Tuesday’s weather was wretched, with the only saving grace being that it was just enough above freezing that the blasts of snow throughout the day failed to accumulate to any degree. I put off going out for a photo for as long as I could, but I eventually grabbed a camera and a long lens figuring I would get some shots up and down Thomas Drive. I chimped the camera display on the way back home and the images were less than auspicious. That’s when I got a look at my front lawn.
As I had said previously, the snow was melting as it landed. In my hurry to get a shot from afar, I failed to notice the shot that was right under my nose. Or toes as it were. I slipped back inside and grabbed my SMC PENTAX-A 100mm f/2.8 manual macro lens and snapped it into place on the front of my R5. A moment later, I had a shot for the day. It’s funny how these things work out sometimes.
Today’s kit: A Canon EOS R5 with a SMC PENTAX-A 100mm f/2.8 macro lens mounted using a Fotodiox PK-EF lens adapter. The latter went onto the EF-RF adaptor on the Canon. Can you say jury-rigged? I knew you could.
