busted out the old sears 55mm f/1.4 lens with a short extension tube. this lens is from the early-mid 70s from what i can tell, single coated, and absolutely immaculate. taken with the k10d fo sho.

wide open...not really sharp cause the plant was moving, but i loveeeeeeee the dreamy quality:

messed around with a car's sun reflector (for the windshield) cause it was silver. reflector at camera right, flash bounced into it, f/2 i want to say. everything was hand-held

The DOF is soooo shallow, I love the bokeh though

not only is a 1.4 lens, it's on an extension tube...plus it was getting dark fast

I like the second one, first one just looks way out of focus.
