Unfocused Autumn (MM353)

When I saw the theme for mono Monday was unfocused,  I thought, sounds like a job for the Helios lens. So I took it for a walk around the village with Gill and our granddaughter Ariadne late this afternoon.  I've settled on this monochrome leaf image, which works much better than I expected in monochrome.  Colour version in the extras, along with one of Ariadne, which shows some of the Helios lens swirly bokeh as well as the consequences of trying to photograph a high speed four year old with a 40 year old lens :-)

Thanks to 60plus for hosting.
