    Great shot, Daniel. Helios 44M - is that an old manual lens on your Nikon?

    Thanks Rob, the Helios 44M(there are many variant) is a Russian copy of a Zeiss Biotar 58 F2 lens from the 40-50s. It is all metal very solid lens, do a search on the Helios 44 for it's history. The lens is renowned for its out of this world bokeh. On the Nikon, you need a m42 to F adapter that gives no infinity on less the adapter as a lens in it. I prefer to use it for close subject and macro so no lens in my adapter. BTW, it is super cheap $ and very sharp like what one would expect from a Zeiss lens.

    Abstracts - refreshing change. thumb.gif
    Goes well with your previous image, Black light..... perhaps add a third for a triptych?
    Again, cool image - but I'm biased, I happen to be hard-wired for Blue.

    Thank you Eric... Good idea about the triptych, I will be adding another blue abstract soon.
