Yesterday I took my new Yashica zoom for a walk in the sourroundings. It was afternoon (=sundown) and cold, snowing… ruff light to photograph in. But I managed to get some nice shots, specially one I really like.

It’s something special walking through a cold, silent, white landscape. It can be very calming. Together with the trees I can feel it’s a spiritual experience. There not much colour information for the mind to process, shapes become patterns or hidden in snow. Other shapes, like special branches, get accentuated.

If you missed this: Life magazine has published there photos on the web.

This is the lates lens I purchased. It’s a Yashica zoom, in new condition and I think it has very good optics. Related to the Contax 35-70?
