blossom

I have taken up the challenge from Richard @vignouse to us only 50mm lens and post straight out of the camera. this is using a helios lens which i love for its bokeh effect at wide aperture I think this was f2. 8. need lots of practice as i rely so heavily on autofocus and zoom in and out a lot normally, but happy with this one.

This does create beautiful bokeh. Wonderful focus and light.

Oh I do love my little Helios. Such a great cheap lens. Great flower shot as well Kali

I love the softness of this and the old Helios does indeed produce great bokeh. Great entry for the challenge... thanks for joining in.
