Thank you very much. This is my own preset, but it changes so much from picture to picture that I think it more as a draft them anything else. I belive that most of the image is made in location. I pay attention a lot on light. Light direction, light intensity, light nature. And how forground and background comunicates.

Love Alpenglow! Was this a vacation spot for you, or were you lucky enough to have this place as a 'backyard?' Just curious, did you experiment with tighter crops on the right side?

Lol. This is kind of the back yard in WA state. This up in Snow Lake just before the Enchantments. Camped there the night before heading up. Look up the Enchantments on Google when you get a chance.

BTW, I was air lifted from up there after breaking my foot.

Embedded Photo

This was a pano. I should try some cropping.

Thanks for the feedback.

What did you do on the processing? It looks intense. I like it.

I don't like Lightroom so I use Photoshop. Personal preference. I also only adjust 1 or 2 images from a shoot. I don't batch anything. For each color channel: R, G, B, C, M, Y, and each luminosity channel: Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, I adjusted contrast, saturation, brightness.

Normally I lower saturation and raise contrast and brightness, but it's individually done for each channel as necessary. I find I use very little sharpening when adjusting contrast. The last thing is to disable visibility of the Background layer, merge all other layers that are visible, and then turn background layer back on. Stare and compare between background and top layer and adjust opacity of top layer accordingly. Usually down to about 66%. This process seems to add to the already 3D look from Zeiss lenses. But then... I'm annal about stuff like this! B=)

Thank you, Terence!
Its a beast of a lens, sharp like non other I have tried, but heavy and cumbersome, as the small aperture-ring is right by the mount, and with thick fingers, a bit too close to the camera for my taste. It takes time to use this lens, as the manual focus is something I almost have forgotten about in the last 10 years of only AF-lenses. In the old days (when I started out in photography) all lenses were manual focus and one did not think about it so much, but most lenses had f/3.5 to start with, and we all closed down a few notches anyway. But this lens has a small DOF and perfect focus is crucial!
B.T.W.: It is also an expensive pice of glass, and I use it only occasional (when I'm in a special mood!).I have had it for 3 years and I will pass it on to sombody new in the future, because I cannot afford to have it staying in the cupboard all the time :o)

Hi Rene,
the exposure time is 30 s at f/2.8, ISO1600. This is a composite using StarStaX, about 150 exposures.
Sorry for the dashed trails. This is because I cannot switch off the noise reduction for exposures over 1 s on the Leica SL. I think pretty much any other camera allows users to switch off noise reduction, the Leica SL does not. In other words, as much as I love the Leica SL, for long-time exposures of star trail the camera is essentially useless.

I have some images from Shi Shi., but it's too late to have it posted. You can never predict weather on the coast. It's finicky. I suggest rubber boots for the stretch of the trail between Makah Reservation and Shi Shi. It's 5 miles of mud even in the summer.

Nice landscape by the sea with smooth waters. I think I would crop about halve of the sky (as there is nothing spectacular there), to avoid the horizon being so close to the middle of the hight, Think more in lines of the "rule of thirds"...

I did a quick overview on the lens on Wikipedia. Then I went to B&H to see if it is available and read the reviews. It appears that the Takumar design has been discontinued but they are still available on ebay (and reasonable priced at that) . But I need to read up more on this before I can make any kind of decision. On B&H the few reviews that I read on the Pentax are saying that the 100mm struggles with CA, which was my struggles with this photo. I did find some Groups on Flickr that feature Takumar and will peruse it some later this evening.

Sell me on it. Why Pentax SMC Takumar?

Wow !! A COMMENT at last !! I never get any 'comments' on this site -- I was thinking it was a waste of time posting ! In reply : the LENS used is WRONG somehow in the details -- it was my 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar T* NOT the 80mm so I was further away than 3 meters.
Regarding COLOUR -- it was on E6 transparency film which I do NOT process myself so take it to a lab. I DO process a lot of my C41 to 'Exhibition Size' 16x12 inches but for small 6x4" I take films to a lab on our town main street where they do an excellent job with colour balance and C41 negative quality. In Philippines, Cebu Images Camera Club friends use labs in Cebu City -- I had some E6 done once many years ago but their C41 quality is not so good !

Nice candid (nice colors as well- its subtlety dark). For me, I am starting to think that street photography could be more natural with a longer lens. Everyone says 35mm or 50mm. I only own two lenses and once you compute the crop factor I basically am shooting with a 50mm and a 135mm (the lenses are a 35mm and a 100mm on a 1.6x sensor). I keep wondering what it would be like shooting the streets with something between 70-90mm. You were standing - I’m guessing - about three meters from the subjects in this shot?

I do have a second question for you here, Pete. You shot color film, do you process your own film? Or do you send out? I’m actually thinking of buying a film camera (M7) and I see a lot of write ups on processing B&W but nothing on color. I am fine if it were just B&W but if I ever picked up a roll of Color I worry I would not be able to process it here in the Philippines (especially in the remote part where I live).

I really like the composition and balance in this photo. The grouping of the people is just right as all faces are visible showing the fruits of their labor. However, This is not criticism of an excellent photo. But, I find the processing is lacking in some contrast or whites thus creating a dullish look. Was it the actual lighting condition that give this look or is there room to work with the whites and black in order to give it some more pop? None the less, its a great shot.

Johnlarson - Thank you for taking a look and commenting. It was 10 days of trekking to get up to the Annapurna Base Camp. Most of the trek is through beautiful tropical and sub-tropical forest until you reach 2500 meters then it turns into Alpine terrain without trees. This small village with its tea houses is typical along this route.

Walter, the D5 is big and heavy. I still can't decide if its for me or not. The Zeiss glass is about as heavy as the camera :) Today I purchased an inexpensive 50mm 1.8 that weighs as much as a bottle cap and I am very impressed.

Jorge. I still own two Canon EOS 5D Mark 1's, With the exception of the Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2,8, all of the other lenses have a ZE Mount and fit straight on the 5D. The 5D's are worth nothing these days so I am keeping both of them. If necessary, one can be cannabilised for spare parts later on. They sill are capable of taking excellent images. I thought of trading in my Sony Alpha 7R Mark 1 but the secondhand value is so poor that I have not bothered. The Sony Alpha 7R Mark II has 5 Axis Image Stabilisation and a lower vibration Shutter, but most of my images are shot from a tripod so that IS would not be enough on its own for me to take that large a financial hit. My gut feeling is that Sony cameras will be like Japanse Hi-Fi, worth next to nothing after 12 months. Resale value is so poor. Steve

We don't compress or magnify the images you upload here. However, I do see what you are referring to. I am guessing it is a window or door screen of some sort in the background.

Good catch.

The camera was found on the floor of a photography store. Managed to bargain them to $15. An adapter cost an additional $49 to use the lens on my Sony A6000. Unfortunately the timer on the camera is kuput so I have not shot any film. If it worked I would though. John

The reason for the defects you`re pointing out, could probably be found in the processing . This picture is processed on a non- calibrated laptop in Nik HDR-EFEX 2 software, and my first (and so far) only serious attempt to process in a NIK-software.

Anyway, Thanx for stoppning by and share your reflections with me (and other wiewers in the futute).

Jorge,

I'm currently shooting the D810. Thanks for sharing that link: nice writeup and wonderful images. The bokeh from the 85 is just beautiful! The 85 is surely a big, heavy piece of glass, but getting the very best images one can make is, IMO, more important than weight considerations. I'll bet that you'll love the 50/1.4...fantastic lens!

I'm still waiting. I can't believe you got your Nikon mount version so soon. I'm jealous.

“I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came." -John F. Kennedy

Thanks, Hawkowl. There's no way I'd do that hike with a 4x5...uggh. I was certainly dead by the end of the day carrying a backpack with my DSLR and several lenses. Although, for all I know, the weight was the same. Anyways, thanks for the comment.

Congratulations David! Great shot. I've hiked in there with 4x5 equipment and it about busted my tail!! I shot too long in the Subway and had to hike out in the dark, got temporarily disoriented (lost), but finally made it out. Was so tired & hungry, drove straight to a Mexican restaurant in Springdale and stuffed myself with food & beer. Hope you rewarded yourself with something similar! Cheers!

Jorge,

I'm currently shooting the D810. Thanks for sharing that link: nice writeup and wonderful images. The bokeh from the 85 is just beautiful! The 85 is surely a big, heavy piece of glass, but getting the very best images one can make is, IMO, more important than weight considerations. I'll bet that you'll love the 50/1.4...fantastic lens!

Doug,

What camera did you shoot this with? I have been shooting the 85 with the A7RII and it's a monster. Yea. I'm getting the 50 next. Looks amazing !

Thanks torralba. The Milvus 50/1.4 is an outstanding optic. I recently picked up the 35 too. I'm still getting used to the rubber focus ring on these lenses and they're a bit stiffer than my 'classic' Distagon 21/2.8 but all in all, the Milvus lenses are great. The 85 is on my wish list.

Thanks Philippe and Piotr. Without your support over the years I would probably have stopped posting images to this Website. Thanks for viewing my image and commenting. No Phillipe, this is not my daughter but a model. My local independent camera shop, Clifton Cameras at Dursley, Gloucestershire had an open day with Elinchrom lighting and a model. I was invited along. I have never shot this type of image before. I actually really enjoyed it. The lighting was expensive but affordable and I enjoyed the day. The problem is where do you get people to photograph? Best regards Steve

Camjones - the D800e platform has large megapixel sensor and when coupled with Zeiss glass it can deliver images that approach larger medium format equipment such as Hasselblad - I have found that the dynamic range of the camera is as or perhaps more important that absolute sensor megapixel size. The D800e has superb dynamic range that allows for incredible flexibility in high contrast settings like high key mountains and dark shadows in the forests. Thanks for taking a look at my work!

This images demonstrates the ability of the 135mm APO to exceed the Nikon D800e sensor resolution even with marine haze. Perhaps at some point camera sensor technology will catch-up with the optical capacity of this lens. Zoom in to see how this lens resolves fine detail beyond what the sensor can deliver.

My favorite scenics have a "stepping stone" in the foreground for the eye to light upon and then the viewer is drawn into the composition, experiences it by being transported by leading lines and comes out again. A circular route, as in this case, has a calming effect. Well done, Akul!
Photo ID 544791

Appreciate the comment but pulling the fence would not leave enough space at the bottom. To me the subject hillside trees need to be higher. Also, the fence is part of a leading lines system - from lower left to middle right joining the bottom edge of the [subject tree line that points to upper left. From there up everything becomes this "woosh" upward as clouds meet sky.

Hope I explained that properly. It's not your typical leading line.

Thanks for your like and comment.

My wife and son and I were making a travel film "Norwegian Summer" in 1976. It was a beautiful day, the gulls were flying alongside the ferry, the sky was deep blue and the Seven Sisters were cascading long tresses of crystalline glacier melt into the fjord. Everyone was in great spirits that day. SAS and Videroe Airlines loved the film and so did our audiences. This lovely scene evokes fond memories and that's what a well-planned, perfectly executed picture is supposed to do. Tak, J-B!

