Ruby In Mono : Vintage Helios 44-2 58mm f2

My previous photo was my Granddaughter Willow. Here's another of my favourite ladies , Ruby our little whippet

Shot wide open using my Sony A7 and one of my beautiful Russian vintage lenses, the Helios 44-2 58mm f2

I've not used the 44-2 for a few weeks now and you forget how fabulous it is to use and what stunning images it can create.

This is Ruby telling us it is her tea time. I had to shoot quickly as one cannot come between a whippet and her tea. She raced me into the kitchen telling me to get a move on !


Ruby, you look stunning! A lovely portrait of her, Phil!

He is such a cute dog and also your daily companion. Love your capture in mono. Re yesterday's picture I had prepared a short narrative on Word. I copied it to paste along with the photo. I must have forgotten to press paste.

What a precious little girl. Love her expression. Regarding her tea she sounds just like my German Shepherd. We have to be careful about were we are standing when mentioning a potential mealtime. He turns into a 36kg bullet
