Sad looking still life by helstor365

Sad looking still life

I was going to take two shots of this scene ; one with the UFO lens and one with he Holga to compare the results but after I had shot the UFO lens it started raining like crazy so I had to quit. I'll probably try again later.

Anyway, I was surprised at the results I got with the UFO lens. Quite sharp at this distance. It is a temperamental lens, sometimes it gives me results that I don't really expect or can explain (both positive and negative).

It is not as temperamental as the Holga though. That lens is not only unpredictable but I have two Holgas; one for the Canon M cameras and one for Panasonic/Olympus. The Canon version I'm starting to get to grips with but the Olympus/Panasonic version I don't think I've been able to get a usable photo with yet..... but then I guess that is part of the fun of using these kinds of lenses :-)

Oh and don't mind the heavy vignette in this photo I added that in PhotoShop :-)
It might be a sad looking still life but it is a fabulous image!

I like the naturalness of it - I think it’s a lovely capture. The vignette looks great. I like the three-legged pot. And the pop of red. And the lovely stones. I like everything =)

A nicely composed still life. The IQ looks very good from that little pancake lens. I'll be interested to see the Holga variation if you get the opportunity.

Sad, maybe. Lovely? Yes!
