What I have is a manual Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/1.7 from the film days (on a crop sensor, though, so effectively 80mm). What I don’t have are real Christmas tree lights. Our little tree has small red (only) bulbs and is pretty inaccessible photo-wise. But I’ll think about it. My wife is home from work all this week and might not take too kindly to me setting up a photo shoot in the living room. Who knows…
100% typical cat. “What?? I meant to do that, dumb human…”
So is that adapted to Canon mount? I’ve seen adaptors for that, really thin because the difference in flange distance is so small. But on the right side though.
Yeah, bought a little $15 Pentax K to Canon EF-S mount adapter from Amazon. Seems to work fine. Without a split screen I feel like I’m searching for focus, but in a weird sense that’s kinda part of the idea, so to speak.
This is Little Lake in the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge near Whitehall, Louisiana. Despite getting some rain (but not a lot), it’s still down following our unusually hot and dry summer this year. Normally, there would be nothing but water visible here. Not deep, but totally flooded. This is typical of many – if not most – lakes in Louisiana right now.
In this image I went for a more minimalist approach than I usually take. This was shot through a manual Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/1.7 lens (at f/5.6).
On Christmas morning, we drove down to Loch Etive, on a road that is single track with occasional passing places. The weather was better, but still not good, this is Loch Etive
Maybe this one should be called “Charge your battery and took some photos”…
It a re-process of a blue hour shot taken in November 2009 with my old 8mp* Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D), on Irons Fork Lake in western central Arkansas.
There was some beautiful soft, golden evening light on the neighbouring house, I wanted to capture. Came out surprisingly well, given that I had to shoot through a pretty dirty window
