Exploring Vintage lenses
My first vintage lens, recently arrived from Ukraine. This is a 1976 Helios 44mm f2 M-style screw mount (I recently overestimated its age, sorry). Verified not to be radioactive. Amazing how cheap these things are on eBay, but still perfectly serviceable with the right (cheap) adapter. Loving the slightly soft focus, if I can nail it. Some neighborhood shots of Magno

Usually not because the gods look like the people worshipping them. However, many of the sea gods & chthonicx gods have looks distinct from the Olympians and could be considered exotic by them and vice versa. In "Milky Sea", the fish-tailed sea god Nerites hooks up with Helios & is…

In a pre-eminent position there are Hera and Zeus in the act of giving Hermes the money with which to redeem the life of man from Hades. Next to Hermes there is Poseidon with his trident; in the two upper corners, the chariot of Selene and the chariot of Helios between Zeus and the man; finally, the Erotes induce…

"Maybe eclipse risk is a tiny bit overhyped; there’s still little harm in erring on the careful side when looking at the sun.
