Another shot this afternoon with my Helios 44-2. SOC except I cleaned up some spider webs. Planted 24 hours ago and we now have webs. Can't worry about spiders when you live by the water.

Spiders webs just indicate a sharp shot. Very pretty flower.

"The Helios-44 and Helios-40 are derivatives of the Carl Zeiss Biotar optical formula. As all lenses based on the Biotar formula, the Helios-44 and Helios-40 produce an unusual "swirly" bokeh effect to the out-of-focus background. The bokeh "circles" become more elliptical in shape as you move away from the center of the photo. This optical phenomenon gives images rendered by these vintage lenses a distinct character, which has created a cult following among fine art photographers. "
