I feel week 8 pressure building with day 50/51/53/54/55 and too many lenses to choose from.

We got a real week 50 on Day Prime next week. Too much choice, very stressing. OTOH I read somewhere stress is a choice; now where's that article ...

I'm not into camera butchering (yet??) so my only 45 mm is the famous Rokkor MD 45/2 which I took today on a morning walk to the park nearby.

45-1: Underside of the tinder fungus



45-2: Uprooted



45-3: Root system



45-4: Nothing equals Meyer bubbles, but I like these Minolta bubbles as well



45-5: Weathered wood


All A7 + MD Rokkor 45/2

I went to bird twitching today and found the woodlark, but also snapped with the prime lens of the day few pictures of the environment where this bird was found...

I like the new "week" day prime system

Today we went with some friends to the Ai Wei Wei photo exhibition in the Photography museum in Antwerp.
The amount of pictures and displays were overwhelming but also very interesting. It's always dangerous to take pictures of someone else's art but here's some impressions:

45-6: Wall of snaps and bursts



45-7: Relating to refugees (I think the fire extinguisher sign was not a part, but fitted well)



45-8: The Olympic stadium under construction in Beijing (In China they call it the National stadium)



45-9: Part of the selfie wall



45-10: Kids play corner



On the way down the stairs towards the exit my eye caught this "white hole". Kind of the opposite to a black hole in outer space

45-11: White hole


All A7 + MD Rokkor 45/2 @ 2.8 (except 45-11 @ f5.6)
