Where is my master?

An opportunity to try my sudden acquisition of a really weird vintage lens.
This dog was a bit distressed waiting for his owner when  a friend (I assume) came to console him.

Swirly bubbly world

I am slowly discovering an new way to create dreamy images: from bubbly bokeh to swirly backgrounds.
Majority of vintage lenses, simple in optical design, are often technically riddled with faults, something that modern auto-focus lenses have overcome.
But it's those faults that I really seek to create photographs that offer a certain unusual visual appeal.













And the lens that creates this magic? a diminutive cine lens from 1955 : Kodak Ektar 25mm f1.9

Piercing blue eyes

A unique puppy caught my attention; I could not help but stare at his eyes.

Before the rain

There was rain in those clouds but nothing could get in the way for an evening run on the beach.

Fluffy and Tiger

Time over I have observed a similarity of appearance between dog and owners.
This scene seems to fit  :-)

Foreshore playground

There is a dog friendly beach that I like to visit at sunset.
Not all dogs like to chase balls and retrieve sticks, some are just happy to stroll or go for a swim.

Walk with Emma

She loves to walk in the forest for the fresh air.
If the weather is warm a quick dip in the refreshing crystal waters of the alpine lake.

Rockit and the sea

The mesmerizing and soothing power of watching the sea.

Dog walk at low tide

There is a special relationship between a dog and man; one can tell a lot from their interaction.
