Mr. Helios in nature (+visual gallery of 15 photos)

in Photography Lovers3 years ago

In the last post I mentioned that I had several lenses with me and one of them was a Helios 44-2 with an inverted front glass. Today I will pay a little more attention to it than to other options.

The more I shoot them, the more I like him. You can shoot a standard landscape or a close-up with a modern lens. You will get a classic clear picture with good detail. This visual image is unambiguous, the brain has nothing to work on. The only thing that can attract him is unusual colors or shapes.

Another thing is when you see a picture and don't quite understand what is depicted on it. Objects and images are only guessed, there is no strict certainty, but there is room for your imagination. If you take your time and scroll through one photo after another, but look at the image... you may see something unusual.

This version of Helios gives some clarity in the middle of the frame and bizarrely blurs the periphery. Due to this, you can get the effect of a tunnel or portal.

For example, you are in a solid green forest. A normal photo will look like...a little boring, just a lot of greenery. You need to find an additional interesting object. But Helios creates such objects himself ...

In the last two photos, the same place was taken, but with focusing at different distances. As you can see, the result is also different.

If you have a specific object and you want to highlight it, Mr. Helios is also at your service.

This series can be called portals. A portal to the world of water, a portal to the forest, a portal to anywhere...

But it's time to go to the riverbank. Inhale the fragrance of the meadow, hear the buzzing of bees and bumblebees and admire the bends of the river.

This river is beautiful in itself and ordinary shots would also be interesting. But Mr. Helios makes them more mysterious. This is another portal to another reality.

The last two photos were taken with a different lens. This is a homemade lens from a slide projector lens. He has his own characteristics and his own character.

Красавица природа!

А я потеряла свои фото, компьютер сломался.
Поэтому меня так долго небыло :-(

Печально, но ведь не смертельно)
Всё наладится. Кстати, специалисты могут восстановить данные на жёстком диске.

Спасибо за поддержку!
Но, восстановить уже не получится.
Так как мой сын думал что я с планшета все фото переносила на внешний диск, то он всё стёр для того чтобы попробовать его починить :-(
Сама виновата... нельзя же быть такой бесстолковой!

До сих пор в шоке от потери.

Если стёр, но ничего не записал поверх стёртого, то восстановить ещё можно. При стирании удаляются только адреса, сама инфа остаётся и есть проги по восстановлению. Во всяком случае часть восстановить можно...если, конечно, он не переформатировал диск. Тогда да, всё пропало.

мне сказал сын что он всё обнулил чтобы установить Windows,
теперь он тоже переживает что не подумал у меня спросить как я перекачивала
я совсем не понимаю что происходит в этом случае

Значит форматировал диск. Жаль, но может это знак к обновлению :)

Да, вы правы, я сегодня спросила у сына.
Согласна что всё происходит не просто так.
Мне надо включать мозги и перекачивать туда, куда надо.
Сейчас я в раздумье какой комп. лучше. Склоняюсь к настольному.
Хочу определиться в выборе до того, как будет возможность купить, чтобы не терять время :-)

and what exactly is the "phenomenon", let me clarify?

How did you invert the front element? Did it require anything else than a lens opening tool?

You just need to unscrew the pressure ring of the front window. It's usually easy. I did this with a piece of tin cut to the size of the diameter of the glass.

Thanks for the info. I could give it a try. I actually have a lens opening tool, or whatever it’s called. It looks like two tips connected by a metal rod and screws to adjust the spacing between them.?

Yes, it looks like the perfect lens disassembly tool.
I just cut off a piece of tin of the right size, but you have a real tool.
In the Helios lens (however, it is possible in other lenses too, but I do not know the results in the photo), you can flip the rear window. This will add another bubble effect.

Thanks for the tip!

You are welcome 🖐 😊

No my thing these photo's, but I must admit it's something special! Gooed work!

In Russia they say "there is no comrade for taste and color"))
Now I am exploring different lenses and different effects. Of course, each plot should have its own combination.
