Leitz 90mm Elmar LTM in Color

When I was writing the earlier post on this lens (see: Leitz 90mm f4 Elmar LTM) I realized that I’d only shown black and white images. So since the weather wasn’t particularly pleasant I decided to take some color pictures using it in and around our house:

Above – Orchid.

One of my wife’s plants (I have no idea what it is).

Still life

Blue and white vessels on a red cabinet

Clouds. Taken while walking the dog after the weather had picked up a bit.

2016 Favorites – Color

The previous post featured my favorite black and white pictures for 2016. This one highlights the color pictures. Again in no particular order.

Another year has whizzed by and it’s time to post some of my favorite pictures from 2016 – black and white first. Like last year I’m presenting my ten favorites – in no particular order.

At this point last year I said:

I’ve been trying to find a focus for my photography, which at the moment is all over the place. I had thought that my primary interest was in old buildings. However, in looking at my favorites I was surprised to discover that none of them (black and white or color) contain old buildings. While I’ve taken lots of pictures of old buildings over the year it seems that I don’t consider any of them to be favorites. Just for curiosity I looked back at 2014 favorites and found that the same was true in 2014: pretty much no buildings. Go figure!

The same is pretty much true this year too: A few abstracts; a couple of wildlife pictures; a couple of ‘people’ pictures; a still life; a landscape of sorts. No sign of a focus emerging.

Maybe I’m just interested in a lot of different things rather than being passionate about a single subject.