I believe that it's better to focus at edges. When edge is sharp, centre is less blurred, in comparison to measure of blurriness in edges, when sharpness is focused in centre. With my Distagon 2.8/15mm ZE and my A7, I use the same strategy. I believe it best advice with super-wide-angle lenses and thick sensor filter.

Jorge - I went back and studied the DNG files and I think this "safety" shot addresses your earlier observations. I am now a bit curious about the image degradation when the lens is stopped down. So much for the old masters who would shoot at f64 or even f128 !! I think the consensus with today's shooters is that medium f stops are optimal - I will play around with this a bit more and also on my way to Pro Photo to get a set of ND filters for the M mount lenses so I don't have to stop down so much to blur the water - thanks for your comments earlier!

Jorge - Here is a second version of the earlier horizontal shot. Both were shot at f22 with a hyperlocal setting however the horizontal was skewed towards the foreground. Thanks for your observations and comments they are very helpful and constructive - I think I will play around with various hyperfocal settings. As I understand the theory everything within the hyperfocal range should be in focus.

This was a single exposure. I over exposed by one stop on the A7r, as I find every Sony camera I have ever had underexposes by .75-1 stop. Then I really pushed the shadows in LR and got the image to my liking. Then I dumped it into Color Efex pro 4 and used Tonal Contrast to finish the image out. I only applied Tonal Contrast from about the horizon down. I find Color Efex can cause some serious banding and posterization in blue skies if your not carful. If you inspect the image at 100% you'll find some noise in my wife's dress because of the aggressive shadow pushing, but it looks fine on screen and prints good to 17x22, but I wouldn't print it any bigger than that.

It was shot with the 35/2.0. This is what I posted with it. If Exif data says otherwise it is wrong, I sometimes forget to change the number of lens (this is a F lens, not F.2) on the camera and end up with wrong Exif data. I had 3 lenses with me, 21, 35 and 100, and this ought to be 35. You are right :-)

Aquilan - This was shot at f8, 25 seconds, ISO 100. I used a Metabones adaptor to fit the M mount to Sony A7r E mount. There are no mods to the A7r body. The lens is actually a Zeiss Biogon 2.8/21mm (not sure if they also make it with a Contax brand name) Generally I am happy with the Zeiss M mount lenses except for the inability to link them to modern digital bodies (like Leica M240 or the A7r) which causes the purple fringing discussed earlier here. Thanks for the nice comment!

Wow Philippe, you have the ZM 1.4. I am jealous! I hear nothing but great things about that lens. I have the FE 35mm 1.4 which as you already know is a beast. I have been thinking of the ZM but the comments about vignetting have put me off a little especially since I would only use it on the A7 bodies. Do you have any thoughts on the matter? If you had a choice between the FE and ZM 1.4 which one would it be?

Steve, for me the superiority of the A7R over my previous Canon 5D II and III is in the lighter weight and smaller form factor. Thanks to which I take my bag with me everywhere every time, including to professional meetings, with no-one the wiser, and it has given me countless keeper shots which I wouldn't have today because I would have left my Canon at home. Superior DR and higher resolution from the A7R are just welcome bonuses. That said, I agree with everything you've written.

I would agree shapencolour. There is far too much importance placed on Megapixels. In reality, even the DxO Ratings are now suspect to me, Too many people just follw these ramblings. Yes, a Such and Such lens or Sensor measures better, but does it really make any difference to the average photographer/ I am sceptical simply becuse in my own personal experience, it really is a small part of ACTUALLY producing a quality image.

One last thing Jorge, I have changed the Focusing Screen. When I bought the Camera Body I ordered the Canon Ee-S Focusing Screen to replace the Jack of All Trades one supplied. It is optimised to aid manually focusing lenses with aperatures > f/2.8. A worthwhile upgrade for those without Live View or Focus Peaking IMHO.

To be honest I have come to the conclusion that I can produce just as good images with the Canon EOS 5D Mark I. Pixel Peeping in PP software at 100% does show a bit more detail, but at the end of the day, this is not nearly as important unlees you make very large prints. Most people shown a 329 mm X 483 mm print shot with the two cameras will probably notice very little difference. Cameras and Lenses are a "Man Thing" i.e. having the newest and latest. If you can afford it then indulge yourself, but you can rest assured that if you have not mastered your current Camera System, then just upgrading will be unlikely to lead you to better images. Spend the money on good quality lenses and software. Camera Bodies come and go, lenses can be forever. The soon to be launched 50 Megapixel Canon cameras will be very difficult for Joe Public to use. The more Megapixels, the better your camera technique needs to be. With 50 Megapixels you are essentially buying the equivalent of a Medium Format Camera. These produce superb studio images but were never designed IMHO to be used as Point and Shoot, A tripod would be a minimum requirement. The Canon EOS 5D Mark I is a Classic Camera. If it had a large rear LCD, Live View and Focus Peaking, it would be perfect for me. In the mean time I am more than happy to use it and it is so, so inexpensive to purchase second hand. For Nikon users you can pick up the Nikon D700 at give away prices. The Canon Service Centre in the UK offers an excellent service and will repair pretty much any piece of Canon equipment if there is a fault. I have no experience of Nikon, but I would be surprised if their service was not equally as good.

Are you noticing any purple fringing with the Zeiss 21 on the M 240? I would be interested in your experience with this combination. I have experienced some fringing using the Zeiss 21 and M 240 - but interestingly the fringing seems to occur only when there is non-complex, somewhat neutral grey subject matter. Nice image BTW!

Thanks Jorge and Aquilan, I knew there would be the technical expertise here. It all makes sense to me now. I will work some more with both the Leica and Sony bodies with the wider Zeiss lenses (both 28 and 21) It may be I either have to go back to film or step up to Leica 6 bit linked glass - there goes the summer travel budget! Thank you again!!!

There is something, which is called sensor stack issue. Sony uses quite thick layers over sensor, much thicker than Leica in their M240 model. When ray of light hits sensor outer layers with different angle than 90 deg, the ray is being shifted. Different wave lengths are being shifted differently. It results with purple fringing on sensor via sensor stack. Despite correction with Leica software, Leica has used one of most thinner sensor stack. It helps to pull purple fingering down.

There is a company called Kolari Vision, which is specialized in IR-conversion of camera sensors. Aside their main activity, they prepared special procedure to replace sensor stack for A7 (mk1), A7R and A7S owners. This reduces the thickness of sensor stack and improves corner performance with film-optimized lenses. The results aren't highly spectacular but I still believe it is worth it to convert own camera, aside You loose only Sony warranty. I am going to send my A7 to KolariVision within next two months. I may provide some photos after conversion but You may Google some images provided with other customers of KolariVision.

I am very grateful to Hiepphotog (ZeissImages Friend), who shared with me the information about KolariVision and their special service to A7/A7R/A7S users.

This is a known issue. I can't give you the exact scientific details. But for the most part, any wide M lens on a Sony will yield this fringing and vignetting issue. It has to do with the sensor and traditional M mount lenses not designed for a perfectly flat sensor. The way Leica gets around this with their lenses is that they include the 6 bit coding on the lens mount. The digital M camera which ever it may be, identifies the lens based on the code and applies the necessary correction to address this. I know its not what you wanted to hear but it is well documented. I ended up with A7 series camera and native lenses and am anxiously awaiting the Batis 25mm f2 due next month.

I posted this image in hopes someone can help me diagnose the purple/magenta fringing that with my Zeiss G Biogon 21mm f2.8. It occurs with both a Leica M (type 240) and on my Sony A74 using a Metabones adaptor. I contacted Metabones at first because I first noticed the fringing after using the M mount on the Sony. Metabones said the problem was due to the short focal length and the Sony not being able to identify the type of lens because the adaptor did not allow for "communication" between lens and body. I noticed the problem was also evident using the Leica M 240 -anyone here have similar experience and/or been able to fix the issue? I love the 21mm but with this issue my choice is to either crop around the fringing or post process as B&W --- Help!!

Donat, it is not perfect. It vignettes quite a bit wide open, it has some CA wide open, and, on the A7R, corners are not perfect wide open. But it has such qualities that Lloyd Chambers calls it the best lens ever for Leica M. Even compared to my new Otus 55, its art of colouring is peerless. I call my Otus Bertha, after Big Bertha, the greatest cannon that ever was, because that is how it feels, the biggest and baddest. And I call my ZM Audrey, for Audrey Hepburn: wonderful grace and elegance.So good to have both...

With the right lenses(Zeiss) you can produce world class images. I'm sure the day will come when I jump full boar into the small mirrorless world but for now I'll keep the A99 awhile longer.

Dalth500, yes, I do live in Oregon. I live in eastern Oregon and was on a photo weekend with a group from Oregon City. We found our way into Wasco along some of the backroads. This was shot in the afternoon and was in the shade, exactly as you described. In the unprocessed image, the colors are quite subtle. I put it through a single image HDR processing (not too heavy handed) and then worked on individual colors to bring them out. Thanks for your compliments on this shot - I really appreciate it, especially from someone who is familiar with the exact location! You must know a lot of great places to shoot around the area. There are some really cool old buildings for sure.

With any gear there are always trade offer and I have to agree with the you on the Leica sensor - it is unusually noisy in low light situations that call for long exposures. Frankly I am disappointed with this limitation along with the inability of the M to accommodate exposures longer than 30seconds - perhaps the Leica designers realized the sensor's limitation set the firmware to limit time exposures. Thank you for the comments regarding the noise levels in low-light exposures.

Larch Mountain viewpoint - take the road off the Old Columbia River Hwy just past the Woman's park viewpoint but before Crown Point - its about 15 miles up to the parking lot and then another 10-15 hike up to the viewing area. They usually close the road after the first snow so the gate may still be locked (but with the almost non-existant snowfall this year I can't imagine why) - Good luck and don't forget to bring the $5.00 for the Forest Service parking/use fee unless you have annual Forest pass.

thanks very much, Jorge!

Leica is a long story. I got my first Leica, the M9 in 2009 with a defect sensor, got another sensor change last year and will sell it soon.
I love the M Monochrom, it simply is a beauty! The puristic design of the camera is the best I know, the files are great to work with.
And I like the Leica lenses.

but I use the Sony A7R almost 100% since I got it. This is a universal camera for my needs and wishes. I use any lens on it like Nikon, Canon, Leica M, Leica R and enlarging lenses.
Focus for the OTUS or the Zeiss 100/2 for example is easy and perfect.

Let's see, what we will get soon this year :-)

more than 400 portraits are in my flickr album:

Kitty in the concrete jungle. He looks so alone, but dignified at the same time, through all that scruff. He's a survivor. I like that this image tells me all of that. It has a story that the author is enhancing with depth of field, light, composition. Very nicely done.

I really like the Loxia 50mm f:2.0 very much indeed. It suits my A7R to a T. Construction quality is excellent, haptics are great, with the auto-magnification feature when you focus. IQ is very good indeed. Colours and contrast are world-class. Lots of detail. Some loss of sharpness wide open, as in all lenses. I wish it were a tad more flare-resistant, and bokeh can be busy if you have light-sources in the frame. So it is not an Otus-killer, but then, for the money, what is? I was quite happy to sell my FE 55 and keep the Loxia.

