More from my first outing with my new Helios-44
It sure has a unique character to it, almost 3d with vivid colors and swirly out of focus areas...
Helios-44 is a series of standard lenses for SLR cameras, produced in Soviet Union by KMZ, MMZ, Jupiter from 1958 till 1992 (2001?) and it is considered to be one of most mass produced lenses in the world. Based on the lens Biotar 2 / 58 , at the beginning was called "БТК" - "БиоТар Красногорский" (BioTar Krasnogorski). A fast 6-element anastigmat, it was available in both single-coated and multi-coated versions.
Meet Poolside Barbie…
Southern summers are so hot they could make the devil sweat, but you'll never hear Poolside Barbie complain. With her portable swimming pool, cooler, and six pack of beer Barbie knows how to stay cool and sweat free all summer long. The only thing missing is someone to help her put on sunscreen.

Sorry kids, no tranny in these pools. I did hear a cool story about how back in the day they would put goldfish in the kiddie pool and the kids could catch em and take em home.

My grandma (a model in the 1940's) poolside, smoking a cigarette. Would not look so glamourous today!

Children's Pool, La Jolla, Mar 2011
The original shot was much brighter but I wanted to emphasize the flat-top rock in the foreground. I would've preferred a smoother water surface but the waves here churn the sea-foam so much it would've taken several minutes more to calm the scene down.

I am gradually getting back into shooting photos again. I've had a really difficult 11-12 months taking care of Brenda, myself, and losing our little dog. Of course, the first thing that happens when you start taking pictures after a hiatus is a longing for....more megapixels!!!
