February 1, 2017 8227 I photographed my Pentax 50mm f1.4 for an earlier post (using this Canon 50mm) and now, the roles are reversed. These images of the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM were created with the Pentax. As much as I appreciate the silky smoothness of the Pentax, I really
January 31, 2017 8220 Today marks the end of the first month of this project – 31 days down. I think I feel a sense of accomplishment, though I know I left a few on the field (to borrow a football phrase). There were certainly a few days that I
January 30, 2017 8188 Today was taxing.

I wanted to get at least
January 28, 2017 8152 Canon 50D Available light in the kitchen – “E” and I took a moment for cups of tea this afternoon. It’s the kind of cold overcast day that invites hunkering down (and naps). Alas, no naps, but a nice quiet afternoon with soft, even light. Here,
January 27, 2017 8132 I’ve posted images for this 365 project taken with both 50mm lenses that I own. It seemed only appropriate to highlight the lenses themselves at some point. This evening, I wanted to start with the older of the two – my Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4
January 26, 2017 Hadley, MA 8114 The sun was setting and I was driving past a farm road, so I decided to pull down to see what opportunities there were for making images. While there wasn’t much of interest for landscapes, there were a few patches of field that had
January 23, 2017 8053 Canon 50D ISO 1600 @ 1/50 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 @f1.4 More work with available light indoors – this day I switched out my Canon 50mm STM lens for the manual focus Pentax 50mm f1.4 Super Takumar. I love the speed of the lens (f1.4!)

January 18, 2017 7929 Wednesday evening after dinner. Cleaning up and the shelf above the stove caught my eye. I’ve used it as a subject in the past and felt compelled to do so again. We have a few antique accessories and utensils from E’s grandmother that we keep there
