Willow Wand at f2 : Helios 44-2 vintage lens

The beautiful vintage Helios 44-2 58mm prime lens is renowned for creating beautiful bokeh.

Judge for yourself if you think it has done a good job here on the Willow wand in our garden.

A willow wand is made from 9 whips of willow branches. Once planted it will grow a topiary crown (as seen in the photo)
