Stay At Home Challenge - Week 6


Recommended Posts

Show us what you've been photographing since the lockdown, it could be stuff through your window, in your garden, on your way to work or shopping, or what your town looks like....

It's just meant as a bit of fun to keep us all occupied during our isolation....

I do love olive  bread with a plate of sliced vine- ripened  tomatoes,  some crumbled feta cheese on top .... fresh basil, some  olive oil to dip the  bread in and a cold Italian beer.   Crikey ... that's whetted my appetite  Beepy ...

Just saw what lens you were using Beepy ...  are you training down the Gym too ! They look a good price don't they ? Is it a old toy or a recent acquisition....

 I'm awaiting delivery  an early Jupiter 8 50mm f2   at the moment ... Once you start on these lenses it's hard to stop innit ..:yes

Perhaps he was using it with a Zenit Photosniper.....

 

It was the TAIR-3-PhS from the PhotoSniper kit but not on the mount as it doesn't really play well with the digital bodies - I need to rig up a proper electronic trigger for it first.

I've had the kit a year or so, came in the shop in excellent condition, in its original metal case with the extra 44-2 lens, the filters, film tubs and screw driver. Its a fun lens to use but a bit unwieldy and with a cheap 2x converter on a right PITA to handle.

Got this with it earlier...

Striking colours. What bird is that, BP?

Aha... the British Magpie Cheryl ... they  thieve the eggs from the nest of our songbirds ... they look lovely  but it's to like them when you see them swooping down and eating the newly hatched ducklings as well  on our pond... grrrr

Oh dear. Sounds like the way our Butcher Birds behave. - the name says it all. Related to Australian magpies with beautiful song. I find it interesting how similar, but different, so many birds are in the UK and Australia,

Decided to push things a little further - thats a Soligor 400mm f6.3 with a Praktica 2x converter on the T3

Grim results but I did get something. Shot the camera with my favourite vintage lens, a Canon nFD 50mm f1.4 which gives absolutely beautiful results

I get  lovely  circular bokeh on my prime  35mm  and my 56mm lens  Rye  but  it's an elliptical and  strangely weird swirly  one on the  Helios ... That certainly is full of bokeh ! Is it a dove of some sort  or a very posh pigeon?

Well Hello Paul !!!