Rabyà, Karakul, Tajikistan, August 2014.
This 5 yrs old girl travelled with us from Murghab to Karakul ( abt 100 miles ) to go back home in a very remote area of eastern Tajikistan. Despite her young age, she needed a dentist, not available in her home village, so someone first escorted her to Murghab at her uncle, yet someone had to escort back home in an area where cars and vehicles of any kind are very rare. The hotel receptionist where we stayed in Murghab thankfully knew our driver and subsequently decided to ask him a favour. By chance, Rabya's mother was our next guest house owner in Karakul, one of the very most ghost towns i have ever seen.

I believe that Planar 2/45's performance is very close to performance of Loxia 2/50mm, even if it isn't optimized to digital sensor with thick filter glass. Nice details :)

The composition here is wonderful. Dolmens are not particularly easy to get good shots of, and you did a really nice job. There seems to be a perfect balance of the heavy groundedness of the vertical stones, with a light, floating feeling from the suspended stone. Trees in the background frame the dolmen perfectly. Great job!

That is why you can not say that otus are better lenses than those non apo.. it is a different class with different character (apple and oranges). Zeiss say they didnt put cost limit on otus line, but in reality they are just made for 36mp sensors like (D800), they have high resolving power and better correction. It has different oof disc with halo, apo elements show signature in oof area - circular polishing, different blur transition... There is no perfect lens, just some attributes are better in one than in other.

IMHO Planar is Stellar performer, maybe sharpness is inferior but its bokeh is more pleasant for me than bokeh of Apo-Lenses. Zeiss Otorum Bokeh remind me effect of adapting apodization filter. It has been provided by Fuji in their new version of Fujinon 56mm and it's a little psychological effect, when You blur the background more the first plane is judged to be more sharp in opposite.
Bokeh of (no-Apo) Planar is most favorite for me :)

Hi JJ - thanks :) Lighting was indeed a beauty dish. A small (18") white Elinchrom dish only just out of shot above her and a lastolite Triflector in front to throw some light back in to her chin and around her face. No backlight - just a simple radial gradient in Lightroom. There's a little more post/re-touching on this shot than I'd normally do - that was the kind of look we were after :) Cheers, Nick.

Thank you :) The 135 is by far my favourite portrait lens. I only wish I had a room long enough to use it for 3/4 & full length shots! But for headshots - it's ideal. Has that Zeiss magic for colour & skin tone.

Thanks for the comments. I had set-up my camera and tripod to photograph the flower when the Bee and the Hummingbird arrived. Sometimes, things simply fall into place and I was quite happy.

Flowers are pleasing to photograph, and wild Foxglove is not exception but the purpose of posting this image was to demonstrate the superb fine detail and resolution of the Zeiss Sonar fitted to the RX1 - note the fin cilia on the center flower and the near lack of chromatic aberration or fringing on the edges - amazing visual tool even when hand held -

I am happy that You like it. I am shooting with Tele-Tessar 4/350mm FE with permanently mounted Leica Griffschale (for R-lenses). It is very comfortable to use then, but I lacked a grip. If shooting vertically (especially with such large lens) it have to be very useful, as You refereed to me.

This girl gets her initial weapons training at shooting range near Kyiv. She accompanied one of the recruits to Ukrainian antiterroristic military forces.

4 months ago Ukrainian president was occused in total corruption and ran to Russia.\n\n\n

Let's not get into this political nonsense. I just asked about the girl.

Is this supposed to represent a Zeiss photograph? or a political statement?
If political statements are allowed here can I include some anti-EU stuff please?

Thank you my friends. The G2 and 45mm Planar combo is so versatile and brilliant for portraits especially travel ones. It focusses close so negates the need for a portrait lens at times. And Mr Sharif was my mother's childhood friend.

This girl gets her initial weapons training at shooting range near Kyiv. She accompanied one of the recruits to Ukrainian antiterroristic military forces.

4 months ago Ukrainian president was occused in total corruption and ran to Russia.\n\n\n

Let's not get into this political nonsense. I just asked about the girl.

Is this supposed to represent a Zeiss photograph? or a political statement?
If political statements are allowed here can I include some anti-EU stuff please?
or can I post some Pro-Russian photographs?

Yes, I like Sony lens caps much. I made some stock of ALC-F62Z, ALC-F72Z and ALC-F77Z. With other diameters I prefer ALC with A ending (like ALC-F49A, ALC-F55A and ALC-F67A) over other lens cap brands. With diameter of 58mm I have no other option than to use Zeiss 1416-136 :) The same with 46mm and 82mm. With 95mm I chose Hasselblad front lens cap 95mm. I am currious about touit 67mm and 52mm lens caps...i tried already to ordered them :) Thanks for Your comment JT.

@aquilan:
He is one of a very few live soldiers of World War II. In our country people like he are Heroes. It is a miracle that there are live eyewitnesses who could tell a truth about real war and he is one of them.
He is probably about 90 years and it was very pleasant to see he is dancing with young woman during celebration of Victory Day.

The scale of this place is difficult to grasp... this photo was taken while standing at 15,000 feet with all of the peaks well over 20,000 feet or more than twice as tall as Oregon's Mt. Hood. Some of these peaks are virtually unclimbable because of the degree of technical climbing and the high altitude makes physical effort very difficult

It was taken at about 4,500 meters/15,000 ft elevation in Nepal after the moon had set and 2 hours before sunrise - very clear viewing conditions with minimal pollution and haze - it would be a good place to site and observatory if there was a road to get there!

Yes, indeed but it is property of largest Polish state-controlled company, which deals with the exploration and production of natural gas and crude oil, natural gas import, storage and distribution and sales of natural gas and crude oils. Due to strategic meaning of operational process of this company, it is forbidden to take photos outside museum area. During taking this photo, I was interrupted by security agent and I was asked to leave immediately the visitor's area.

The protest was conducted in two languages I don't speak: Thai and Nederlands. However, I had the impression they were complaining about a prome minister who had embezzled funds from the government or who had been falsely accused of doing the same. They either wanted to punish or exonerate him, not sure which.

I have revisited the A99 and am glad to say I have converted 100% from Nikon and manual focus Zeiss to the A99 with the full range of auto focus Zeiss glass :) Never been happier :)

Taken at a feeding program for under nourished children living in a squatter community. The two guys are volunteers from the community and as it is a program sponsored by a church the guy in red must have felt compelled to wear a religious shirt. It is not uncommon to see guys wearing lipstick but it is uncommon to see it in a religious setting, thus the picture (and now you know).

Thanks for your kind comments. It's taken in Reine (Lofoten), Norway. Saw a weak northern light from the room where I was staying and decided to go outside. It then intensified quite a bit.
Picture is one exposure, tripod, 30s, f2.8. I think longer exposure would have ruined the nice patterns.
This is suppose to be a fairly common sight in northern Norway/Sweden during winter. Go there!

Thanks Steve, think my monitor is ok its a Dell 27" ultra which is calibrated for RBG by Dell unlike some. I use IE as my browser and when viewing in LR it does show a little more detail in the shadows - I did boot the shadow area more but didn't like the look as much.
Photo ID 536300

"Also guys it looks a little darker than it actually is on the ZeissImages site."

Two possible reasons:
(1) Incorrect calibration on the Monitor (uncalibrated Monitors are nearly always set too bright and too saturated)
(2) The Browser that you are using to view the image (Firefox and Safari give the best rendition of an image and are Colour Space Aware)

Nice B&W Paul. Displaying my ignorance, what are the advantages of the M MONOCHROM VS the conversion of a Colour File to B&W? Steve\n\n\n Hi Bajanexile, the advantages of the Monochrom are much more detail to the files and also the files are much more pliable in lightroom except for the hi lights if the hi light is blown its not recoverable unlike a colour converted file where you can usually recover one of the red green or blue channels as usually not all of those channels will be blown. Hope this helps.

Hi Paul, what's it like focusing a wide angle lens on a rangefinder? Do you have to use an external VF?\n\n\n Hi Vaperture, the Zeiss Distagon 15mm is not rangefinder coupled for focus so you just have to guess but with such a wide angle its not really necessary only on subjects less than 7ft and then only if you're shooting wide open at f2.8 as everything will be in focus from 1ft to infinity if you set the lens to say f8. All of the photo's in my profile shot with this lens have been taken without a tripod and without the 15mm finder I only use the finder for people shots. Hope this helps, by the way I love this lens and could shoot all day and every day with it its such a first class and interesting lens to work with. ;-)

I hope You would upload Apo-Summicron 90mm to compare it too :) This lens (Sonnar) has outstanding sharpness but I don't feel I've fallen for this bokeh. I wish to take shot with this scene and Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar 1.8/80mm. I believe I am familiar with double gauss' bokeh more than with sonnar type, especially with this short telephoto focal length. But I am very currious about reasults of Apo-Summicron. I bet that bokeh and overall would be better with Carl Zeiss Sonnar G-mount :)

Cyra, thanks for the like.
The place is Lemo, Sulawesi, Indonesia.
At Lemo, cliffs rise precipitously from the rice fields like stonework condominiums. Crypts, carved with prodigious manual labour, high into the solid rock, house the mortal remains of Toraja nobility. Set among the crypts, the striking tau tau, life-size wooden effigies representing the deceased, look impassively on the world below.

It was actually a panoramic with several shots from the 21mm stitched together giving it that look. I did lens correction inside ACR before doing the pano stitch in Photoshop but nothing other than that. I don't usually shoot stitched shots with the 21mm but I may do more of it in the future. It turned out ok I think. Glad you like it aquilan!

Aquilan,

He's a mime, and a very good one, in my hometown in Tennessee. I have put him to the ultimate test, taking a sequence of shots from the same position, with very defined vertical and horizontal reference points behind him, while he's holding a particular pose/position/expression. So if he moves, it's going to show relative to those points in a succession of images a second or two apart. He does NOT move, anywhere on his body. He's not that young, either. And notice what he's standing on.

I'm very happy to have received this award! A Big thanks to zeissimages.com and Zeiss for the opportunity and Torralba and Seal for selecting my photo.

The story behind the photo: Benguela is a city in Angola to where, me and my wife, moved 4 years ago. I took a job in a construction company managing a building site. My wife found a job a bit after moving in but the company didn't afford to pay her for very long. She couldn't find a job after that, too overqualified, so the afternoons on the couch became her blues. So also a very big thanks to her for being there and enduring it for me!

Thanks you all for your compliments!

Yes, I know that most Ukrainians are frustrated with the Government's treat to opposite voice of many Ukrainian People. But I hope that You would find Your way to European Union too. It should bring more flowering in the future but there is also a possibility that European Union became obsolete association in farther future, especially without reforms. Future will show the results to all of us. I wish best for All of You.

Hi Torralba, Yes had to sell everything to get the Leica Monochrom and wait 7 months for it but will never go back to colour now as just love black and white with this camera . I came into a small amount of money just enough to get the Carl Zeiss Distagon 15 mm f 2.8 but never had enough money to get the finder that goes with it so all those nightime shots are taken blind its also not rangefinder coupled for foucus so you have to guess distance but that only matters when shooting wide open and at close distance. Many people find it difficult to use such wide lenses but I have used it on a few different subjects and it's becoming one of my favourite lenses.

