EXPLORED!
I had just finished shooting Steph with my 70-200 lens and decided to switch over to my 50mm Tak. As I was doing that Chris grabbed Steph, set her in his kitchen chair that he brought and got a few shots with his Canon 50mm. While he was doing that I shot a couple of my own at F2.8, making sure to let her know she didn't have to look at me while we both shot her.
I just love the bokeh and colors from this lens! I think I'm getting a hang of this manual focusing thing. I've got 7 MF lenses now and just need more opportunity to test them all out in real conditions!
Lighting: All natural.
Stranger Portrait - Maggie (Vintage manual focus lens). I had just taken a candid photo of Maggie who'd just asked another guy for a light for her joint. She had seen me take the shot and remarked that she always enjoyed a joint mid-morning. She then said her name was Maggie, that she was totally fine with her size and that she also loved men! A bit more information than I really needed.
Following a brief conversation she asked me to take her photo and immediately jumped into a few poses. All in all a very unexpected few minutes but Maggie turned out to be a very friendly and interesting character .

I wanted to show the lenses I use on my Sony bodies. All perform amazing and are manual focus and manual aperture lenses.
It's a visual treat to see the leaves change colors as Autumn arrives but it also ricochets the feeling of the cruel German cold gnawing at my bones for the next 8 months :/

Image of a 1980-era Olympus G.Zuiko 28mm Auto-W f/3.5 lens used with the E-M5 II. This lens was salvaged from a scrap bin and suffers from dents, scratches, dust and a grinding focus ring, but it still produces beautiful results.
Manually focused. It was hovering in this strange attitude.

Hervey Bay /ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.

Sony A7II with Canon 85mm f:1.9 screw mount rangefinder lens using Fotodiox M39-NEX lens adapter.
I bought this lens to go with my Canon L2 camera which is currently out for a CLA so I thought I'd try it on the full frame Sony digital body. Early images look very promising.

Alright, I am back with a delicious meal.
Fennel Orange salad with cucumber, red onions and pear. Topped with grounded black pepper, some good olive oil and a few drops of fresh orange juice. Enjoy!
Actually, this is kind of another lens test run. To be precise: Pentax Asahi Takumar SMC 50mm f1.4 which I scored on the bay some weeks ago. While an extensive write-up about this manual focus lens on today's digital cameras is in the making, let me tell you one thing, this lens is a big win. Sharp, fast and with a wonderful smooth bokeh.
Oh, you can actually see a larger version of the pictures below by clicking on them.
Enough babbling, here are the hard facts... or what I remember:
