Photographer’s Note
It's been a while since my last post. Not too much free time I am afraid. I am sorry my friends. TE's new (now old) look didn't help much my uploading process since it got slower and, in a sense of quick checking points in photos, not convenient.
Still, it has always been a valuable resource.
Now for the photo.
Taken one summer night when the sea around me was very still. My new toy (because I haven't used it as much as I want) named Tokina works miracles in low light. Still I feel I haven't unlocked it's true potential.
These month I am planning on using some really old, but worthy lens and see how it goes.
These include:
i) Tamron 500mm f8 combined with a Tamron x2 and/or a Vivitar x3 teleconverter with an adaptall to EOS mount.
ii) Makinon 35-105 f3.5 macro (Olympus OM mount)
iii) Makinon 80-200 f3.5 macro (Olympus OM mount)
both with Olympus OM to EOS adapter
iv) Minolta(?) 50mm f1.4
v) Minolta(?) 55mm f2.8
I've heard both good and bad critiques, so I will keep things "secret" until I learn how to use these lens properly. These are very old lens, some 30 years ago since their first use and I am skeptical, but time will tell.
I hope you like this one.

Hello Nick,
Very good POV and light. Tokina 11-16 is very good lens (less faults than Canon 10-22 and Sigma 10-22).
Good luck with those lenses, I'm waiting for the pictures.
Regards
Bartek

Γεια σου Νίκο!
Πολύ όμορφο και γαλήνιο σκηνικό!
Πρέπει κι ο εαυτός σου να είναι συντονισμένος με τέτοια ατμόσφαιρα, τότε όλα είναι 'εν τάξει'.
Δούλεψες άριστα με τα εργαλεία σου τα υλικά κι έτσι εσύ κατ' αρχήν και εμείς στη συνέχεια απολαμβάνουμε το θεσπέσιο αποτέλεσμα.
Μου αρέσει πολύ το καίκι και οπωσδήποτε ο καθρεπτισμός του μαζί με το φεγγάρι στο ήρεμο νερό της θάλασσας. Αντιλαμβάνεται κανείς την απόλυτη ηρεμία των στοιχείων της φύσης από την διάρκεια της λήψης.
Όσον αφορά το φακό, νομίζω ότι η παρούσα φωτογραφία ‘μιλάει’ γι αυτόν με το καλύτερο τρόπο!
Να είσαι καλά!