This set is very impressive. I was just ranting on the over priced Leica's. But the M Monochrome is worth it. Not to mention the 15 Distagon is king!

Greetings,
Sadly it is normal behaviour of makro-planar 2/50 Zx. It may be controversial aspect about the range of this chromatic aberrations. Looks here: http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/535-zeiss50f2eosff?start=1 (last photo and description at 'Bokeh Fringing / Longitudinal Chromatic Aberrations (LoCA)' paragraph). It is described as not much disturbing. Makro-Planar 2/50 is great double Gauss lens with outstanding close range correction of spherical abberation but it is not apochromatic lens in term of Zeiss's apo-chromatic definition. It has also wide difference between MTF performance at center and corner of image plane with wide-open aperture. Best regards, WZ.

This seems normal and actually better than most non corrected lenses. Chance are you won't be photographing rulers on a regular basis :) As far as Zeiss addressing this, they can't. It's just the characteristics of such a lens design. 9999999.999% of the time you wont even notice it on a regular photograph. There is always the Otus which takes care of CA but at a price.

Have a look at these. It will make you feel better :)

You will love it! I had one years ago and I regret selling it. I bought it as a kit with viewfinder and anti vignetting filter. I gotta tell you it rocked! Enjoy and post some more shots.

Hehe no. Just a very nice gentleman dressed in period attire for Territory Days in Old Colorado City, CO. I thought he had the best look of all who participated and I asked if he wouldn't mind me taking his picture. He was more than happy to let me do so. If I were casting a western he would be on my short list of extras.

Thanks for LIKE, Charles.
This is a experiment with the "new" RhinoCam-Adapter and the Distagon 60mm. I am missing for this images the Zeiss Distagon FLE 40mm to make mega-pixel photographs. The better and easier manner is the Canon 5D with Canon lens TS-E 24mm or 17mm.

I like idea of medium format photo with medium format lens and hardware-assisted moving aps-c sensor. The most interesting is render-performance at lens edges and circle of confusion within :)
I tried multi-exposure images, which image circle of lens was perfectly aligned to image plane of sensor, and then composed into one image composed with multiple of individual photos but this one concept is more pleasing :)

I just asked this on an other picture, here is the answer.

I used Cornerfix with the CV12mm on the M9. I used a milky plastic and held it directly in front of the lens under an all gray sky and it worked great! Making a profile shot from a gray surface/wall with these super wides is not easy, as you always get a shadow into the picture:-)

I did not try my M-Hologon on the NEX6 or 7 as I had the impression, that the lens was touching the body somehow?
dierk

is the color shift from the lens or from any colored light?
do you have a Cornerfix profile, that you use?

Thanks ! . I normally just use natural lighting , a reflector perhaps for filling . Then I use aperture and silver fx from nick software .

Thanks so much for your comment Zeissy! This photo turned out more interesting than I thought it would. This is a semi-famous long abandoned mental hospital in New York. It's a very 3-D structure, but somehow it looks almost like this front wall is the only wall left, and like it's being held up without any other walls. The light and contrast provided a nice 3D image feeling, but the structure itself rendered very flat and much less substantial than it actually is. Just turned out very interesting...

Although there's nothing to hide, the presence of minors forced me to look for an alternative approach than the usual football team-like picture. Thankfully the 18mm was wide enough to encompass the whole room for the area I really needed, the one showing the presence of people.

Well, clouds weren't there at the time so no clouds. The shot had to be done at F/16 otherwise it would not be entirely sharp. The tree and fence are so close that if I shoot at some other (larger) aperture they would become out of focus. Please learn more about the hyperfocal distance to understand how and where to focus to obtain sharp image from the closest possible distance to infinity. The aperture has to be small, but not to small so that the light diffraction doesn't occur (like in case of f/22 or smaller).
As for the right side I had to compromise on the composition a little bit. I wanted to have the fence in the picture and as much of it as possible to lead the viewer eyes into the shot but that also meant the dark rocky hill on the right. I chose to keep it.

Thanks, Steve, Rick, Dino, Jorge!
No negatives against the Touit, Jorge, except a minor PITA. Composing before you focus can be a waste of time, because focusing may change your composition. So, when shooting landscape on a tripod, one needs to pre-focus first, then compose. Performance-wise, the very strong micro-constrast means the picture does not highlight the myriad micro-details and exquisite mid-tone shadings one gets with fine Leica glass costing much more. But then, sometimes with the Leica one would wish for more micro-contrast.... Overall, I am done with large, heavy cameras. I am just getting too many meaningful shots from times and places where I would carry not one. Unless I decide to go back to 2 systems, but then the large one would be a MF, to justify enough performance increase over the NEX. I would love to see what my Summilux 50 or a Summicron 75 would do on the forthcoming NEX FF. I guess it should be all right with rangefinder glass down to about 35mm....

This looks like Alyssa Milano 25 years ago! I love the way the new ZA 50mm looks, and the fact it is SSM, however I like my Sony 50/1.4 because its very small, Image rendering wise I don't know. I watched some reviews and the reviewers say the Zeiss is better but for me it inconclusive. I want to see more images like this, portraits taken between f1.4 and f2.2 that's how I shoot my Sony 50mm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/theprevia/9512623507/in/photostream/

I like this. Nice colors stand out against the monotone background. If anything, I would crop it square to the edge of the last flag on the right. If you set your settings to view square thumbnails, you will get an idea of how it balances out that way.

Not sure if it's 100% sharp, I had just set the lens wide open and I could only snap it out of the shop where my wife entered, thankfully focus was by chance almost there on his eyes so I shot immediately without any further checks. I chose the title because I made a sign to Ashu to catch his attention and he seemed to ask "what's up dad?"

To me it represents the old looking to the new.
Chinatown with its 100+ old buildings (very old for NYC), is in the foreground, then comes Wall Street section with all the high and modern skyscrapers. Two very different worlds and styles only a few feet apart.

Llwybr Cenedlaethol Arfordir Sir Benfro - Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail. The path covers 186 miles(~299 Kms) from St Dogmeals in the north to Amroth in the south. Spent the last week here walking. Absolutely stunning scenery and marine mammals to be seen from the cliffs. Came across a few US visitors and a few visitors from Germany and Austria. Highly recommended.

Yes it was a very interesting, small, but very solid and has exceptional build quality. AFAIK it was a slightly modified replica from Leica. And even now for manual focusing it is more useful then many modern DSLR with standard dark viewfinders and focusing screens.

Hello! Thank you for liking my photo. Yes, the photo was taken by Planar 2/135mm. The flower is between 1.5m to 2m away from me. I used the camera's light view function in full enlarge. The focal point is the centre of the flower. LCD viewfinder viewer can help fine focus. No additional rings added, only mount convert adaptor.

Thanks Rick - I continue to be impressed with the combination of Zeiss optics and the D800e - I think this platform delivers the highest technical quality images available today. But technology is only one part of the "picture" (pun intended) and ultimately the "seeing" and visual and technical skill of the photographer is infinity more important than the gear. Given a typewriter and enough time even a chimpanzee could hit the right keys in the correct order to produce something like the US Constitution - I suppose the same it true for a Zeiss and D800e - given enough time even a rookie like me can deliver a good landscape now and then!! Thanks for the nice comment and I enjoy your work as well - good shooting to you!!

IMHO perfect sharpness and very nice composition. I believe the bokeh here is an adventage of Planar 2/135mm construction over Sonnar 1.8/135mm (or Apo-Sonnar 2/135mm). CZJ Biometar 2.8/120mm has similar type of bokeh. How have You managed the MFD at 1.5m? Is it crop or is it taken with additional rings?

Thanks! Though they were actually stacked. I'm not to comfortable doing super long exposures on my dslr. Though I have recently dug out my Canon ELan and want to try some star trails on film. The settings were: 1600 iso, 30 second exposure at f/2.8 with 60 frames.

As long as you are around Steven, IQ needs no other advocate! That said, lower-end compacts are a dying breed, and portability is trumping quality the same way as it did with hi-fi, where 24-bit resolution lost out to the screechy but so pratical iPod

You always gamble when you shoot landscapes - weather, light, crowds/overly interested bystanders, long drives to reach the location, subject matter etc. - sometimes things come together. I have been at this location three times in last month and last night the light, clouds and lack of eager art directors came together.

Merfr - I used a 2 stop Galen Rowell ND grad to hold back the fog bank highlight and post processed in CS6 to increase vibrance in foreground and adjust the color temp a bit - the light was extremely flat and disappointing on arrival at the coast - I had hoped for a few sunset pics but that is life - there was another shooter there with a film back Haselblad it would be interesting to see what he captured as well

One thing I have noticed from looking at this site is that American housecats are less photographically interesting than cats from any other country... why is that ? Nice photo, Awesome cat, and that's one lens I really wish would be produced in "A" mount.

Jorge - yes the 21mm is an amazing lens but you have to be very very careful with focus. Mine is over focused at infinity so I have to remember to carefully back off the focus ring just a bit - part of the fun but also can be frustrating when you come back home and find the images are soft because of a focusing issue.

Testing the limits of the 21mm at f22 there is significant color fringing - zoom into the trees standing against the horizon purple fringe on left and green on the left side - otherwise a nice view as the sun set through the smokey haze of Western Oregon

Not exactly sure what the story is however - had to understand because only two of the people died in the same year and one of the people was 100 years old (1909 -2009) so I don't know if they all were in an accident and ran off the cliff together or this was just a place/view they all enjoyed in life

I have not yet bought a flash unit and to be honest am a little intimidated by the thought of using flash. I have yet to study how. I need to go ahead and buy both a flash unit and a book on how to use flash. I do admire the shots where I suspect fill flash has been used but it was so subtle that I am not even sure that flash was used. The pop up flash on my 7D just blasts a bunch of light everywhere and I do not like the results. Maybe I should learn if I can use the pop up flash to add fill light. Any thoughts?

I use a small amount of FLASH when I take photos like this in the Philippines -- it makes all the difference to the quality. I am coming there this Wednesday - am bringing a Miranda 630CD flash unit which I have used there before -- not too heavy on the Aircraft !

First, I couldn't have showed a better pic and I'm always in awe when seeing such beautiful architecture photos. Everything is perfect, also the colorful reflection in the cristal water of the far window. My only wonder is if shooting from a bit higher point of view would have rendered a more balanced image between foreground and background. Now the depth of the fountain is compressed against your eyes as if it would come out the screen, and this is of sure impact but also a little disturbing. From a higher point of view you might have separated it, emphatized the depth of the cathedral while maintaining proportions acceptable for the eyes.

Every time I see such images my inner voice calls me again to visit such places. Even if I was born here, for some mysterious reason I feel bound to those people living in the middle of Asia.. no idea why. Everything virtually in the triangle made of the Caspian Sea, the Bajkal lake and the Tibet has a terrific influence on me.

I like this image a lot - your composition visually draws you to the subject's face and ultimately his furtive stare and compels the viewer to wonder what is in his thoughts at that moment.

