Clyne Valley With A Yashica 5cm Manual Lens!

So today I went on a group meet. Sadly, I didn’t stay the full length as I was feeling a bit rough after an hour or so, but I managed to get some great images. Clyne Valley, in Black Pill, Swansea, is a track that follows an old rail track, and has some great opportunities along the way to photograph. I can imagine it being beautiful in the autumn when the colours change, and today was really hot and harsh sun, so a challenge for anyone.

All images are taken with the Fujifilm X-T3 and a vintage Yashica 5cm F/2 lens. Most images are shot at F/2. I edited in Darktable, which once again I’ve gone back to using more than other programs. There’s just something about this software that I really enjoy.

Anyway, take a look and hopefully they are something different. Fully manual in everyway possible, and having no auto-focus can certainly be a challenge!

I’m back in hospital for the day tomorrow for treatment, so hopefully they will have some success and I can get back to normality! Whatever, I hope that you liked these, as small a selection as it is!

Until next time, bye!
