Wishing you a mahhh-velous weekend. I'm sorry I have not been on Flickr like the old days. My time is severely limited, and there's no possible way to catch up with visits and groups. You're on my mind though, and I'm grateful for your friendship. Muah!!!!

EXPLORE: WITH THANKS TO MY FRIENDS.

Thanks, friends, for your ongoing support. I am working on a project and have very limited time. I look forward to spending more time with your streams in a few weeks.

Last Sunday I spent a day on Camera Show. I sold one lens but acquired few quirky old enlarger and large format lenses so I will torture you with a photos made by them. All are adapted with glue, camera caps and some helicoids.

So this one is Kinex Paris France Kinn Anastigmat 105mm f4.5 lens for large format cameras. Shutter jams easily and nicely. Soft, low contrast, unsaturated natural colors, at moments quirky bokeh. In one word, all that contemporary HD sharpens junkies hate.

Caught this shot on a misty, cold day...very rare here in California.

Thank you to Nesster for the TTV.

Thank you friends and visitors...thanks for your kind words and invitations. And a special thanks to anniedaisybaby / Linda Goodman for the new title. Love it!

This shrub flowers from late autumn through winter to spring in a corner of our garden. It's always been there and I've never been able to put a name to it (haven't tried that hard though). Here it is in light snow in February but it's looking very similar now as I write (late November).

It's got that sharpish but veiled, low contrast look of a very good but very, very old lens.

Fourth and last image in this Rabbit Series...

I was going for a soft and fuzzy feeling in this capture/edit and I think I accomplished it :)

Thanks for coming along with me on this short bunny series!

this was hard work *faints*

We went to the Uvas Canyon County Park in Morgan Hill, located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The creek currently is a lot of water because we recently had extended rain.

I processed a balanced, a paintery and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and partially desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
