“When God Paints”

© 2015 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

My wife and I went up to visit my father-in-law last night, and, on a whim, I threw my vintage SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens on via adapter (see my article on FotodioX Pro adapters here). The Fotodiox Pro adapter allows me to have infinity focus with my SMC Tak without hitting the mirror, which is a definite bonus. As we were driving up to his house, I saw the great cloud striations in the sky and knew that a killer sunset was on the way. I was very glad that I had brought my camera. Sure enough, the colors were soon setting in, and I slipped off to fire off a few frames. Here is one of many fantastic images I got last evening. When God paints, it sure is fantastic!
