Var ute och testade ett gammalt objektiv (Super-Takumar 85mm f1.9) och skulle plåta en bålgeting jag såg. Dessvärre hann den iväg, men fick istället en riktigt cool linsreflex i form av en regnbåge. #photography #takumar #supertakumar #takumar85mm #adaptedlens #lensflare #rainbow #rainbowlensflare #vintagelens #vintagelenses #pixelfedsweden

Did my induction to volunteer on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire railway today, going to be doing some locomotive restoration. Stopped on the platform after to watch a couple of trains go through, this is a Class 45 "Peak" ferrying a single coach back to the carriage and wagon works.

Gum trees in fog.

The soft light on those damp leaves.

#photography #nature #tree #VintageLens #takumar

A young gum tree stands right of centre, moisture laden from the fog, it's leaves a golden green in the soft ambient light. A yelllow and gray trunk of a much larger tree stands behind it, others further behind lost in the mist, shapes in the grey.

Forest bits.

Misty weather Nov 2024.

#photography #lutruwita #forest #nature #VintageLens #takumar

A leafy branch reaches into the frame from lower right, older leaves green, the flush of new growth at the top in contrasting pastel red tones.. The leaves are damp, dotted with raindrops. Blurry background in green and dark brown forest tones.

A bottlebrush tree sprouts it's flowers. One is partially open in the near foreground, an array of tendrils reaching upwards, white stemmed with yellow pollen ends. The rest of the flower is contained in many small spherical structures yet to open. Blurry forest tones in the mist behind.

A young gum tree sprouts waxy white-green new leaves at it's tip, each leaf in the young plant wrapping around the stem to appear as one structure. Forest floor blurry background in dark brown tones.

A vibrant green-leaved branch hangs down into the frame in this portrait layout image. The leaves are lit from behind by soft diffused misty light, the mist gathering into large droplets which hang at the ends. Blurred background in green and misty grey tones.

Life Goes On.

#photography #nature #VintageLens #takumar

Wet bark lays on the ground filling most of the frame, inner tree side facing up, it's vivid red brown an indication it recently fell. A ground level fern-like plant was partially covered and has sprouted 2 tiny fronds through cracks in the bark. Old bark and dry leaf debris scattered on the forest floor.

Swordgrass Seedhead.

The mist just heavy enough to form droplets on the tiny strands of spider web.

#photography #nature #forest #VintageLens #takumar

The end of a dark swordgrass seed head lays into the frame at left, ending at mid right. It's wet from the misty air, droplets forming at the stem ends and along tiny strands of spider web (no spider to be seen). Blurry forest in the background.

Swordgrass in the Mist.

#photography #nature #forest #VintageLens #takumar

Several swordgrass plants with tall, dark seed stems in the mist. Tall gum tree trunks behind, some scarred from past wildfires. Vibrant green undergrowth in the foreground. It has the appearance of being silent, serene (it was).

Echidna in the yard.

Such a cutie 😍

#photography #nature #monotreme #echidna #VintageLens #takumar

An echidna walks towards the camera, filling the height of the frame. It's on a dry lawn, a timber paling fence to it's left. Their long nose shows signs of it's foraging for ants, with sand and dirt particles clinging to it's wet nose. It is a sunny day, it's fur shining a golden brown.

Lens: Takumar f/2.8 120mm.

Californian Poppies.

Up close and personal.

The orange is so powerful, the gamut checker in DarkTable obscures the whole flower.

#photography #macro #flower #BloomScrolling #VintageLens #takumar

A powerfully orange poppy flower in side view, petals still unfurling, it's pink base in view. Soft focus blurry background in green and orange.

Macro close up of a flower centre at 45 degrees to the face, all of it's parts on display. An almost alien looking green protrusion with white filaments has grown out through the centre of the orange filaments. Pollen and small insects can be seen around the flower base.

Several poppy flowers in close up, the nearest displaying the pollen coated centre. Blurry green background.

Living on the Edge.

Sheoaks on the bluff at Park Beach.

#PhotoArt #BW #coast #VintageLens #takumar #photography

View from a bluff over water in portrait black and white. Sheoaks cling precariously to a near 70 degree slope in the lower foreground. A Pacific Gull soars level with the trees overr the water below. A distant headland juts into the frame at mid upper left, ending in a low cliff wall. The water is calm, wavy; the sky a nondescript gray.

Two very weathered Sheoaks, each leaning heavily into the other. Wispy white clouds above, dry stony foreground. Image converted to black and white, in portrait layout. This image was taken with a Samyang ultra wide angle lens.

Fore and Aft.

#photography #CloseUp #fungi #SpiderWeb #VintageLens #takumar

A small dry twig has fungi-type spores growing on the underside in close up. The twig blurs out of focus into the background, joining the main branch at left, where a spider's web appears. Blurry forest tones in green and brown in the background.

Same scene, now with focus on the spider web. It has been thickened with a zig zag pattern along it's support lines, and rather than the typical circular shape, it's a 3D structure between multiple points with many planes of surface. The fungi spores are blurred out of focus in the foreground. Blurry forest tones in green and brown in the background.

Fields of Depth.

These were taken half an hour before the dolphin photos posted a few days ago.

#PhotoArt #landscape #CloseUp #VintageLens #takumar

A seagull is diving into the water at left with a rocky headland behind them. The bay continues at right, a hill in the far distance. A branch in the near foreground divides the scene in half vertically, blurred by it's proximity to the camera. Landscape image converted to black and white.

A fallen branch in the near foreground spans the upper left to centre lower right, gnarled and weathered. It's from the same vantage point as the former image - the headland and water blurred in the background. Landscape image converted to black and white.

Escheresque Webbing.

No spiders in sight.

#PhotoArt #SpiderWeb #VintageLens #takumar

A spiderweb attached to a small branch radiates outward from the centre left to the far right, top and bottom edges. Several radial sections have been enhanced with 'double weaving' making a geometric snaking pattern along those branches of the web. Although some regularity is evident, other parts seem to wander randomly.

Dry Thistle Heads.

The swirl of thistledown in the centre caught my attention.

#PhotoArt #thistle #bw #VintageLens #takumar #photography

A dry thistle head in the late stages of flowering, a swirl of soft thistle down revealed in the centre of the dry petals. Other heads blurred below, the background lost in focus. Lndscpe layout done in black and white.

Bull Rushes.

I stopped by this waterhole hoping to get some dragonfly/bird/wildlife pics, but none about that day. Liked the deep brown of the bull rush head against the verdant green leaves.
