July has been too sunny (and hot) to enjoy photographying outdoors so there has been time to fool with found objects at home. There are majiang (mah-jong) tiles, modern Yixing teapot of Ming design, a copy of Shanghai Daily and a tourist map of Olde Peking. Majiang tiles are beautifully made faux antique. They look and feel old but Arabic numbers and Latin letters expose the plot. EP-2 has a half case of Italian leather made by Korean Jnk-handworks on it. For fourthirds users there is a hidden "secret message" in photo;)

Aesthetically speaking this "still life" is probably too crowded but I was just playing.

Almost forgot - it´s a HDR of 5 exposures.

I shooted this one using a legacy lens fitting my E-500, thanks to an adequate screw mount (M42) adapter. This lens is a "MC Macro Revuenon 28 f:2,8 made in West-Germany" probably by Carl Zeiss factory, given its good optical quality. In fact it is a "proxi" not a "macro" one.
