Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8

Trying a new lens! A Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8 with a Nikon adapter. Can't focus on infinity with the adapter, but oh my, look at that bokeh. 

Old and cold...

I did a re-edit of this old photo, maybe because I felt the need to cool down somewhat - there's a warm spell in Sweden right now, and our apartment is very hot, even at 03:00.

Going through the archives...

Recently I've been looking at my old photos, and here's a few I like:

Varmvattnet. A cold morning in November, 2011. 

Not too old, as this is another one from Thailand. Early January 2014. I love the colours here! 

June 2011. Varmvattnet. My cousin's horse Corint in action.

Anna being crafty

I've turned into something of a crocheting freak. Oh my. My first project was an owl, which was shipped overseas to my lovely friend Kim.
A good place to start!
Or here, in English.
With weird imperial units...

I hope he's enjoying Florida!

The second project I finished was a sackboy from the game Little Big Planet, one of the main reasons I wanted to learn to crochet. He's not perfect, but it's a start. Adapted from several patterns, including this!

Sackboy, now living in Finland with my brother David.

Minions are awesome, everyone should have one! Sadly, I haven't found one yet, so instead I made this minion beanie for my friend Isen's birthday. May her ears always be kept warm in the most villainous way possible! Based on this pattern, but changed around to match the yarn I used.

Minion beanie!

Umeå by night

Flip and blend editing

Today I've been doing something new, the flip'n'blend editing technique. The results are very abstract.

 Yay or nay? I can't quite decide...

Thailand, part 2.

Along with the traditional DSLR (Nikon D7000) I brought my new camera phone/phone camera, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. It takes fairly nice pictures as well. See below!

Spring... and Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 AI!

Croci! From earlier this spring.

Trying out a 'new' lens, an old Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 AI. 

Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 AI. Not bad for being full of dust!
