The idea for this image came from Leo Roos who stated that my Primoplan 58/1.9 should be capable of creating similar highlights as his Primoplan 75/1.9 created in his Twelve moons ascending image. OK, it took a fair length of extension tubes and fiddling with light and subject but I got a result.
And as it is still Oktoberfest at Dyxum, I'll enter this for day 14.
" carezza di luce
l'eco delle parole
rinfresca la pelle
il profumo
non svanisce "
caress of light
echoes with your words
refreshing my skin
your flavour
never vanish

This is one of the test shots I took with my brand new Canon 50mm f1.4flens.

This is my 3000th image uploaded to Flickr - I wonder how many thousands more I had to take to get these 3000 shots - probably 300,000!
"Lead, Kindly Light" is a hymn with words written in 1833 by John Henry Newman and 4th verse by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.. The tune was written by John B. Dykes in 1865.
As a young priest, John Newman became sick while in Italy and was unable to travel for almost three weeks. In his own words:
"Before starting from my inn, I sat down on my bed and began to sob bitterly. My servant, who had acted as my nurse, asked what ailed me. I could only answer, "I have a work to do in England." I was aching to get home, yet for want of a vessel I was kept at Palermo for three weeks.
I began to visit the churches, and they calmed my impatience, though I did not attend any services. At last I got off in an orange boat, bound for Marseilles. We were becalmed for whole week in the Straits of Bonifacio, and it was there that I wrote the lines, Lead, Kindly Light, which have since become so well known."
Lead, Kindly Light was sung by a soloist on the RMS Titanic during a hymn-singing gathering led by Rev. Ernest C. Carter, shortly before the ocean liner struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912.
It is thought that this hymn echoes a truth our hearts confirm: though trials may extinguish other sources of light, Christ will illuminate our path, "keep our feet," and show us the way home.
On the way home - traffic jam :)
Experts please help: Are those dusty looking speckles a very dirty sensor (eek!) or just our very dirty car windscreen?! I used f4.
HBW :)
