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!!!
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!

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.

I bought six gorgeous paper lanterns the other day, don't ask me why, I have no idea. They are soft floral colours and don't match anything in my house. Well....at least they fold down flat.

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.

I built this lantern using 36 of the black ‘banana gears’ and 4, 32-stud long rigid hose pieces to form the skeleton. 64 door panels in trans-neon orange form the ‘glass’ for the lantern. There’s an additional structure inside and between the panels to hold everything in the right place. A UV lamp is used to get the glowing effect.
This is only temporarily a lantern as it was actually built to be part of a larger MOC. Can anyone guess what it will become?
Last evening I went for a walk to capture a photo for the Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge, "When Halloween Was Cancelled". When I saw this lawn ornament, I walked up to this great looking character but jumped out of my skin when my approach activated him. He started swinging his lantern that suddenly lit up and his left arm that held a long rifle. He began talking in a deep spooky voice as his eyes went from green to a creepy golden yellow.
I am so glad that Halloween was not cancelled at this house.
