So with a plastic bag and a rubber band wrapped around the lens I challenged the weather gods and took a photowalk with blowing winds and snow up to my waiste. The lens used was Yashica ML 50mm/2.

On the other side, a bit firther down, is the village where I live. It’s a beautiful place, but I must admit I’m getting tired of snow and long for spring flowers.

Shot last sunday (7 feb 2010) in Suttarboda on the hills above my home in Sweden. Not sure about the lens, but it must have been Asahi S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 or Yashica ML 35mm/2.8. I love them both and the picture came out the way I wanted it.

The deep bue was partly accomplished by linear polarizer (the once we’re often told don’t work well on DSLRs).

Sadly I can’t remember which lens I used here, but I think the Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7 is a very lightly candidate. It’s nice to digg through the archive sometimes, you find some wonderful pieces forgotten.

The black and white was converted in Photoshop and the little grain came from a layer with scanned T-Max 400 imported in photoshop and put on this digital image.

The changing weather between cold and “warm” (well, around 0°C is warm) make some nice iceformations.

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!
