Lighthouse Wharf

My first SOOC for the month. I'm not going to have a full calendar but will try to add a few here and there. I don't have a lens that I use normally at 50mm ( closest is 56mm) so I dug out this old Minolta 50mm which I'm using through a dumb adapter so losing the auto focus and no recording of f-stop etc. It's going to be a challenge but I'll give it a go.
ETA: I did use Photoshop to resize smaller, to make it easier to post here.
It's a great picture with wonderful lines! Love the B&W too

That is an excellent shot Joanne! Those old lenses are still pretty good. I have some old Canon FD lenses for my AE1 that I sometimes use on my Sony with a dumb adapter. I always mean to record my exposure info but of course I never do. Using that Minolta lens for the sooc challenge really immerses you deeper into recreating the film experience though. Thanks for joining in on the challenge, even if only occasionally.

great result - I like this challenge but it's hard as I'm a big post production lover!

@koalagardens I am too and I've never really seen the virtue in refusing to use all the tools available, to achieve the image you want but, I thought it might do me good to try the challenge to see if it does give me a new viewpoint. Don't think I'm good for a whole month of days but I do intend to give it at least a decent go.

The b&w gives a nice softness where the pier, water, and sky all meet! Fav
