I finally got back to the shop. Had to shoot a scene in a upcoming online documentary on purple gold. So there I was with a short break, a torch and my camera. Of hundreds of frames I think the Fire Rose was the best. Only lightly ‘shopped. Tone contrast and crop ONLY.

March FavoritesYou've seen these all already but looking back, just because. These are my favorite shots of this last month. That 1937 Zeiss Sonnar is such a gloriously wonderful bit of glass. Thanks for looking.
