Minolta HiMatic E 40mm F1.7 adapted to m4/3.
Soft focus lenses haven't really made an appearance in the digital age (due to the availability of post-processing?). Since the m4/3 sensor is only 1/4 the size of a 35mm sensor there is four times more light entering the mirrorless box than should be. At F1.7 that generates a lot of reflected light which reduces contrast and softens the focus (effect goes away when you stop down).
Note - adding a light baffle will remove the effect.
i took 2 images, one in focus and one completely out of focus and overlayed them on top of each other with the out of focus one at 70% transparency and it gave the buildings a nice 3d depth to stand out from the background of the sky, but overall the picture is too dark, doh.
Durante algún tiempo, después del accidente acaecido en Linarejos, provincia de Zamora, hasta la puesta en servicio de una nueva rama de Talgo IV con la serie 333.4, esta composición de tren diurno era la encargada de cubrir la relación entre Pontevedra y Orense, donde los pasajeros, harían transbordo al tren de similares características que partía desde La Coruña.

Through the haze, the sun was falling to the mountain. As the sun hit the invisible dark cloud, the edge of the cloud lit up like red hot coal. The dark cloud bit a piece of the sun and burnt up before quickly disappearing from eyesight through the screen of haze.
Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada, USA and was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968. It derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.

The walls of the navata, the apse and various other parts of the cathedral are covered from paintings in false mosaic works of Sienese artist Arturo Viligiardi. The iconographic program of the painted apse was inspired by the mosaic of the same topic in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.

The Kodak Duaflex is a 620 roll film pseudo TLR made by Kodak in the US and UK. The original versions were available from December 1947 - September 1950 in the US, and 1949-1955 in the UK; the Duaflex IV was finally discontinued in the US in March 1960.
The various Duaflexes had aluminum alloy bodies and were available with either a simple fixed focus 75mm f/15 Kodet lens, or with a 72mm f/8 Kodar triplet lens in a front-element focusing (to 3.5 ft.) mount. The Kodar lens had Waterhouse stops of f/8, 11, and 16. The shutter had speeds of "I" and "B", and was synched for use with a Kodalite Flasholder.
The Duaflex II is an aluminum bodied twin-lens-reflex 620 film camera, and although this version features an adjustable focus lens it has no rangefinder system.
The Duaflex II was the first in the Duaflex line to feature a viewfinder hood to help shield the viewing window and thereby make the image easier to view. It was also the first version to feature a flash and double exposure prevention.
The Duaflex II has a very simple Waterhouse Aperture with three settings f/8, f/11 and f/16. A Waterhouse Aperture is a piece of metal with various size holes cut in it that travel across the lens when you move the aperture selection.
This Duaflex II has a 72mm Kodar adjustable focus lens, there are versions of the Duaflex line that feature a lower quality fixed focus lens.
The Duaflex takes 12 6cm x 6cm exposures on 620 roll film. The shutter is a dual select-able speed leaf type, the speeds are Instant which is flash synced and Bulb. The shutter speed is estimated to be between 1/30th and 1/50th of a second.

The small volcanic craters known as pseudo volcanoes occur when hot lava flows over areas with high water content such as a marsh. This causes a fake eruption leaving the craters behind.
the result from experimental work with different tools.
Was a not so "lucky" photo from a old caterpillar, but good enough for experimental works ;-).
Thanks to my flickr friend Kostas for the idea and link to tutorial.

My love of engines knows no bounds.
Clearly I need more stuff in non-grey colors. Also, I need to unpack a real camera, some lights, and a lightbox.

The view of downtown Baltimore, Inner Harbor from atop Federal Hill, just after midnight. This is one of the last shots I took before stumbling back across the harbor from exhaustion. 10+ hrs in the city, lots of photos and laughs later, it was time to call it a day. 18mm

As usual it doesn't feel like Christmas in China. Some decorations are up, and shop assistants are wearing Santa-hats, any excuse to have flashing lights and make money, but the sense of anticipation in the air that marks the build-up to any national festival won't properly begin for another month...honestly, if I'm not going to be back with my family, I want Christmas to be over and done with. I'm not a Christian so it's only ever about family. I actually find myself more looking forward to Chinese New Year. The Xmas tree lights reflected in the window here which looks like sparks from the oven is about as close as you'll get to a festive scene from me...
I've even gone to the trouble of booking myself into hopsital for an operation on my broken ankle, some kind of sick joke played on myself. It was the doctors who suggested Christmas Day, without even realising which day it was. I would rather it wasn't done on Xmas, because I'm not a complete sociopath. I would at least go round for Xmas food and drinks with other foreigners, but then I thought, well, fine, I've waited long enough, best get it over and done with, and they seemed to think by doing it on that day I would be getting the best surgeon. In any case, last year I was frantically marking student's essays for ten hours on Xmas, so spending most of this Christmas Day under general anaesthetic represents a vast improvement.
Hopefully, I can be discharged with no infection and the pain will subside enough to be off painkillers in four or five days, which would allow me to get drunk safely on the 31st Dec. I'll get drunk in any case, but it could be a bit messy on malt whisky plus painkillers. In Scotland, New Year traditionally tends to overshadow Xmas anyway, Hogmanay, "First Footing" and "Auld Lang Syne" and all that...I doubt an international audience is familiar with these local festive habits but anyway...so please, no merry xmas wishes, or sparkly animated GIFs, if you're going to do anything, drink a toast on the 31st, good health in 2009...