Thank you sir. Bahrain has an interesting atmospheric mix of high humidity, dust, sand and of course urban pollution. I saw very little blue sky the whole time I was there which made it feel somewhat otherworldly. I wish I had the opportunity to shoot more photos while I was there. Just the opposite from the crystal clear skies here in Colorado.

Steve, even by your very high standards, this one shines. Awesome is the word that comes to mind. The amount of care and dedication you bring to shooting and post-processing really pays off!

Ciao Lilia, actually he already knows how to shoot and recock the shutter, however neck strap is a different story.. No problem for the camera, it is already damaged but he has already let it fall on His feet, this is a lesson he will have to learn sooner or later !!

Great expression, wonderful photo. Foot doesn't matter, what is important is showing.

Thanks dalth500.
Well, I knew from my D700 years, that 6400 "could" be used in similar situations - only the D800E behaves like one stop better, (12800) and often I dont do any NR with the D800E at all, even this high.
Above do have some NR to it in LR, as its a 2900x4400 crop.
Somehow the "APO" tag on Zeiss & Leica seems to me to reduce noise relatively to other fine lenses, when really low on light...

Flowers are always a draw for photographers and they are very beautiful to the eye like a sunset but can be challenging to come up with something that is beyond a botanists text book photo - I like how you have balanced the bokeh along with the green foliage with the design elements and color of the flower itself - the shadows in the internal parts of the flower are captured well ! Good work!

Hi thanks aquilan. There's a few more from that trip I'll put up using Zeiss lenses. For the stuff using the 300mm most of it was shot using a monopod (with the lens attached to the monopod and the camera hanging off the back of it) as it was quite heavy to be using hand held all the time :)

Ciao Cobra
thanks twice for your lines.
As i wrote in a previous comment, this was not a private shooting but a semi-public workshop and I had to manage taking pics amidst other photographers which were all using super-duper machine guns (af zooms) and were crowded around the model. Actually in this last shot I decided to rotate the effective image to make it more dynamic. While you're right, this is the best I could do at that moment, so please bear with me ! (valid also for the other shot!)

let me explain something, valid also for the other pics. Unfortunately it was NOT a private shooting where I could have worked alone with all the time and the space around me.
It was a workshop and other photographers with full of AF rifle-gun zooms were buzzing around her and since she was moving as well, I needed to have a safe depth of field where to take the pic, especially because she was just a few meters from me. Besides, some of the pics you see are crops of larger pics. This is also the reason why I took other topless pics with a much longer telephoto, an old Tamron SP 300/5.6 (mostly at f/11 or f/16) just because there were too many people around her and I could take pics from a farther distance. If you want to give a peek to the whole gallery, here's the link > http://italy74.smugmug.com/ALLTHEREST/Fashion/Selezione-Indy/29646246_pG6zDS - enjoy !

Thanks Yuri - The Red Barn is one of the iconic American agricultural symbols - at first I thought about a "straight" beauty shot of the red barn but the utility pole and sky seemed to tell a much larger story - thanks to seeing it the same way. Many people grew up in this kind of rural setting - utility poles and wires included!!

Photo is of Association with childhood-poles, wires, houses.
And even the night sky with rain clouds, too, reminiscence of childhood.
The shadow at the bottom of the picture is quite appropriate, if it is removed, the lost beauty of the composition. Good thing you did not remove distortion, in this case, it creates drama. Technically performed brilliantly. My respect, Yuri.

Photo ID 528970
05-26-13
dalth500
You are correct Aquilan - I thin the combination of the Zeiss and NIkon D800e is without comparison when it comes to this kind of shooting situation - I have found each of the Zeiss lens have their own "personality" and they each take a long time to get accustomed to their strengths and their weakness. The 21 is challenging in wide landscape shots - in this case there is no strong anchoring visual element in the foreground so the eye needs to be satisfied looking at color and form in the rest of the composition - thank you for you kind comments

You are correct about the signal noise in the shadow areas - this was shot at the limits of the sensor's abilities to collect light - I actually was a bit hesitant to post it because of the quality issues but I really liked the stars in the river and the overall composition the poor shadow detail notwithstanding

Thanks for Your kind comments: Anatoly15, Dalth500, Nomad and Lilia :)
I carry my tripod only on special occasion and I take my camera with me all times when I leave home. Shutter speed of 1/60 doesn't legitimate to use a tripod with focal length of 55mm but some people teach us that it helps to compose better. I don't follow their guidelines for using tripods.
(to summarize, I didn't use tripod to take this photo).

This is a marvelous cityscape that evokes the memory of Gainsborough in both composition and the use of the clouds - I might have post processed it with a bit more shadow (less detail) in the foreground and denser clouds as predicate to the stunning architecture of the museum and and people walking the grounds. You can get lost in this image and it is an amazing example of the towering optical excellence of Zeiss lenses and the Sony sensor - Well done Sir!!

Pr- you are correct on the focus - subjects were moving very quickly and I was wide open - although the DOF 135 when its this close in is extremely limited even if I had more light and could stop down. With moving subject matter it is always something!! That's why mountains, buildings and trees are so much easier to shoot!!

Lilia - It is indeed an interesting bridge - whether its viewed close up or from far away. It was designed by Ralph Modjeski, who is also credited as the Chief Engineer for the the Manhattan and Oakland Bay bridge - not sure about the Queensboro bridge but there could easily have been adaptation or borrowing of engineering style as Modjeski is thought of as one of the leading early 20th century bridge designers in the US. I am starting to look more closely at bridge construction and detail thanks to this site!!

I like taking picture dandelion. Why? I don't now.
It's lens Carl Zeiss 50mm/2 ZK - namely Pentax K-mount.
It's crop. I take picture without tripod.

About sharpness:
Maybe I can already feel the CZ lens ZK, Pentax camera and dandelion.
Maybe it's Pentax K-30 + Carl Zeis lens effect.
But sometimes I add sharpness in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before publication.
Here too.

This is a 3 vertical images panorama of Canyon X in Arizona. Each shots was exposed 3 times (+ 1 and – 1 stop) and then blended using the luminosity masking technique. The stitching was done in PS CS6. All other editing was done in Lightroom.
I added water effect in PP to make this image more interesting.
Enjoy.

I like the ambiance of this shot. It reminds me of long ago moments when I was walking touring Europe as a nineteen year-old. The streets were strange and warm even after dark, and populated by people who were comfortable in those places. The difference between the strangeness I felt and the natural comfort of everyone else created this mood you have here, something nice on one hand, a bit menacing on the other.

Yes, I understand fully. Sometimes we neglect the whole picture when we look at only a tiny part; however, the reverse is true as well. We must be clever enough to balance both, then judge for ourselves. This is a metaphor for life itself.

Anatoly - As I was shooting this scene I was thinking about cutting open the cyclone fence to get a better view - I am actually thinking of building a platform to shoot from on top of my SUV (similar to that used by Ansel Adams on his car in the 1950s) to get above fences or other obstructions to get a better perspective and eliminate distractions like this fence!

These interesting balls are from the sand stone, the same stone Antelope Canyon is made of so they have high light reflectivity. The sun effect was added in post processing. The blur was achieved by setting the lens to f/1.4.

Thanks Anatoly - yes I purchased a Manfrotto 055 series with two different style heads - one is the hydrostatic ball (very quick and simple to use -but expensive) and the more traditional 804RC2 with handles - both working well!

Thanks Jorge,

Here is a cropped replacement. I was unsure of this one! With the crop the fact that I was off a tad on my focus is highlighted more so. The original photo was shot horizontal and both cars are a part of the subject and with that perspective it did not matter that I was off on my focus. While comparing the two versions of this perspective I asked my 5 year old which she thought was better and she agreed with you. When asked why she replied "his head is bigger." Simplicity!

Photo ID 528174

Hi torralba - indeed the D800e and the Zeiss lenses are a winning combination - regardless of the focal length. I am not an optical engineer but I am pretty sure the 135 APO and the 35 1.4 are actually capable of exceeding the resolution/detail (if these are correct technical terms) of the D800e sensor - when I have enlarged images in CS6 to 1600% the lens is still delivering detail that is beyond what the individual pixels appear to represent - My feeling is this generation of Zeiss lenses will continue to exceed the design and image processing firmware limits of digital sensors for the foreseeable future - I will post some cropped sections of images to try and demonstrate the effect

Very urban; very colorful. A little motion blur on the guy but it is apparent that the location is covered and likely very dark therefore the longer exposure time with a slightly moving subject (of course that is assuming that the person is the primary subject which I do not think that he is but rather the painting of the face). It is difficult to catch everything on the spur of the moment but I wonder what it would be like if the ISO was bumped up a little and to have increased the kelvin temperature just a tad what the shot would have looked like. For me there is so much to learn and right now I am trying to get my head around White Balance bracketing so as to discover the nuances of the color spectrum.

Thanks Anatoly this is Bonneville Dam completed in the late 1930s as part of the "New Deal" to overcome the Great Depression that saw over 30% of Americans out of work. Over 80 years later it is still an important source of electrical energy in the Northwestern US. Also thanks for the reminder to use live-view with this lens - the focus is very very sensitive and the only way to ensure accuracy is to enlarge the intended subject area in live view and set the focus - which of course means using a tripod

The newer versions of the Carl Zeiss lenses are surely more sharper than the C/Y old versions wide open. But the colour reproduction and rendering is very different comparing both together. That's why I kept the C/Y version of the 3514 and didn't upgrade when the new lens came out.

Anyway thanks for popping in aquilan!

Both lens are great, I believe that Planar C/Y version of 1.4/50mm is better (*sharper) wide open and it has better bokeh. Other hand, I prize more ZF.2 version of Distagon 1.4/35 over C/Y version. It simple better wide open...

Very nice product photography :) Lighting and DoF are very naturals...

Albrecht,

Nice shot - it brings back memories. I photographed this same scene in 1957 thereabouts with my first 35mm cmaera. It hasn't changed much - looks like a newer paintjob that's all. Thanks for sharing!

I waited about three months to get this lens and the wait was well worth it!!!

This setting is a photographic challenge - did you use a split neutral density filter to control the differential between the sunset and the dark foreground? I am just starting to explore the split ND filter to overcome this common challenge - nice light from the sun!

Yeah usually the surprises were failures!! Digital truly frees you to focus on the composition and artistic aspects without worrying about development time/temperature curves for film and then the challenges of printing the negative - and that's just in B&W and doesn't factor in the order of magnitude difficulties of processing color transparencies and or printing C-41 images - It really slowed the creative process down and I think we thought a lot more about the whether the image was truly "worthy" of the effort along with taking more time to meter the exposure, check focus and generally double check things before the shutter was released - it took masters like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston a lifetime to assemble a body of work using large format equipment - I wonder how their work would have been influenced by today's technology

This image really shows the power of the 15mm when you need to extend the angle of view to the maximum without the curvilinear distortion of a fisheye - great composition and execution using a long exposure - note that even with a 66 second exposure there is little "star tracking" due to the extreme wide angle lens - Well done sir!!

Carol, I don't want to foretell but with my previous experiences I used to recognize f/5.6 result as best with double gaussian lenses such as Glatzel Planar 1.4/50mm or Pancolar 1.4/55mm. I will try it to recheck it at infinity (and post it). Higher aperture should boarden a DoF but the overall quality drop may overwhelm it. I wouldn't be supprised with similar positive effect of smallest apperture with classical sonnar design like ZM Sonnar 1.5/50mm and CF Sonnar 4/180mm.

