Golden Bear

Sticking with Christmas and Gold today, but not such a shallow focus.
The bear recites 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' when the batteries are good, his head moving while he reads.

I used another old manual lens for this shot. The focus was very hard to get perfect even with a tripod. It is a Formula 5 80-200 Zoom f4.5. The push pull and turn system was fun to use.

The presents are still unopened as we haven't been to visit family in Auckland yet.

Golden Ornament

This is one of three treasures that go on our tree every year.

Taken with a manual Prime 50mm lens and a Macro Ext ring.

I still have three glass ornaments in this shape that came over from England with us in 1966.
