Monochrome Monday travels back to a walk around the neighborhood yesterday morning.

This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Under the Sun prompt.
I decided to go with a small selection of photos from this spring and summer when I was testing various lenses in a variety of types of sunlight.
Backlit Maple leaves. Taken with the 7artisans 55mm lens wide open at f/1.4.
A Fern frond in dappled sunlight. Taken with the Kamlan 50mm lens wide open at f/1.1.
Dandelions in the shade with sunlight on the background. Taken with the 7artisans 35mm lens wide open at f/1.2.
This summer I have been continuing my experiments with using unusual lenses for various subjects.
One set of photos is using fast portrait lenses to photograph flowers and plants. In this example I used the 7artisans 55mm f/1.4 lens wide open to photograph a Fern frond on a walk around the neighborhood.
This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 5 – Pick a Topic from this Photo.
