Sunday Bench

I plan to only use my nifty-fifty lens this month on the Pentax. It was a real challenge this afernoon, and took me back to olden days of pre zoom and wide angle on one lens.

Went to a minuature steam engine fair today. I took loads of photos of steam engines, chimneys and smoke/steam, engine parts, grubby, sooty people, fires and flames. Practised panning, long exposure and getting composition just about right.

So, what do I upload for my first nifty-fifty sooc for September? Out of focus agapanthus and a bench

You've captured a most romantic quality. This is a perfect Sunday morning image. Fav.

lovely focus :)

[Shutterbug]

The out of focus agapanthus make a nice background for the very focused bench. Kind of invites a story.

I love this. Looks like a painting. I was wondering for Get Pushed if you'd be up for taking one of your previous challenges where you didn't use your nifty fifty and recreate it with this lens? Then link us to the old photo so we can see the two?x

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like the lighting on this, the pov and the overall feel of a nice quiet Sunday. Seems like a great way to start the nifty fifty September if you ask me!

[Diane]

I like your focus! Nice shot for the challenge.

[wendy frost]

Lovely capture well done with your challenge.

[Kathy]

A lovely scene. Very peaceful. The light and shadows as well as those lovely purple flowers make the scene more than ordinary.

[Hazel]
