Some more from my test with the 55mm lens at the cemetery. I might be a little absent online for a bit...I got some bad news about my cat and I need some time to process it.

Camera: Pentax 67 SLR with 55mm SMC Pentax lens using Ilford 100 Delta Pro B&W film, developed in Rodinal 1:50

Song of the day: "Changing Colours" by Great Lake Swimmers

Poem of the day:
"ONCE in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.

To and fro they went
Thro’ my garden-bower,
And muttering discontent
Cur’d me and my flower.

Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o’er the wall
Stole the seed by night.

Sow’d it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
“Splendid is the flower.”

Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.

And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed."
- Alfred Tennyson, "The Flower"
