A little hint of color...
Shot with my manual Pentacon 50mm.
I was trying to get a nice contrast between the bubbly bokeh from this lens and the sharp spikes from a blackberry bush.
It didn't happen, unfortunately the bubbles were a bit shy in this particular occasion and had better things to do than pose for a noob photographer as myself...

On the next one they finally decided to show up and cooperate a bit more, but no spiky bushes anywhere to enhance that texture contrast.
The best thing I could spot were these pointy leaves... We never manage to get it all, right?
This was one of the first shots I captured with this lens, right after snagging it from Ebay.
My experience with manual focus was pretty much close to zero (-3 to be exact), and all I was trying to do was to figure out how things work.
One of those happy random coincidences I guess. More of those please!

Beautiful photos!
Nice work! Who needs a Leica Noctilux?! :)
No, no, I don't believe that your experience with manual focus was close to zero :D Just kidding! Great shot, well actually it's an amazing shot! What a happy random coincidence ;)