Yes, I agree. Stopping down fast primes a stop or two is the norm. The 50 Macro Planner is quite good in that respect probably due to being a slower lens design.

For astrophotography with DSLRs the problem for me is the lack of 'red' which is filtered out by the IR filter. Canon have a partial solution to this with their D60a. Of course serious astrophotographers use dedicated monochrome astro CCD cameras and filters.

I have a permanently mounted telescope on a large equatorial mount and living down here dont really have the light pollution issues. Plenty of cloud though.

With photography it's always a balance between factors -I am thinking of getting an equatorial mount to increase my exposure times without the "trail" effect. Currently the D800e body I use is for astrophotography is right at the color resolving limits of technology with 20-30 second exposures, at 1.4- 2.8 using ISO 1600. For the record the coma in your shot is minimal compared to the big prime Nikkors I have used. When wide open my 50mm 1.2 Nikkor rendered nearly every bright star with rings like Saturn - so ultimately you really need to stop most lens down and resort to longer exposures using an equatorial but then you run the risk of additional atmospheric effects and light pollution blowing the dark sky out. I am located at 45 degrees NORTH latitude!

Yes stopping down would improve the coma but of course increase the exposure.

What was the latitude for this exposure? Great use of an equatorial mount there is however a bit of coma observed on the outer edges of the frame - I wonder if this would improve by stopping down a bit?

Thanks Anatoly - While I risk being labeled as "Another fool who thinks he is a China expert" the growth and development of China in the past 20 years is one of the most significant economic and sociological developments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This family was from Guangdong Province (borders Hong Kong) and this was their first vacation to Hong Kong - a vacation that 20 years ago would have been next to impossible for them to take. I is wonderful to see this kind of new found capacity to travel and experience the world - they certainly were enjoying their visit to Hong Kong and were very happy to have me take their family portrait. My Chinese was not good enough however to get their contact details so I couldn't send a copy back to them...maybe they will see their picture here!

The eerie blue of the water kind of gives it a surreal feel. I'm a little mesmerized by the division of light in the water, the portion of the bridge above the blue water is dark and the portion above the dark water is illuminated. I don't want to write all my observations but it's a photo that is both crazy and cool and keeps drawing my eyes to different parts while trying to categorize it.

Thanks for Your suggestion Dalth500 :) I wished to show exact colour and brightness of a sky. I tried to redevelope it with 1 EV more - but the main theme (sky over power-plant) isn't so well preserved then.
I would try to get another shot with tripod (with ISO100) so I could make it more HDR but for that shoot it is all what I could get from :)
Thanks again for Your vote about this photo.

Yes, I agree with zeisse. It's the best from those three photos, because only here lights don't look to be burned up. I believe that the other one may be a little overexposured (about half a stop).

Thanks All! The water was marginally warmer I think. The air temperature was around zero C and I think that the water was around 4-5 degrees. There was ice in many protected bays and this is a tidal area so the water comes and goes. I am back home now after four fantastic days on Lofoten with all sorts of weather except really murky weather with fog and snow all day except the last day when we drove to the airport of Kiruna in Sweden.

Hi and thanks, actually we are almost at 70 th degrees here. I don't live here, we came yesterday, but I think it is quite common at this latitude. We saw it for several hours, but we were in a car and when we had reached our place and had some food it was almost midnight and then it stopped, but I got a couple of images. I have published one more today. My home is at 60th latitude and there these displays are very rare.

My dream is to photograph the Auroral displays - Half the year I live at 45 degrees north latitude and in 50 years have only seen the Aurora Borealis twice - the other half I live at 17 degrees north latitude and unless there is a shift in the Earth's magnetic field I don't think I will ever be able to see it there - I checked and it looks like you are about 68 degrees north latitude there - How often during the year can you see the Northern lights?

It was an unusually still night - this location is in the middle of the Columbia River Gorge which is notorious for high winds driven by the pressure differential between the drier continental land mass and incoming Pacific Ocean storms. As such it is one of the premier wind surfing areas in the world! I have seen 3 meter high waves on these waters but never seen it this calm and flat. At first I thought the blue of the stars in the water was some kind of LED or natural luminescence - I have never seen it so flat that the water reflected stars!!

In 1857 the street was widened, in the years 1880-1881 extended to Grzybowski Square. In September 1939, buildings of Próżna were partially burned down. In November 1940, the western part of the street on the section between the Zielna St. and the Grzybowski Sq. became a part of the Warsaw Ghetto. It was off a few months later, in March 1941, after moving the Ghetto by the Germans in the area of the square Grzybowski and line of the Bagno St. and Wielka St.; Próżna St. is the only street that both sides buildings (houses at Nos. 7, 9, 12 and 14) survived the destruction of the ghetto. During the Warsaw Uprising it was the scene of fighting, including between houses No. 9 and 14 there were erected barricades closing the outlet of Próżna St. to Grzybowski Sq. In 1944 the buildings of central and eastern part of the street were destroyed.

In 1987 the buildings were entered in the register of monuments. Since 2004, the street is place of running the Festival of Jewish Culture in Warsaw - "Singer's Warsaw". In 2011 began the renovation of houses at number 7 and 9, which will be converted into office buildings.

If you have the change, go there. Caño Cristales is a Colombian river located in the Serrania de la Macarena, province of Meta
The blossom of a unique species of plant that lines the river floor called Macarenia clavigera turns a brilliant red.
One of the most beautiful rivers in the world.

Torralba - I post processed the image in CS6 using a tilt-shift blur effect to achieve the "miniature" effect. The 35mm Distagon is an amazing lens even when used to shoot through a dirty or scratched commercial airliner window. I do have a 17mm Canon Tilt Shift lens that I use on a 5D MKII but it is difficult (nearly impossible) to use properly without a tripod because of the different tilt and shift settings and the manual focus and exposure overrides necessary to get a true tilt-shift image. Post processing in CS6 provides a good alternative when you are shooting images on final approach to the runway trough your window seat.

Thank you. You may have noticed a have a few similar shots from the last couple of days. This is because two days ago I was near the forest when I saw this long and spooky section of bike path at night. I took a picture of it, but then kept thinking about how this particular forest always makes me think of the children's story Hansel and Gretel. With that in mind, I kept going back at dusk (3 days in a row) until I had a shot that really matched that feeling. With this image, I was satisfied so I'm glad someone else spotted it.

By the way, I really enjoy your photos. I was going through them last night and found any to be inspiring. I was showing one of your butterfly images to my wife and daughter, both of whom also admired it, then referenced it later to my daughter as an inspiration to get some decent insect photos over the summer. I'm still new to photography, having worked professionally as a comic book artist, painter, illustrator, and CG artist. This just means that some things, like focusing on moving things like an insect or a person is still difficult for me. Today I will be practicing on that at Carnaval celebrations in town but in the meantime am very curious how you and other photographers get such perfect focus on moving objects.

This is an original house made by adobe. The architect Octavio Mendoza is creating this construction entirely of clay and baked it like a craft. Doing this, he wants to raise awareness about the dangers of the modern construction in nature. It is becoming one of the attractions of Villa de Leyva.

Dramatic. I feel the forced vignetting adds to the drama. I don't know if this was intentional, but the cloud shapes towards the edge of the image look painterly, almost geometric, not photographic. To me this adds a tension to the image; adding to the drama.

Thanks again oof. I'm still understanding the workings of Silver Efex. I've found if one pushes selective area adjustments too extreme, the image begins to degrade quickly, especially high-contrast edges.

Did you use a polarization filter to get the sky like that or was it mostly your pp handiwork? I like it!

Great dramatic b/w image. My only critique... I would have cropped a bit tighter, some on left and more on right, to make the cityscape larger in the background. Not a huge crop and still keep it off-center, but found myself wanting to see more of the city on the shoreline! FYI, I have the 21 Biogon for my M9. Fantastic optic!

bajanexile I totally agree with you that printing is one of the most important aspect of photography. In fact I am the only one that still believes in fine art printing using piezography or quadtone rip for black and white. I dont think your critique was harsh in fact, I took it with great respect. I urge to see the actual print when you ever come by New York. Trust me is doesn't look like the webpage at all. In fact your first critique was about my cropping and post procession rather than actual print. By the way, printing is my speciality. Especially black and white. I think you weren't use to see actual grain or scan from an Imacon. The reason why you think it looks that way is because it was scan at 8000 DPI. Which means it has a resolution to print 35 inches wide without interpolation. I urge to check out my website and credentials at www.hanspurwastudios.com

Very nice photo! I like the sun star and the colors are wonderful. This is a lens I've considered before. I owned the old contax version but sold it after comparing the sharpness to Canon's 2 wide angle zooms and finding it similar. However, I regret that decision as I've moved onto a larger mp camera and the edges and corners are far better on the wide angle zeiss lenses.

Anyways, good luck with the contest. This is a great image. I hope you do well!

I know it seems a bit harsh, but this image is currently in the Top Ten of the Competition. Ask yourself this question: "Would I produce a large print of this image as it stands and attempt to sell it ?". If the answer is "No", then you understand where I am coming from. Hope this is helpful. Knowing things as they stand, this image may go on to win the competition. Printing an image is the ultimate acid test in Photography and in my opinion, what really counts. It is what the Public will see at an Exhibition, not a Web post.Good luck! It is only my opinion (one single opinion at that). Steve

Great potential this image but spoilt by the post processing and presentation. Why on earth have you left the black band on the left side of the Frame? It needs re-cropping for a Competition.

Greetings Piotrze,
the handling of Hologon is very easy, in most cases You put focus lever at infinity mark (due to Hyperfocal distance of 1.66m). Apperture doesn't need to be corrected at most cases (cause it is constant) and that's it :)

Handling of magenta shift is different story (and it hasn't been that easy up till now). Some of my photos has been left unchanged, because they look moody with "delicate" magenta shift. First I tried Cornerfix, which was advised to me by Steve Watson too :) CornerFix is great software, but it needs some calibration shot and I haven't got useful RAW yet. Every small shadows of calibration shot is seen at result photo after Cornerfix's correction so it is difficult technique to set (using is quite easy by contrary). I think I could get be better results if I could make calibration shot at clear, white background and proper lighting at studio but I haven't got my studio yet.
Above photo is corrected with Photoshop and manually painted extra layer in colour mode. This way I corrected only a border's magenta shift and fade out of light. Every else is untouched as it resulted with Photomatix. Source TIFFs were prepared with Camera Raw to reduce noise and vignetting.

Thanks for Your comment.

This is an interesting image.I'm curious how do you cope with the fussy 16/8 hologon,i.e. inconvenient operation and strong magenta cast with the NEX7?

Podoba mi się to zdjęcie.Ciekawe jak dajesz sobie radę z tak wymagającym obiektywem jak Hologon 16/8,to znaczy z jego obsługą i mocnym purpurowym zabarwieniem zdjęć z NEXa 7?

