11 exposures stacked median in Photoshop, each between 5-20 seconds, totaling about 2 minutes, then blended with a darker exposure sky.

This was blue hour just before it became pitch dark with freezing temperatures around 28F (-2C).

My tiny little helpers from little world gave me once more a helping hand. They did the presets for my last manual focus shooting. :)

Lensbaby Velvet 56 (Manual Focus Lens)

Bokeh is evening sun setting on flowers. I wait until the sun is not too harsh and creates a glow which Lensbaby Velvet is good at picking up.

To compare bokeh for Lensbaby Velvet and the Pentacon, look at my previous image. Both are Manual focus lens.

my thoughts on the laowa 65mm:

shot with a fujifilm x-s10 and a venus optics laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x macro lens

Tokina Manual Focus M42 28-70

Manual focus as close as I could get, which is quite close, indeed. Fun to do. About one inch/2.54 cm from that largest drop.
