Fujinon 55mm f:2.2
Sony a7C
The Fujinon was one of my rare flea-market purchases. It came on a Fuji M-42 camera body together with two interesting Revuenon lenses, both of them rebranded Tomiokas. Despite the M-42 mount, the lens cannot be fitted to a Pentax on account of a tiny metal lug on the mount. It does however fit on my Sony adapters. The glass is in good condition, but the focussing ring - apparently it was made of bakelite - had long since disintegrated. Nonetheless everything works. The optical formula is said to be based on the Unar, a four-element lens designed in the 1890s by Paul Rudolph and briefly produced by Zeiss - a predecesser of the famous Tessar. The Fujinon 55mm f:2.2, which in its day was Fuji's cheapest kit-lens, is noted for its interesting bokeh.
Chimney Rock in all its glory. This image lives off the light the late afternoon sun is illuminating the grasses with.
I was walking around on my wooded property at dawn to see if something would catch my eye when I came across this old wood stump with some hoarfrost on it.
Not being prepared to do macro photography, I hurried back to the house to get my macro lens.
The sun was already peeking over the horizon and started to melt the frost so working quickly was imperative.
It took 13 shots to move the plane of focus through the picture and to make an image out of all those shots I had to focus stack in Photoshop.
Who knew the ice crystals would look like that when magnified. It is hard to come up with something to provide scale and I didn't want to put a ruler in the picture. This is not forensic photography. The frost was only maybe a 16th of an inch think.
After all that it looks like I walked up to the scene and took a quick snapshot. Oh well, however complicated it was to get the shot has no bearing on how much the viewer will like it.
Taken with my vintage Adaptall Tamron 35-80mm macro lens and a 2x teleconverter. Amazing what this old lens can do.
Recent rains had caused a profusion of wildflowers around my house. It was a good enough reason to mount my Dukane projector lens and go outside instead of sitting in front of the computer looking at other people's pictures.
Near the little village La Charce in te Drôme in France lies this geoglogical curiosity, discovered in 1977.

"During turbulent or troubled times, hope is there for us!"
Not a very sharp image of this heron - I'am not a bird fotographer - but when I walked here it flew up and in a split second I thought of grabbing my camera.
Actually I needed a singing bird to accompany this image, but well, this has feathers...
‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.
Poem by Emily Dickinson

Stunningly gorgeous day at Great Falls, from the Maryland side of the Potomac River. We always go to the Virginia side of Great Falls but opted for a change of pace. Water was high and running very fast. The Billy Goat Trail crosses a number of smaller waterfalls before reaching this vantage point of the Potomac.
This bell tower is separate standing north of Habo church, known as the "Wooden Cathedral". It has three bells.

Fast water is dangerous, particularly if you're standing on slippery rocks trying to get your compositions right. Make sure you are on a secure footing before you look through the viewfinder.
Everything was fine, I heeded all my own warnings. As far as the photography is concerned, I thought at first that this shot was no good because the light had just faded away, but then I started to play around with it and came up with this cold feel, which was close to the reality.
Taken with vintage Tamron SP 70 -210 f1:3.5 CF macro lens.
From my archives, I have not been able to make any long trips or even short ones, for that matter, as my health has not allowed that. So I''m rummaging around on my hard drives to see if there is still anything worth posting.
This one is from my trip to southern Utah last year.

Small flower on a potted cactus. The flower is very small, just a few millimetres in diameter.

Do you mind?
I only found out that there was nothing sharp in this image, when I saw it on my computer. I still thought it was a pleasant image, but do you think so too, my friends?

I was finally inspired to saddle up my Sony work horse with the Takumar 55mm f 1.8 to see if I could lasso in some bokeh. The dry conditions in the state of New Mexico make it harder to come up with plentiful highlight glitter, so I took my spritz bottle and helped it along a little. I shot hand held because it is easier than trying to wrestle a tripod into the bush
Those leaves look like they are getting ready to prick those bubbles. In reality they are a drab gray color, but when the low, late afternoon winter sun hits them, they come alive again.

Magome-juku, seen here in the early evening, is one of a handful of well-preserved "post towns" along the old Nakasendo, a route which connected Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo) during the Edo period.
These days, many tourists walk parts of the old route. The section between the towns of Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku is particularly popular, and has been declared a National Historic Site of Japan.

Not sure if I would really like to take the advantage of the view from in there.
Not sure if one would really have a view from in there.
Not sure if some critter wouldn't bite your butt or any other parts in there.
Since I will never go in there, I will never know.
Not sure if this is even a good image.
The Killin Railway was a locally promoted railway line built to connect the town of Killin to the Callander and Oban Railway main line nearby. It opened in 1886.
The wattle trees are flowering all around Melbourne right now. This one was photographed in Westerfolds Park, Templestowe.
