In the Shade

A trip to the woods with the Helios lens - had forgotten how to use it! I'm finding if I don't take photographs regularly with Manual mode I'm struggling when I do try and take any. Guess the answer is to get back into the habit.

A lovely result. I have the same trouble with my Helios lens, I need to get out with it more often, a lot of trial and error in my case!

The Helios lens is an unpredictable soul, in my humble opinion. I really do like this and it really needs to be seen on black. Fav!

Keep working the Helios, this is beautiful. And for @pistache I have three Helios lenses and bought them on flea market and eBay. The thing is, they were attaced to old Zenit cameras and sellers didn't know of the lens value. That made them cheap and worth the risk if they wouldn't work (they all did)
