I have shot some autumn with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9, classic portrait M42-lens from Asahi (Pentax).
I like the contrast of sharp leafs to soft bokeh. The autumn colors I love, but sometimes it pays to go black and white I think. Do the opposit to the common way, our your own routine.
I renewed my Flickr account today to Pro. I use Flickr and Ipernity, so I use double webservice image storage/communities. I like Ipernity where also are a translator to my language, but many of my old images are linked from my websites to Flickr since I have used their pro-account for a few years. A later image is this leaf with drops, photographed with the lens Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 on my Canon.
I made an inspired trip with the Helios 44-3 the other day, after I got some questions from Ali in the comments to my review of the lens (one of my first manual lenses and reviews by the way). I got out early one morning, but the result was … ok. Since I have not photographed for a while I guess I need to work some to get mojo back. But I’m quite happy with this shot, into the dawn with the MC Helios 44-3 58mm/2. It also made me photographer of the day at twitter.com/photoandpicture.
I like the small, unripe fruits that grow to berries. The light shines through them almost. Here photographed with Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9.
The flowers are starting to grow, and I wanted to portrait the spring with Pentacon 50/1.8. This is the years first flowershot, a hepatica nobilis. Not to sharp, could be due to my bicycling 30km before shooting it ;)
Yesterday I bicycled round lake Tysslingen and made this image of whooper swans with Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5 M42-lens on Canon EOS 350D. The swans here are an attraction for wildlifephotographers every year, and they were lined up at the fence with their big tele AF-lenses… all getting the same image I guess, of the same birds and with the same weird look on their faces when they looked upon my little Takumar ;)
This winter dusk will make the warm and cold part 2 in my series. The deep bue was partly accomplished by linear polarizer (the once we’re often told don’t work well on DSLRs).
Shot with Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm/1.8 on Canon EOS 350D.
Some winter berries with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.8. I feel a little bit like they look at the moment. Wish it could be summer soon, with more daylight and possibility to exercise in nature. It would be great with some more energy.
As you see from this shadow the robots are coming! Quick, hide your euiqpment!
Image problably shot with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 but I’m not sure.
Portrait of a magic lens, Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9, on my old Spotmatic-camera. Asahi made great things – and still do perhaps, but I’ve only tested their old stuff :)
