Our day started off cloudy but late in the afternoon the Sun broke through. The temperature reached an astounding 60°F. So we just have a quick look at M42, the Orion Nebula and Sirius. I didn't have the

A little bit of color for a change. Both shot with manual vintage lenses. The first one was photographed with a Helios, made in the old USSR. Sony a7 + Helios 44-2 --- ISO 100 --- f/2 --- 1/4000 sec ©

The color versions of a couple of shots I've posted two weeks ago. This first one is a rose bud shot against an orange tree. The orange blurred circles are actually real oranges still hanging on the branches.

Which is all I absolutely adore in bokeh. And our old Helios les does it. Sometimes more, sometimes less... but it is always magical. One of the first tries to catch the result I saw in Google. And let

Since I started to shoot almost exclusively with manual old lenses, the sentence "drawing with light" took a whole new meaning, an almost literal one. For those who doesn't know, the word

A very special day for a little plant. All the spotlight and fleshes are on her. Look at the fresh green leaves and slim stem. A one of a kind beauty in a pile of weeds. Don't mind my blabbing. Sometimes

Grass dancing in a warm summer breeze, shot with a manual projector's old lens modified to M42 mount. I call it the poor man's Trioplan. It costs 10x less and delivers that same sought out bokeh quality.

Shot in the south of Portugal, with a vintage lens, my trusty manual Pentacon 50mm. Some people love it, some people hate it. I love the dreamy bokeh it produces and the color rendering is amazing. When
