In Russia a century ago

In Russia a century ago, colorphotos were created that gives you a amazing feeling like it was done recently. My friend Richard posted this link on Facebook, and I though it so amazing that I felt compelled to post here! :)

Garden roses with Preset Takumar 135mm

Opportunities to photography can be close, like with these garden roses shot with my old nice preset Takumar 135mm lens. Late one day in sunset I wanted to use the light with the old lens.

Wood anemones and sun with Yashica ML 35mm/2.8

The Yashica ML 35mm/2.8 used from the ground with Wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa) in Swedish spring. Question: what do you think about the flare?

Anemone nemorosa with the solid Pentacon 50/1.8

Another Anomone Nemorosa (wood anemone), this time photographed with Pentacon 50mm/1.8 on Canon EOS 350D. A lens I use bicycling when I wnat an allround that can be used for closeups. Wood anemones are everywhere now. With some blue spots of Hepatica nobilis.

Preset Asahi-lens and flowers

Flowers is a nice way to test new lenses, in my opinion. At the moment wood anemone (anemone nemorosa) is everywhere where I live. So I have tested the preset, early lens Asahi Takumar 105mm/2.8 on wood anemone, with an extensionring. Oh, and this also illustrates the hazards with photographing flowers – I put my chin on very nasty ants (myrmicinae) who bites ;)

Early spring flower with preset Takumar lens

So, finally spring is coming here in my part of Sweden. These flowers (Hepatica nobilis, kdineywort, “blĂ„sippa” in swedish) are fighting their way up. This is the first image I like from the early, preset Asahi Takumar 135mm/3.5 I showed my earlier post. Havent had a chance to test it very much yet, but it looks promising.
