I have used a Soviet lens that is more than 60 years old, a Helios-40 85 mm f1.5.
Photo 2 - Behind the scenes -- It is a macro extension tube and a lens adapter between the lens and the camera body.

When the Subject Chooses You: A Burst of Curiosity and Light

In photography, intention often serves as the starting point. But, it is not always the destination. What begins as a careful study of color, form, and composition of a flower can quickly evolve into something far more spontaneous. This image, originally conceived as a portrait of a vibrant orange marigold, became instead a quiet narrative of curiosity, instinct, and the gentle unpredictability of life. At the center of the frame, the marigold stands in soft focus with the orange petals […]

I have so many pictures of snow and ice from this winter on my laptop. Enough to keep the winter theme going on for a while. But with spring comes the urge for colours, so if I post them all, they’ll probably be spread out over a long time.
These are from the weekend when I obsessed over the icicles hanging from my shed.

A series from a while ago, when I did some macro shots of the snow on my window.
I had started in daylight, but when darkness came, it was a challenge to get the focus right. But it turned out that the pictures where the focus wasn’t perfect had a different quality, so swipe to see the last two pictures and please tell me what other universe had invaded my window that night.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lens: Tamron 90mm f/2.8
