NaAn Posted October 24, 2024 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Please don’t ask me why I did it 😀 I want to share some of the images. I like it and hope it looks ok for the first time. After modern and quality lenses to use something very different and difficult was a challenge for me but I enjoyed and hope to use it more often.

NaAn Posted October 24, 2024 Author Share #4 Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) Some more 🙃 Lense is slightly damaged but it’s ok for me. First image as it is, no editing. Second image is a crop and little swirly bokeh is visible. I know, I have to find the right background for the magical effect that lens can create. Practice is the key for beautiful photos 😉 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

It’s great to hear you enjoyed stepping out of your comfort zone. Would love to see the images you captured—bet they turned out amazing for your first time with a different setup! My younger brother was struggling with his custom essay assignment, so I helped him find this https://academized.com/write-my-essay service. They provided an excellent essay that met all his specifications and even included additional references to strengthen the arguments. He received top marks and was incredibly thankful for the support. This service is a reliable resource for students looking for quality work that’s tailored to their needs. Breath-taking photos. I mean it is called talent which for me some new photographers don't have. They just use costly products but they don't know how to use them. But not all :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
