Vintage Lens Filters

Trying out the vintage 1970s rainbow spot and star lens filters on the 85mm canon lens. I found these in a bundle at a carboot sale and throught they would be fun to play with which they are.

Quite gimmicky but the effects are great especially in manual mode where you can create lots of out of focus patterning. Not sure how to use these other than in a disco situation.

I want to look more at lens filters to create effects in camera mainly for blurred sections, soft focus and adding more texture.

Autumn Shadows in the park. Like how the sun hits the bench on the second image.

Clowns in Window

In a window at the end of St Thomas Street, Wells is a collection of wooden puppets. Made by the puppeteers who live there.

Wells Foggy Morning Landscapes - October 2019

Another of my favourite foggy misty mornings. The first bright and cold morning of the year.
Bishops palace fields in Wells have beautiful specimen trees, these were good practice for landscape especially as they are well laid out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 please with the detail on the grass and soft silhouette of the central trees.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 high key soft silhouettes

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 low key - love this old dark horror look.

Happy with the softness of this shot. 50mm

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 the mist creates a back light for the silhouettes to stand out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 - liked this shot enough to try three ways

 Canon 50mm lens warm colour filter in lightroom

 Canon 50mm lens f/18

 Canon 50mm lens f/22

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - taken the following week with a different lens with higher f stop.

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - I liked the landscape shots of the first set but wish I'd had a wider lens with me. Preferred the 50 mm lens but with the lack of mist there weren't the silhouettes created in the trees.
