Leica M3 Elmar 50 3.5 Bokeh test

During London Marathon 2011, I decided to test out a roll of Ilford HP5 ISO 400 film using my newly acquired Leica M3 with collapsible Elmar 50 3.5 lens. At some point during the event, I decided to lift the camera in the air, set the focus to infinity and shoot away. However, since the focus ring on the Elmar needs to lock into a certain position, I actually managed to misjudge the focus, thus resulting in some fancy out of focus images. All of the images below are out of focus, apart from the first and last.

I wouldn’t recommend trying to figure out what the pictures represent, since the human mind has a way of messing around with perception. If I had my own dark room, I’m pretty sure that I could achieve the same results, although it wouldn’t necessary be possible to get a sharp image from an out of focus image.

Tower Green: Tower of London

When a friend from Germany visited me last year, it was the first time that I visited the Tower of London. Having lived in the UK for 7+ years, it never occurred to me to visit the Tower, nor places like Madame Tussauds in Baker Street. Instead of getting a single ticket, I opted for a yearly pass which entitles the member entrance to five historic royal palaces, including Hampton Court and Kensington Palace. Conveniently, the Tower is located just a ten minute walk away from my office, meaning that when the weather is good, I can spend some time relaxing in Tower Green.
