A walk is always improved by knowing that there is a cat that will be waiting for you to pass by.
This pretty thing sits in her drive (sometimes under the back of the car if it's parked there) waiting for me (?) to pass by on my way home from my walk. She never moves towards me, nor did she back away as I approached her with my camera.
This was part of my flower a day project, taken with a #Helios442 lens, manual settings and focus. This #vintageLens gives a distinctive look and feel to the images that I really like for flower photography.

Over the Labor Day weekend My wife and I visited our favorite camping getaway - Beaver Island Retreat located on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan. I took over 1500 photos and I'll be processing them for ages 😄.
To be fair, many of them are variations and will be deleted...but I'll probably still have a few hundred left over.
So, wieder voll aus dem Urlaub in #Italien zurück. Jetzt gilt es erstmal die ganzen #52WochenFotoChallenge nachzuholen. Habe Fotos zu den Mottos gemacht, konnte sie aber nicht bearbeiten und hochladen.
For long as I've been paying attention to anything at all, I've never seen such a year for roadside chicory in #Vermont. Not just duration, but also extent; it's everywhere. And drat, this is a year I haven't had time to stop along the roadside with an old #vintagelens and see what I can do with it. Right now the blue chicory is with a lot of queen anne's lace, some goldenrod, some loosestrife.
Taking up photography a few years ago really opened my eyes to the beauty around me. For example, I went from not paying attention to sunrises to being mesmerized by them!
These utility towers are located in Lafayette Indiana. I took the photos last weekend (between rainstorms) from Tapawingo Park across the Wabash River in West Lafayette, Indiana.
I really enjoy the constraint of shooting with a prime lens, especially a longer focal length. On this day I was walking around with a vintage Pentax Tele-Takumar 200mm F5.6 lens adapted to my Sony a7R2...so I had no option except to keep my framing tight.
On my recent visit to Casey, IL I came across a lot where several old trucks were parked. Yea!
I used my Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4 lens to take these photos. It is very soft when wide open and adds a little yellow due to the very slightly radioactive thorium in the glass. Works great when going for that vintage look!
