The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: birdbath

A surreal combination of elderly Nikon D40 and Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 Di VC lens. The lens is designed for use on full frame cameras whereas the D40 is a cropped sensor instrument. You'd think that using just the centre of the optics would produce a good result. Yet the processing of this was actually quite dramatic.

Not by a long chalk is this the first time I have photographed my birdbath. But I don't recall shooting it with a Helios-44 58mm f/2 lens before. It's not a result which showcases the unusual and distinctive bokeh of that lens, yet I nevertheless like the way it turned out. I put large stones and pieces of brick in my birdbath chiefly to deter wood pigeons from taking a full bath and generally being disgusting. A side benefit is that it anchors the contraption to the ground more securely. And it provides a subject to point my camera at from time to time.
