A Snapshot of a Place and Time


I was testing an old lens that a friend had given me 40 years ago.  It is a 55mm f/1.2 Nikkor lens.  It is meant for really low light conditions.  I have a modern lens, a 50mm f/1.4 Rokinon lens, and wanted to see how they compare.  When I bought my Sony a7 III I also bought an adapter that would allow me to put old Nikon lenses on my new SONY camera.  So I went into the new back room and saw this scene and composed this shot carefully and shot with both lenses.  It was just a test.  But I was looking at this photograph yesterday and thought that it actually was interesting because it captured a place in time in our house, including the little Reindeer doll on the white table in the corner.

Love it! You definitely captured ‘days of old’! Did Kath make the Reindeer doll?😘

I think she bought it. But it is wonderful sitting on that table or the mantlepiece.

I love the lamp and table. Classic. And then a bit of whimsy in the corner. Betsey
