In the river nearby, down the hill the water goes but sometimes freezes in time. Caught with Yashica ML 50mm/2 and my Canon. This was before the real cold came, I want to get back there some day soon . now it’s bound to be more ice!

Read my Review on Yashica ML 50mm/2

Today I got this mice package from c-hylse with a Yashica ML 50mm/1.4 in prefect condition :) I went outside and tried a few shots. It felt good but I’m not used to the f1.4 yet so many of the shots were to short depth.

Image of the lens itself will come shortly :)

Swedish nature near my home a mild winter, but with some ice. This is Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5 version. There is a creek making it’s way down the hillside and a small waterfall I go to sometimes.

This image made with Tele-Tokina was from my play with the christmas (toycars and road of wood) gift I got for my daughter ;) Grownups can play too, right?

You can find more images with Tele-Tokina in my review.

When I first tried the russian lens Mir-1V I got the feeling I wanted to use it for portraits. This christmas I took this nice image of my family in the hallway. Like the light. Of course it’s not planned, no poses just snapshot. But I love the warm feeling. Nice m42 wideangle from russia.

More image, not portraits with russian lens Mir-1V from earlier this year.

This weekend its has been a lot of snow here, as you might have noticed on previous image :) Haven’t had much chance to photograph, but I got a hot of this trees heavy branches. As I sad, I’m going to town tomorrow and hope to get the chance to shoot some streetphotos.

Snow on branches

I like this zoom (Yashica MC 35-70mm 3.5-4.5). Did som portraits that feelt good this weekend, sharp. This image below might not show that much from the zooms qualities, but I like the feeling of the image. My wife is pulling the little plastic sledge with my dayghter.

I’m going to take the zoom in to town tomorrow, if I will be able to carry it with everyting else.

I was just wondering why my statistics dived. Now I discovered my htaccess-file was broken so no links on the site worked *doh*
Well, it’s fixed now anyways.

Below, “Window with a view” shot with Yashica DSB 50mm/1.9 in October.

Window with a view

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.
