Day 180 - Wednesday 27 October 2010

Shell. I need a couple of images for the PhotoPortal forum monthly competition... a fun competiton for members with no prizes for winning. The theme this month is "Small Object". This tiny shell is one of many collected from a beach in north Wales a few years back. I've used an old Pentacon Prakticar lens from my old Praktica BC1 film camera. It was hand held back-to-front in front of the Sony's body which allows you to get a very close macro shot...


...Sony alpha200, Pentacon Prakticar 35-70 f2.8-4 (reversed), 1/200, ISO 200. The lens was set to f/2.8 but the camera doesn't use this as it thinks there is no lens fitted and assumes a setting of f/1