Pretty awesome, IMO. I like my entry (else I wouldn't have entered it), but this is fantastic. Other entries are also beautiful, but I'm trying to limit my votes to those adhering to the emphasis on light itself rather than action or texture or inherent subject interest, ie babes.

I see, yes for hi-fi applications that would make sense. I'm a guitar player so distortion is very desirable for tube amps in that application. They've made great strides to create digital modeling of tube amps for guitar but in the end they're just simulating the real thing and they still don't have the same feel or response. Tubes aren't cheap but they haven't been beat yet. Glad to see we have some audiophiles here!

Just the Tops Rick. A stacked pair (four panels) of refurbished Quad Electrostatics would just round off the system. People think that Photography is expensive! The price of a Leica M9 won't even buy you a 2 metre set of top of the range Stereo Bi-wirable speaker cables from Nordost. Do you still have the Jadis amp? I would settle for that. Steve

Nomad,

In spite of the Retro Look, this is actually a very state-of-the-art amplifier. The output transformer in a traditional amp is usually one of the biggest sources of distortion. The elimination of the output transformer yields a much cleaner output. The seemingly large number of tubes is how they adjust the output voltage to match the speakers without using a transformer. Atma-Sphere is very much in business these days with quite a loyal following.

Very nice! Looks like some nice vintage tubes there. That's a whole lotta tubes for 30 watts! I've never seen a transformerless amp before, I'm sure that made sense to someone once upon a time but probably not as efficient. Gotta love tubes though, they still haven't made anything that sounds better.

Thanks Joey. Rick is your Tube Man. I use a Krell Solid State amplifier through Sonus Faber speakers. The turntable is a bit special, as it is a Vintage Oracle Delphi Mk.II with SME IV tone arm and a Koetsu Black MC cartridge. Magic! I never sold any of my Vinyl collection and have taken over two peoples collections that decided to go totally Digital. Paid about ~ $3 an album. Took both collections in as Job Lots. Some wonderful stuff. Steve

Thanks Rick. I was listening to the 1980 Emmylou Harris album "Roses in the Snow" (On Vinyl of course) Side 2, Track 3, "Jordan" and I was looking at the Master Files for this image and thought "These do nothing for me", when in the last line of the last verse she sang "When He calls us over Jordan's Tide". I thought B&W with a spotlit bridge. The rest was all in the PP using a Red Filter, selective use of the Curves function in Photoshop, a Vignette and processing in the film style of Kodak ISO32 Panatomic X etc.etc. Steve

Beautiful family and scenic photos. Please show us more.

As for troubled times, yes. Your country especially. Mine in similar and with different set of problems. The main problem is ETHICS -- no one knows what this word is any more. Not the way you and I were brought up, I am sure.

I went to our Central Park to photograph some more photos. The few hours gives me peace.

The Maxxum 7D does not see that lens as a 1.8, Minolta never made AF 1.8 lenses so the camera thinks its a 1.7, its just a software thing, otherwise that lens is perfectly compatible with the Maxxum 7D and all Minolta "A" mount cameras film or digital. I'm Glad you like the Shot!!

I respect your views & opinions, but i think sometimes you must break the rules of conventionality to convey an over exaggerated mood or feel. In this case the close proximity pulls you into his alleged tough exterior. Your in His Space, which not many people are allowed into.
With regards to exposing the same image in B&W & Color.....You don't think this B&W image portrays more of a Bad Ass Character than the Exuberant Color One?! The Bottom Line is that the Client Ordered this image in both & that is what pays the Bills My Friend! The fact that you don't "Understand" or "Agree" with another person's style of work is what makes our Craft so Wonderful! We all see it differently. If you don't understand it...just Ask, then maybe you will! :-)

A good picture is one that speaks to you, keeps you interested or gives you a certain feeling. Having said that, this picture clearly makes me just want to stay indoors for the winter. You have successfully conveyed to me that it is miserable and cold in this scene.

Steve, thanks for Your article. It is really interesting alternative summarize of photographic knowledge :) According to Your source, only Traversal CA is satisfactorily corrected with computer software. It doesn't looks like Traversal CA, it could be Axial CA or sensor blowing, which are practically uncorrectable. Best regards, WZ.

aquilan. The purple Fringing is due to Chromatic Aberration and one can correct for this form of Lens Distortion in most software packages. Both DxO, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 use Plug In Lens Modules that can minimise Purple Fringing. The easiest way is to treat the image at the time of RAW conversion. You can read about Chromatic Aberrations here: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/lens-corrections.htm

Nice colorus and exposure balance between most dark and most highlighted areas. Recenlty I started to fight with purple hallow, which shows at high contrast borders of picture taken against strong source of light. I believe it is constant feature of all T* coated lenses :)

Hi Luka,
Where is this exactly?
I was at the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. If you haven't been, be sure to go. Fabulous lower Manhattan skyline, closer distance so the effect is astonishing. Even diehard New Yorkers (like me), literally stood amazed like a silly tourist.
And be sure to walk around Brooklyn Heights itself for glorious old homes that have been beautifully restored.

I put a darkroom print of this into the Brentwood Photographic Club's Print competition and the Judge said the 'white area' at top left should be cropped out and also much more of the right side making the print an oblong shape , butr of course the wood was not straight -- it was leaning over so the 'lines' would not have been straight -- do you all agree with the Judge ?

every photo is an interpretation of what you saw and had in mind, and every photo will be a matter of taste.
The clouds where very bright and not so much contrast. The tanks where very dark against the sun.
With Nik Silver Efex2 I made a few presets to get the clouds that I want and had in mind while taking the photo.
I will post some more pictures with less pushed clouds and hope, that you may like them more, morry :)

Handheld Dan -

I trust the steady shot built into the A900 body.

f8, 1/100th second - ISO 200 -

Focus was on the stem letting the blossom fade out of focus to provide a saturated color backdrop,

Yes the "point and shoot" RX100 is an amazing camera - lots of Fun. However, the FF A900 is really my favorite "Photographic Instrument" .

The shadow and light really make this a great shot, the bridge and tram caught my eye first but the buildings under the bridge make the scene even more interesting, I love the way the photo is layered diagonally from dark to light, dark to light to dark.

In this case, I wanted to crop out the bush in framing ( not in 'cropping after shot' ) but the terrain made it difficult. If I remember correctly, there was a big dip on the ground at where I wanted to place camera for 50. But I agree, the perspective of 50 is my fav and probably prefer to longer lens on this shot.

Hi,
yes the lens is a ZF not ZM somehow i pushed the wrong lens field and f stop was f/8 according to the Metadata not f/2.8.. sorry to cause confusion i will be more careful next time.. thank you for your input....i tend to shoot more with a limited DOF then the lens set to infinity i will post other examples images where the DOF was too shallow to my liking. i like the to see from where the subject come from or the subjects surroundings, to me it finishes the story of the image.....but yet, bring your attention to the subject.
Photo ID 522186

Wolf, 1) if You look at Distagon 2.8/15mm datasheet You would find at last page (Deep of Field), that at f/8 only if You set focus at infinity, You will get DoF from 1.48m to infinity. If You set focus at 40cm, You will get DoF only from 31cm to 55 cm.
2) Distagon 2.8/21 is less wide angle lens than 2.8/15, so if we suppose similarity in design and design's scalability, the DoF of 2.8/21 should be more shallow than DoF of 2.8/15 at the same aperture and focus' setting.
3) I wonder how George mounted rangefinder lens at big DSLR like D800. So he probably misselected Biogon ZM instead of Distagon ZF/ZF-II.

Very nice sunset George, I wish to see this scene with wider DoF but still colours are very interesting.

Carol, You probably heard about Contax G1/G2 Rangefinder camera series. They used special G-mount with autofocus. Contax G1/G2 RF mount has quite short flange focal distance of 29 mm so it could not be used with any DSLR :( For Hologon especially back focal distance is extremlly short (6.8mm) so It is told that Hologon isn't compatibile with current digital sensor. I could use any Contax-G/Nex adapter (I choose Kippon one, which is most pricely but I didn't wanted to get any bad surprises), but to save my sensor I had to crop a little protective horns from rear side of lens. I may send You some final photos of Hologon's rear cut off, if You wish :)

It is trully amazing with geometry, sharpness..only magenta colour shift (at corners) and vignetting is a little bit problem.
Thanks again for Your attention and comment, best regards, WZ.

Thanks for the link, Steve, it looks like some interesting reading. I sure hope the funding doesn't get cut off, the parks are one of the most important things the U.S. govt has done and the research programs are essential to keeping the environment safe for both the native species and the visitors.

Thanks Rick and Debbie. No time traveling yet Rick, a few more images to take. On my first trip to California in 1976, we drove down from Vancouver to San Francisco. We drove down the coastal road and then turned across to the 101. I remember seeing a billboard from the highway outside a town called Eureka that proclaimed "We buy junk and sell antiques". It appealed to our British sense of humor and sums up this place. Steve

Thanks Carol and Steve! I agree, Glacier is an amazing place, we had a real hard time leaving, I was there when I was a kid and it felt like I had come home.

I bet that's an interesting program to be involved in, we saw a black bear while we were there but no grizzlies, although apparently one visited our campground when we were out. I hope she packed lots of warm clothes if she's staying until November. brrrrr!

Thanks for Your replay, Zebra is great pattern but i am curious about internal changes beside I believe Olympic Sonnar wasn't Medium Format lens (it was FF lens with Contax RF mount)..Zeiss PSix lenses draw great at FF sensor, I like my Biometar 2.8/120 at APS-C very much - even I am able to shot with Sonnar 1.8/135 instead :)

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. I try to shoot in the f/8-14 range unless it's cloudy, I agree that the DoF is much nicer in that range. The moon only peeked out from behind the clouds for a few minutes, unfortunately there wasn't a lot of light and I didn't want to raise the ISO since my a700 tends to get noisy in higher ranges. I'd like the chance to take that photo over again (that would mean I'd be on vacation again).

Interesting composition, nice details and colours of mountain, but I would try different exposure settings, maybe the result could be diffrent. My CZ 16-80 works amazing between f/8-16, when diffraction still isn't a problem. At upper boundary DoF and corner performance are better than bellow f/5.6.

Maybe but sometimes the 100 will really purple fringe on a white dress at 2.0. At the time I didn't have much time to pull this off. This was about a 4-5 minute window we had right before going into the reception. So in those times I usually go with the safer f-stop.

Looking at this one I can surely say that this is way better than the color version. This is a truly amazing shot, and very dramatic I would say.

Actually its a straight up vertical shot of the new spherical theater in the North Carolina Museum of Natural History. The outside is a globe which juts out of the new wing and the inside is hollow with multiple floors. I'm at ground level shooting straight up. I really liked the color and abstract composition that to me gives a sense of falling or emptiness below.

I agree, B&W is excellent choice.

For me, it is all about the face: the expression, anguish, exhaustion from pulling heavy cartons. He is an old man who must do heavy manual labor. What thought is going through his mind right now.

sometimes they have a boss in the group and everyone needs to fulfill certain amount per day. Still heartbreaking, but it is another type of scam to work out of the people some money - for some other person and not for themselves. Sometimes they force their children to beg for money, sometimes they brake their legs so they can earn more money. Some people beg for drugs, some for drink - some do it as a part of a lifestyle (yes it exists), some beg to buy food.

