Of course you could shoot this thing in colour but why would you want to???
Here are some photos with my new 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95 manual focus lens.

Shot through a store window... the nicest Buddha statue I've seen lately. It's three or four feet tall, made of gorgeous wood. EXIF data? Who knows... the camera doesn't record any data when you shoot with a fully manual lens. I probably shot wide open at f/0.95.

A crow taking a drink. I set my camera in black & white mode so I actually see monochrome through the viewfinder. Somehow the bird looked a little sinister to me. I don't know if that vibe comes across.

Another store window shot. Here's a chessboard with a set of all-white chess pieces. This really appealed to me because it's such a silly idea! :-)

RAIN DOGS? Any idea? Me neither.


All photos were taken by me, keithboone@keithboone, with a Fuji X-T4 camera and a manual focus 35mm prime lens for the Monomad Photography Challenge by brumest@brumest and monochromes@monochromes. Thanks very much for visiting!
