Stacked Up

This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge: Stack prompt.

I had a couple of ideas for the challenge before changing direction completely. I had my table top studio and lights set up and had been adapting various lenses to a couple of mirrorless cameras. Having spent 5 minutes looking through a plastic tote for the correct adapter at one point I decided two things. First, I would stack some of the adapters up for a photo for this challenge. Then I would try to find a better way to organise the various adapters.

There’s 11 different adapters stacked up fitting 5 different lens mounts and 4 different camera mounts.

A New Lens

This is my contribution to Nancy’s A Photo a Week Challenge: Something New prompt.

This is my latest unusual lens. A tiny 25mm CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. I purchased it to replace one that the focusing mechanism keeps jamming on.

Photographed using a cheap 35mm CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. I used my new LED studio lights with a red filter on one of the lights.

Jujubes

This is my contribution to Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: January Close Up or Macro.

Jujubes (or Ju-jubes or JuJubes, take your pick) photographed with a cheap 35mm CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. An experiment that didn’t really work out as expected. The lens doesn’t seem to produce the swirly, streaking corners and edges when close focused.

Autumn Maple Leaves

This is my contribution to Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: Macro or close up prompt.

Three Maple leaves in the autumn photographed with a cheap 35mm f/1.7 CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. I rather like the strange swirly background the lens can produce at times.

Taken on one of my walks around the neighborhood with an unusual lens on the camera.

No Comments on Ivy in soft afternoon light

This Ivy growing up a tree trunk on the South Bruce Peninsula is a regular subject on my walks around the neighborhood.

Taken on a recent walk when I had a cheap 35mm CCTV lens adapted to the mirrorless camera I was using. I rather like the soft, slightly swirly edges of the frame the lens produces.
