Swirly Garden
Beautiful weather, nice flowers, bees and swirly bokeh. What more could you wish for?
At some point I decided it might be nice to buy a vintage lens. I thought I’d found a good deal. Instead I ended up with a broken camera and a Helios 44M-6 lens with fungus.
After learning how to clean the lens, I discovered that even a damaged lens can produce great pictures.
With one of those pictures I was able to reach my yearly goal: getting published in the local newspaper.
