Nikon Df with the old 35-70

Although I’m not sure exactly where I’ll be in a few weeks I do know that I’ll have to do a lot of real photography again.

So then its a good idea to drag a camera along each morning!

Today I chose the hardest combo: an old, narrow 35-70, this is the result :-)

Droplets in the humid cold

Its far easier to create things ad-hoc with more extreme optics, but this worked well early on!

Lots of colour

I could have worked harder on this one, and with other lenses it could have been spectacular. Still this is not bad for an old throwaway lens and a brisk walk!

Reflexes from droplets

Looks like its springtime, but its not… I didn’t expect this brilliant rendering, so that is a good thing!

Some lens flare

I’ve always enjoyed lens flare, and got a lot of experience with that as a music/concert photographer in the early nineties.

This is actually quite good for a cheap zoom!

That’s it for today!

The point with this exercise is really to test & demonstrate my workflow. Overall I might have spent half an hour or less on this.

It all comes down to spending the hours, after soon to be 40 years into this in serious ways I should be able to produce a lot, wherever I go next :-)
