Relaxing at home with the camera and a new #vintage lens #Helios44, learning how to use my new #fuji #fujifilm #fujifilmx camera, practising my #photography . I took a #naturephotography #animal picture of the #cat #portrait #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhitephoto relaxing.
Testing Helios in late afternoon Valletta, June 2024. I'm absolutely stunned by the sharpness of this lens.

The Spider Web Galaxies.

One of the more complex spiders (plural) webs that I've seen. Five or more multi-line anchor points to the plants on either side allow the whole arrangement to flex in the wind without breaking.

Several webs are built in and around the centre; the angled disks reminds me of the spiral galaxies in Hubble photos.
