A photograph of an expanse of blue sky,. At the top-centre of the image a seagull can be seen (we are looking from directly below it) in flight with its black-tipped wings fully extended. To the right of the image a metal framework of some description can be seen. In the top left corner of the image a few branches of a tree can be seen.

Stare long at the seagull, become mesmerised, go mad...

A photograph of a red tulip. The tulip is in the centre of the image against an out of focus background consisting of a terracotta colour tiled wall proceeding bottom left to top right with a bed of sand colour peddles beneath. Other green stems can be seen in the image on the right and behind the tulip. There are many bokeh bubbles in the background, particularly at the bottom, giving the photo an almost impressionist quality.

Fingal county council's flower boxes are providing me with ample subjects, particularly taken with this tulip.

Five massive vintage Carl Zeiss Jena large-format lenses arranged on a light wooden table. The collection includes four Apo-Tessars with focal lengths of 60cm, 75cm, 90cm (which has a small dent on the outer rim), and a giant 120cm f/11. In the center sits a smaller Tessar 300mm f/3.5. The lenses are black with white engravings showing their technical specifications and serial numbers, with the glass reflecting the overhead light.

Collected a few CZJ Tessars over the years. The 90cm has a small dent, call it a battle scar, but at this scale, it’s basically a rounding error. I call it 'character,' as they’ve always been workhorses, not just collector items.

A close-up photograph of a signal box, through the box's window, which has an old wooden frame painted white, can be seen a variety of bright red levers in a black lever frame. A contrasted to the white frame of the windows is the dark green of the walls and door to the right of the image.

I've taken a few shots of this signal box, this I think is the most Interesting.

A black & white photograph of a perforated steel shutter. Through the perforations can be seen a court yard with a thin bollard in the middle and a wall towards the right, the pavement is a cobbled surface.

Probably one of the more enigmatic shots I got at the weekend.

A photograph of a Camellia Japonica plant, specifically it is the Bushfield's Yellow cultivar. The focus of the image is on a large white and yellow flower in the centre, it is framed by two branches with myriad green leaves on either side. Several other white-yellows flowers are visible on the left, bottom and top of the image. To the left attached to a branch is a white tag giving details about the plant, hence why I knew it was a bushfield's yellow camellia. In background in the top and right of the image you can see the characteristic "soap bubble" bokeh effect that vintage Carl Zeiss Jena lenses are known for.

I wasn't sure about this when I took it, didn't think I'd got the focus correct, however it came out lovely. Especially that bubble bokeh effect in the background.

A photograph of a black cat with green eyes framed by two railing posts, both of which have been turned green by moss and lichen. The cat is looking directly at the camera, she's a friendly local cat whose name I sadly don't know.

Finally snapped one of the local cats, gorgeous!

A photograph of the entrance to an estuary. The lower half of the image is mostly blue water with a tinge of green, there are many buoys of various colours floating all over the water. Prominent in the centre of the image is a black pontoon with two dingies on it, a smaller red one and a larger black one. To the upper left of the pontoon are two white sail boats which are positioned on the edge of the left-hand sandbank which itself is topped with grass. On the other side of the image is the right-hand sandbank, it is slightly flatter than the left-hand one. Above everything is a blue sky speckled with clouds that extend across the image.

Photo from yesterday in Malahide.

A close-up photograph of a stainless-steel chain-link fence. Through the fence a yellow handrail can be seen proceeding from the top left to the bottom right.

Got a CZJ Tessar this morning, genuinely fascinated by the quality of a lens that's older than I am.

An old 35mm camera, a Pentax Spotmatic, is shown in a leather camera case but open. The lens is not standard but a Carl Zeiss Jena lens, a 35mm focal length. The camera strap is orange yellow and burgundy patterned.

Got my latest Zeiss lens! A 35mm Flektogon, multi-coated sweetness. Finally found a converter so the Canon (EF mount) lenses can come here to the M42 screw mount and vice versa. #photography #Zeiss #lens #Pentax #Canon #Asahi #Olympus #Flektogon #Sonnar #Biotar #Planar #Tessar #Pancolar

I gave the previous one to my Son, so bought another CZJ Tessar. For 11 quid. No fungus this time but stuck aperture which is now fixed. There are other CZJ Tessars but this one is mine #cameragear #Zeiss #Jena #Tessar
