Bricks and Mortar

Bricks and Mortar
I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50.

The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

For the walls of the Temple no doubt. The vivid appreciation of the quotidian that the single photograph can be.
