Went for a little change of the original song line "just drop of the key, lee".. hehe
This was taken with my old Vivitar MF 55mm Macro Prime (M42 fitment) lens, with a Canon EF to M42 adapter.
My girlfriend played the part of the lovely demanding female lol. This shot was quite hard in the respect that the lens is manual focus and its also me holding the keys in front of the macro lens lol. The camera had a flashgun mounted for light (bounced off ceiling) so with the lens it was a bit heavy one handed, especially turned to shoot portrait with flashgun pointing out to the side and rotated to point upwards lol. Lots of adjusting lens focal length and keys moved back and forth several times to get focus right too. Also played about with manual aperture ring on the old macro lens to get a good bokeh but not too much so a female and her outstretched hand could still be made out. I settled on F/8 as I found F/4 and F/2.8 just blurred out my girlfriend too much for the look I wanted with the macro lens.
Anyway, hope viewers like the result :)
Editing:- Cropped a little, adjusted brightness and contrast with levels, denoised with topaz denoise 4, sharpened with topaz sharpen, adjusted levels again to brighten a little more, resized for challenge and added border.
