Although this is my first post, I have been viewing this website for a few years now. My interest in photography goes back even further.
My dad (God rest his soul,) used FD lenses back in the mid 70\'s when I was a teenager. I inherited his lenses and a couple of Canon A1\'s
I tried to use his lenses with Micro 4/3 (specifically an Olympus OMD EM-5) but found with the crop factor that I didn\'t use them all that often.
I have recently changed to a Sony AR7 and should now be using his old lenses much more frequently.
The photo below, was not taken with one of his old lenses but with the Canon FD 20mm F2.8 that I purchased for the Sony.
It was taken last night, (my first time shooting with this camera and lens) close to my home here in Perth Australia. Although the day started out with a partly cloudy sky, unfortunately by late afternoon the sky was blue. Just before I arrived at my location a small fire had started to the west of me, which gave a little colour to the western sky.
This photo was taken at f22, giving the star effect on the sun.
