A little Russian in the night

Took a quick wander down Beach Road and Walking Street with a Russian Helios 103 lens strapped to the GX1. Manual focus, ISO a lot, and F1.8. I rather like the results, an almost paint like quality with crazy bokeh. Not bad for a lens that can still be found new for less than $40.

Very nice results - tho that second one screams “Red Light District” ;-)

Which is where it was taken so that’s good!

Taking photos of dubious masculinity on Walking Street may lead to interesting propositions

Walking street invariably leads to interesting propositions from genders of all types. One learns to be dismissive.
