John Sheldon's photos with the keyword: 50mm prime lens

September 2011. A salmon-pink rose that becomes pink as it fades. Dark green foliage. Variety unknown. I hope the shallow depth of field reflects the idea of 'fading'. SMC Pentax-A 50mm f1.7 lens on Pentax K10D, raw file processed to jpeg in RawTherapee 4.

September 2011. The book is 'Chronicles of a Friendship' by the late Robert Craft. The Friend in question is the composer Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971) and this dried oak leaf reminded me of Stravinsky's neo-classical music called 'Dumbarton Oakes'. SMC Pentax-A 50mm f1.7 lens on Pentax K10D, raw file processed to jpeg in RawTherapee 4.

Ideal indoor plant for the winter months. Native to Madagascar. (Toxic to dogs and cats if eaten - but they would have to be mighty hungry to do so!) Snow covered silver birch tree in the background. SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm prime lens.

We may need to keep an eye on this part of the garden border. A fungus - Collared Earthstar (Geastrum triplex). SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm prime lens.

A replacement for the lens I foolishly sold in 2013. The plastic aperture ring is as crusty as might be expected from a 30 year old lens. I managed to set it to A without breaking anything, and there it will stay.
