Some Romanticism....

[Rense Haveman]

Back on Pentaxforums.com I'm joining a challenge, again, called 'Single in...'. The idea: shoot and post one photo a day, shot with one particular lens of choice during one whole month. My choice is the Super-Takumar 105/2.8, a famous M42 lens. It's not really suitable for landscapes, unless you 're not aiming at super sharp 'modern' shots.

Here a Italian Romantic painting, shot by me this morning...

Ah, but it seems that if you are aiming at soft and atmospheric shots it is perfect. That is truly beautiful Rense and reminds me of early colour book illustrations.

Gorgeous. A sharp lens would not have been so successful. So beautiful.

If you put a kilted highlander with his girl in there you have the perfect cover for a romance novel.

Very nice - a "better" lens would only have yielded a sharp photo of a not particularly attractive tree. The atmosphere is what creates the photograph here.
