A young swan (Cygnet) photographed on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Brierfield in the North-West of England. I recently sold some of my auto-focus lenses and replaced them with manual-focus "prime" lenses.....this photograph was taken with one of them, a Samyang 135mm f2.0 lens. All current Samyang lenses are manual focus and they produce excellent results for a fraction of the price of an equivalent "branded" lens. Camera: Nikon D300s Lens: Samyang 135mm f2.0 Processing: Nikon Capture NX2.
