Meet My Crew...

Image
So, this is my core crew... relaxing at home waiting for quarantine to lift... One the left, in the back, we have the the enforcer, the K3, wearing top hat and tails - the 150-450... top hat removed and set aside (left/front)... Then old yeller, the K7, sporting the ranger - the 55-300... Next the overseer - the Rokinon 14mm... Then the grifter, the KP, sporting a lovely little eye-spy - the 50mm 1.4 - though she is eye-spying her favorite little black dress to her left (your right) - the 100mm 2.8 Macro... Next we have Frank and Dino, the K1Mii duo... one wearing his shirt with the top buttons undone, 28-70, with a little bling on top, Godox R2ProII trigger, while the other is running top down and ready for anything... That's my crew - well, most of them... As for the rest, well... I would introduce you but then they'd have ta'... ya' know.

So I was putting my DSLR away and glanced over to my film shelves... There sat my gorgeous little 1980's Pentax-M 1:2 50mm... The KP is a crop sensor so effective is 75mm. I looked at it... I looked at my KP... I looked at it... I looked at... ... ... Okay, so we all know where this is going! I popped it on my KP and went straight down the stairs to my favorite test ground... Say it with me: kitchen table flowers. My beautiful wife discovered years ago that fresh flowers on the kitchen table are something that just gives me a little inside smile no matter what the day brought - and since my rose garden isn't 100% consistent she always tries to have fresh but flowers from the flower shop on the table for me. Sorry, folks, she's taken - lord knows why she puts up with me, but so far looks like she's stick'n around. Brand new body | 40 year old glass | A little sunny 16 math...
