Tree Of Life

It all started with an apple, didn't it? :-)

Note: The "glow" in this image is a result of the classic lens,
not a Photoshop action or "art filter." I have nothing against
Photoshop, I use it and love it. But why would I use Photoshop for
"glow" when I have lenses that can do it for me? :)

Ironically, these old lenses usually "glow" because they are not
up to modern standards, or otherwise technically pretty "bad" but they
do produce a "look" that is hard to replicate otherwise.

Olympus E-P1 ,Zuiko Pen F 42mm f/1.2
1/1250s f/1.0 iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
