Yesterday I took a few closeups in the garden with my retro-lense-combination (IE Minolta 35-70/4 and a 50mm/2.0 Helios attached in retro position, see it here: Retro-Lense-Combi).
Unfortunately it seems that the aperture blades of the Minolta are oily and sticky, it doesn't close anymore when it is set to a small aperture. It was repaired and cleaned not long ago, but the hot temperature in south france seems to have swapped more oil out of hidden corners :-( So back to the guy who did this in the next days.

Anyway I liked this image and I decided to do some photoshop filter games on it.

How do you like the result?
(See the DIGITAL DARKROOM SECRET for the photo, some EBV here too but no artwork)
