O is for - Orchid

I had a go at free-lensing using an old 35mm lens that my camera will not accept, but off the body it does fire. I obviuosly need to practice to get the blurred area more blurred, but I'm right chuffed with sharp focused parts!
Lovely details in this and pretty colors.

and right chuffed you should rightly be! love it 😊 and the orchid is always a splendid subject

Lovely soft focus. I've never tried free-lensing. It looks challenging!

I've never heard of free lensing but I would probably struggle to get such a clear image with my lens firmly affixed! Great image.

This pure magic. The softness is magical. I must remember to try old lenses like this. Fav

@30pics4jackiesdiamond My 365er FAV boards are strictly for the photos I FAV on 365. There is no other pins there. The act of "pinning" picks up the title of the photo, and the "@" from 365 exactly as it is. It would be your title "by @30pics4jackiesdiamond." I have three boards I pin to for 365er FAVs. The links to my boards are listed under my profile, if you're interested. I hope this answers your questions, if not - holler and I'll be happy to try again.

@marlboromaam thank you Ms M. I clicked on your profile links and you've collected many stunners there!! I'm rubbish with social media and have a distrust of it, my kids say I'm naïve, but I'm old!! I'm flattered to be invited to be Pinned, and appreciate many here, and elsewhere, don't have the courtesy to ask! X
August 16th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond You can never go wrong by trying again
August 16th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL! I'm old, too and I went through this myself. I always ask and without the owner's okay, I won't pin. If you change your mind, please let me know! Those boards are an inspiration to me and many other 365ers.
