Exactly genuine scene was rather green than this colors. Lens modified in the best way this is the power of old lenses. Today lenses are sharp thanks for very stupid comparative tests, mtf charts nothing else. I miss art what this oldies can produce.

I think this is my best for the year, taken this fall:



It's the only pic I have that received two awards on flickr, anyway.

Bessa-L/Heliar 15 and cheap Walgreens 400 film, scanned at 2400dpi on
Epson 4490. I'm really thinking about upgrading to an Epson V700...

I made a lot of pictures. In this year only. My adventure with photography begun when I bought my first manual lens. At the end of January this year. Sometimes those I like the best don't receive any critique neither good nor very bad. Well, let me show the photo which got higher score between all my photos. If you don't like it - be honest. I will not take it as anything personal. Photo was taken in February 2008 with manual Tamron 2.8/90 on K10D Pentax body.
Here we go



All your photos remind me that I am still far away. I am just a rookie.

Great shots here!

Sorry, guys, I cannot decide which shot is my best one. Thus, I have to pass.
