A little SNOW in Shoreline

One from my 52 week project. Went out to the driveway to take some macro shots but took the +2 filter off for this one.

Olympus E-500 with Minolta MD 50mm f1.7

A Porsche looks good no matter what it is wearing.

I most certainly agree

Especially nice looking 914! Yours? I like the crisp in-focus line down the hood through the emblem.

What lens? Is that the 50 f/2 by chance?

For many years, I had another one of Porsche's less common models - a '68 912 Targa. I loved it, but it got to be too much to keep it running. So I sold it to a restorer in San Diego. It is now "back home" in Germany. I had a chance to visit it, or rather to visit the couple who now own it, in Dusseldorf a few years back. It looks and runs fantastic now.

WOW! Thats a really cool story! I love the 912 as well (actually any porsche will do ). I'd love to see some pictures if you have them!

The lens is actually a Minolta MD 50mm 1.7(100mm on the E-500). I have it mounted with the Fotodiox MD-4/3 adapter. I love using legacy glass with digital bodies.
