than previous ones I have seen. They are also slightly different from each other. I love the subtle variation.

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.

The invasive Spotted Lantern Fly has arrived in my hometown of Chester, NY.

There seems to be a lot of Chinese influence in the way that Hoi An is decorated. Every street the town is festooned with colourful lights, and the whole place glows brightly during the evenings as thousands of lanterns are lit to illuminate the night market.

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!

The sun was lighting up the elevators of the museum Reina Sofia and almost dissolved them in light. The tree and lanterns formed a contrasting and almost united silhouette in the foreground.
