As with many seasonal creeks, the height of water comes and goes, depending on the rainfall. Â To prevent erosion, boulders have been dropped alongside the creek, which helps keep overflow contained as the stream wends its way to Paradise Falls a few miles away.
Again, the Nikon Df with the Vivitar Series 1 135mm f2.3 lens.
I’ve pulled out a few old lenses. Â This is a Vivitar 30-80mm from the 70s. Â I took this checking out the focus, to remember how to use it, as well as check for lens creep. Â Knowing all these helps when out shooting. Â This lens has lens creep, but it is a really sweet lens to use, with film or digital. Â Pure happenstance occurred when I took this – I was focusing on the ridges in this shawl, and didn’t see the notebook next to the folds. Â Only when I saw the picture did I realize the coincidence.
This is a view of the little creek that runs through our neighborhood park. Â It’s a pleasant place to wander. Â When I went there this weekend, a border collie was doing what they do best – running and plopping in the water, staying submerged, and then shaking it all out. Â A family was there, exploring and showing their toddlers the crayfish. Â (I think the dad was the funniest – a big little boy!) Â I was enjoying myself, being an audience to it all, while finding new growth, leaves, and viewing a magnificent sky filled with clouds.
I did post in LR and OnOne, using a VSCO preset for Fuji Astia in the final rinse (so to speak.)
Spring is just around the corner . . . . I went out this morning to a local park with my Nikon Df and some of my old, classical 1970s lenses. Â This was taken with the renown Vivitar Series 1 135mm f2.3 lens, made by Komine. Â It’s one of my all-time faves.
A little bit of sunshine . . .
