Rose by Takumar ...

... Small pause while coping with the boxes, after moving to a new flat.
Just a picture of a rose growing between trees, in half-light - the white spot beyond is a sunbeam passing through the branches. Shot with the Takumar 105 at f/4 (thanks Pentax for this great lens).

Wishing to test my "new" lens (guess where it come from ;-) ...), i bought a yellow orchid and placed it against my window, using the white wall of my flat as background.
The shots have been taken in full manual mode, with anti-shake on (thanks again, Pentax) at f/8.

Playing with the Flektogon and the K10D ...

Hi all, wondering to test my CZJ Flektogon asap, i just managed to get some shots of a red cotton shawl, using some artificial light - actually, 3 halogen bulbs - and the "new" lens wide open ... The shots have been resized to fit the size limits imposed by my free flickr account, otherwise they have not been retouched by GIMP. They have been taken in full manual mode, without a tripod, but with the anti-shake activated - Thanks Pentax ;-) ...
