Three pictures from my favourite bridge today, in the snow. It was pretty windy, both my batteries my digits stopped working.

Christmas lights, take II

This time with a real camera (and no mist, and lights that were actually green in real life).

1/6s at f/1.8 and 200asa, just to see how f/1.8 looks really.

On Blackstone Boulevard,
with a real camera and a 28mm lens,
in late October.

Make it large & on black, since it might be my favourite picture from this fall.

Below this are a few with the phone-camera instead.

Testing 123...

Michael Abbott — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:04:14 -0800

Michael Abbott posted a photo:

Posting a few tests which I quite liked in the end...

Conclusions are (1) that my camera is not only slow, but reliably focuses behind the target, (2) that I prefer the original screen to the split-prism one, and this is correctly aligned, and (3) that the 43mm lens is in fact not soft wide open, but really really sharp!

Visible here: the unhappy plant, a spider's web only noticed after shooting, some lunch, a happier plant, and my neighbour's window.

Russian Helios-44 lens, the 58mm f/2 standard lens for the Zenitar.

Summary: not bad, quite prone to flare, focuses backwards, built like a T-34 tank, cost less than the M42-to-Pentax-K adapter needed.
