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 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.

The light shines through them almost. Here photographed with Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9.

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.

It is one year ago I did the same thing with the Auto-Takumar 85mm/1.9, this year it’s Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9. It’s bokeh suits me for this type of images. I just hope I can grow as photographer even if the motifs are the same ;)

Autumn leaf - it that time again

Asahi made great things – and still do perhaps, but I’ve only tested their old stuff :)
