    Since I'm new to you guys here I just wanted to say Hi and post some pictures of some of my watches.
    Almost 30years old, from northern Sweden and has a thing for Heuers, especially the 70's Heuers! I've also had a small crush on some Omega's with barell cases but since I have so small arms, the love wasn't sustainable.

    Here's some pictures, do you have something similar to sell me, don't be afraid to contact me :D

    Thx for having me :)

    /Daniel

    Thanks! All of the pictures is taken with my Sony Nex5 in manual mode with a 40-year old manual russian lens. The hardest thing is to come up with ideas for the next photo, not that easy I must say.

    Just get an adapter and start using some old lenses as well :) More fun in manual then in auto, and the manual lenses has so odd and cool bokeh wish isn't possible to achieve with modern lenses. The only thing thats done with the pictures is changing some curves, nothing has been done to the actual blur, bokeh or anything :) I think I paid £17 for the lens ;)

    I always use mine in manual mode, it takes the fun out of having a DSLR.

    £17 for a lens is crazy!

    I'm just a happy amateur who started to photograph less then a year ago :) All pictures above is taken without any flashes so there's nothing fancy behind the photos, guess I've been lucky ;)

    Haha, it could have been, but I really hate the surströmming and the smell make you wanna kill yourself so it's actually a can of corn wish my gf turned into a (candle cup???).

    Thx for the warm welcome!
