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?

I’m thinking I’ll make a series out of this theme, the warm and the cold. I got lot’s of the glowing sun in the heavy snowlandscape. I like the symbolism in this, when things feels blue and cold you can probably fins a piece of golden light somewhere ;)

I think this was shot with Yashica 35mm/2.8, however I’m not certain. I almost got stuck there, with a leg dissapeared completely in the snow.

I think it’s an interesting experiment to point your lens to the sun. Shows if these old things have this possibility. Ad did some experimenting at my last photowalk since I forgot some filters I had planned to use. It’s is winter and very cold here in Sweden. Lots, lots of snow. Sometime up to my waistline. But it was worth it. If not for the pictures for the experience. Here is a picture shot with Yashica MC Zoom 35-70 (if I remember correct) into the sun.

Show me your “into the sun”-picture!

Yesterday I took my old Pentacon 50mm/1.8 and pointed it to the sun. Behind the leafs I could control the visual effects a bit. I wanted to do something different then all the pictures of autumnleafs I do every year.

Man, I live in a beautiful place. And the Yashica-lens ML 35mm/2.8 makes it justice. I’m going to start using more of my photos in my webdesign – I think that can work…

Went for a walk and took russian M42-lenses with me, including the Mir-1v. This is the result, photographs in the dark swedish november, in the sundown. Lens mounted on camera Canon EOS 350D.
