Spring Foliage

These are all taken with one of my favorite lenses. This is the Minolta MC Rokkor-X 50 mm lens. These shots are all manual focus (with focus peaking on the Sony) and manual exposure. I love this “old school” photography as a break from the totally automatic way of doing things. Of course there’s no auto-exposure on the lens to I have no choice but to manually focus.

Brown Nuts

Once again at the Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Gainesville Florida, and yet again a study in manual focus. Love the bokeh this lens produces.

Cranes in Flight

Pre-focused on cranes with my Minolta 50mm Prime manual focus lens and then they took off at Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Gainesville, Florida.



And below the initial picture before they took flight.