Kamila (she is called Kamila) was looking at Bandit Sister (called Claudine), which sit above her (Claudine is pictured at previous photo). Kamila wished to move closer to Claudine but she told her not to come closer (at cat's language). So Kamila sit, observed Claudine and waited for change of situation.

As far as I know, it depends on line. ZF-II/ZE/ZS is made mainly by Cosina, only most priced models like Distagon 2.8/15 ZF-II/ZE are made in Germany (Zeiss Oberkochen facility). Other example was, just discontinued, ZM Sonnar 2/85, which bears name of "Made in Germany". ZA lenses are manufactured at Japanese Sony Facilities (with Zeiss Quality Management and half of materials is delivered by Zeiss AG).

Is Zeiss manufacturing lenses for SLR/SLT/mirrorless, or is it licensing others to do so? Such as Cosina (for Nikon and Canon, ZF.2 and ZE respectively) or Sony, aka Minolta (ZA lenses)?

A very serene place. Love the sunset rays. Details are awesome.
Is it my eye vision, my screen, or the Distagon 21mm has a moustache like curvature? Anyway the shot is cropped from its original size, so the water horizon was not at the center.

Ok, work with me.
How about sprinkling some water on the grapes so that you get some glistening effect, and letting the fruit lay in haphazard order.
This setting is too perfect. Maybe that's because my supermarket never has gorgeous fruit like yours and I'm envious! (smile)

Perhaps a banana with a brown spot on it would make me happier.

You will not have to choose as there will be "variations on a theme" in the future. This is from the East River Promenade, near my favorite bench, where I visit regularly on summer evenings. It is only a 5 minute walk from my home.

Fabulous colours the ropes at 2 o'clock in the image. Love fish, I would be in my element in your neck of the woods. Our coastal waters have been fished out by our EU partners with their drag nets etc. Even something as common as Cod is disappearing and fishermen have been paid to reduce their fleets. This is one crazy world that we live in. Steve

Wolf,

This is the Queensborough Bridge (aka 59 Street Bridge Song) that connects Manhattan to Queens. Although it is not "pretty" it is beloved by its people as it is a 103 year old workhorse. One of the only bridges that is still free so it gets much traffic.

If you are old enough to appreciate Simon & Garfunkel (who were neighbors of mine in Queens), one of their best songs was Feeling Groovy (also known as the 59th Street Song). This bridge is on 59 Street, therefore we call it by 2 names.

You would love the area across the bridge as it is all old industrial buildings, however, that is changing now to luxury apartment buildings. In Manhattan we only build UP, no extra space, so we look elsewhere for living space. Shame, as it will lose its old flavor.

Glad you like it!

This was photographed behind thick glass as it was a florist shop window display. Very difficult to photograph as major avenue behind me with constant traffic that reflects in the glass.

The Sony Nex5N is good for distance but am having problems doing closeup work. No viewfinder and I sometimes am focusing blindly.

Any suggestions?

Yes, it was. All the buildings in this small area on the East River are for the super rich and famous.

Apartments / condos vary from $6 to 30 million. Some even more.
Across the street is #1 building in the city, Riverhouse. Kissinger lives there now. Nice man. My friend bumped into him some years ago on a Sunday morning and had a nice long chat with him.

In its day Riverhouse had docks where the rich would arrive on their yachts. Greta Garbo lived on the next block. Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Irving Berlin, Katharine Hepburn, Otto Preminger, IM Pei, titans of industry, film, the arts, etc.

As the Brits say, "There is no poverty here."

You must be having a great Mushroom season over there this year. This is a very sharp photograph of what I am quite sure is a Polyporus Squamosus - also "Pheasant's Back Polypore". The tender edges can be pickled or saute'ed. Enjoy!

Yes, Joe. Little packages have been arriving for the past 2 weeks. Am trying out different combinations until I feel it is right for me. Also got a Summicron 50mm at VERY low cost, so will see which I like better. Fortunately, with internet it is easy to sell.

Have not done manual focus since 1970. Feel like an absolute idiot fumbling with dials. Hope to improve.

It is like a joke about a colossal canvas uniformly covered with red paint, which has been contracted as 'A passage of the Red Sea by Israelis'. When trader asked why he received plain red canvas, an author answered that painting portrays the Red Sea. Then interlocutor asked where the Pharaoh's army is, he was told that it's flooded. When a final question was made 'where are on earth, the Jews?', there was an answer that they had already passed the Red Sea.

Superb composition Rick ~ you are going the right way with your equipment. HDR or NOT. I like the colours and composition in both versions. The sky is more noticeable in this one and does give the image more balance I think. Also, you are not going out of the picture to the brightest point anymore. but caution advised so you don't make the sky the subject - unless you intend that of course :)

All right, I see You point. But larger format is used, beside other things (like..), to preserve details which are lost in smaller formats. Which only 800 dots, I don't see any details more than picture taken with pocket, spy fixed focus lens camera. I always resize my picture up to about 4.7MB, which is limit for size at ZI, to preserve as much details as I can with my APC size sensor.

Yes Steve, this is impeccable and could be med format film. I just love the texture you got from this and the tone in the lone cedar is to die for! I used to have an "orange" Heliopan filter that I used a lot with my b&w film images. It really gave tremendous depth to things like this.

Maybe I don't see a point, but You may always move little forward with 50mm or move a little back with 100mm. The framing would be almost the same, little perspective changes wouldn't have been most important here. If I were there, I would have chosen then same 50mm because Macro lens have a little different DOF. It is hard to replace 100mm with 50mm or 25mm with 85mm (where difference is more than about 3:2 focal length), but I like most view of angle here.

Thank you all for your comments. Not sure what you mean by "prefer horizontal". Do you mean shot in Landscape VS Portrait, which I have used? Joe, for the real detail in this stained-glass window, please see my updated image reprocessed in Adobe Photoshop LR4. Is this what you have in mind?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bajanexile/6966150156/sizes/l/in/photostream/

To achieve this exposure in the large image, the interior of the Church would be black. I was trying to show the size and the placement of the window i.e. it is very large and it is high up in the West end of the Nave. The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM is just such a versatile and useful lens to have in your Camera Bag. It's there when you need it. Shame that there is no Zeiss equivalent with Autofocus and IS. Regards steve

Anyone interested in the detail of this stained glass can look at my image on Flickr:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bajanexile/6966150156/sizes/l/in/photostream/

This was shot with a Canon Telephoto lens as far back as possible from the window to minimise the lens distortion. I obviously can't post this image here.

Thank you Shapencolour and Lilia... Belitung island in Indonesia is indeed a beautiful place and it's like a heaven for photographer, especially those like taking beach scenery. It is not a major tourist attraction yet, not like i Bali, so going there you won't find any night life attraction and such, the hotel at best is three star. But the beaches, it's rock, all very pristine and still untouched...

I'm looking at this shot in B&W and the edifice melds with the church. The shadow between the two gives it a nice separation. I think this shot works much better here. I'm glad I took another look. :-)

Thanks for Your comment, Mr MediumFormatMan :)

It was taken handheld, so exposure was set to achieve ≥ 1/20 sec. There wasn't any space to move. Wide open aperture (f2.8), sensitivity was set to upper minimal value, which compensates lack of light. I shot it in Aperture-priority mode, so I had lowered about 1/3 EV to central-weighted indication of light-meter.

I love your photography and cannot wait for my Sony NEX7. I did receive the Zeiss Sonnar 24mm f1.8 lens this past week. I purchased a B&W brand 49mm UV filter for the lens but after putting the filter on the lens the Lens Hood will not fit. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks mediumformatfan. This is ~ a 40% crop of the full frame. The foreground has been taken out. I set up the camera using a Manfrotto Spirit Level so no adjustments were necessary this time. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, one does not position the camera "dead centre"/perpendicular to the subject and the image then needs a small bit of centering using the Left/right adjustment in DxO plus a tweak to the Horizontal. DxO is just amazing for corrections to Geometry. Steve

See:

http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/470-zeiss_zf_21_28_5d

and

"The resolution of the Zeiss lens is very high straight from f/2.8. The peak quality is reached at f/5.6 but there're only minor quality variations across the tested aperture range actually."

"there're only minor quality variations across the tested aperture range " - I would agree with this statemement. As one might expect, the results tend to be sharper out into the corners of the Frame at Apertures > f/4. Many of these images will be printed so corner performance is quite important. Viewed on a Monitor, the difference may not be as obvious unless you have access to the full file and view the corner quality at 100%.

Great colour rendition and contrast. As I said before, this is a wonderful camera and will last you years and years and now you have access to the wonderful range of Zeiss Autofocus lenses. The 85mm or the 135mm would be useful for isolating areas within a landscape. The Sony 70-200mm would be a good compromise to either of the Prime Lenses. You ought to drop joey an e-mail as he was talking to me about possibly selling his 70-200mm and buying another Prime Lens. It might be a good deal and we know that he would treasurer and look after his camera equipment. Steve

Hi Joe!

This is absolutely stunning -- the benefits of living on the West side!
I'm on the East River, we can't see sunsets at all.

Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to digital lingo, what is 3 image HDR?

Thanks, and continued great success with your photography.

Magnificent!

There is fantastic history to this Bridge and we love it. Ken Burns, the famous documentary director made a 2 hour history which you should see when you return home. It is still to this day an engineering marvel of a genius and his son.

Jeroen, I see you are in NYC. I can give you some advice if you like. Not the touristy kind. My travels have taken me to 60 countries which I traveled alone as a woman. Not easy.

I live on the East River by the Queensborough Bridge / 59 Street and can give you a walking tour and history, but only if you have the time. Do not feel obligated as I know you are on holiday.

Good news is that Zeiss ZM line lenses are not more expensive than SLR Line (ZF/ZE/ZA), but the cost of M9 body for me is too much too :) Other hand IQ of M9's images are slightly worse than of 5D Mk.II. Next year there is planed to release M10, probably with new Fuji organic sensor :) But price wouldn't be lowered if it doesn't rise up, but IQ should be slightly better :)

You are correct about the M9, but the body and a 21mm f/2.8 lens will cost you ~£7.7. For most people, it will never be a solution, particularly when you probably need two or three lenses if you plan to do more than just landscape work.

Great use of the "in-camera" HDR function on your new camera. It has got to be the bargin of the year at the price it is selling for and the price will come down a bit over the next few months. Steve

Ah! You have succombed to HDR. I have been saying for ages that it can add a new dimension to photography. The advantage of using Photomatix is that you can select the frames to Merge to HDR and you can decide on how much or how little to influence the "look" that you want. Highly recommend it. If you always shoot bracketed images then you have the option of running with a Single Frame or going down the Tone Mapping route. Looks like the Sony A65 will be "Camera of the Year". I plan to rent a Sony NEX7 for a day (identical Sensor) plus a decent lens. My Holy Grail is a compact camera with a high quality lens that will cover the Focal Lengths 17-40mm. Big heavy equipment is a pain when you are out all day. Ideally, I want the equivalent of the Canon EOS 5D Mk.II in a body the size of a NEX 7, The 5D Mk.II is the best camera I have ever owned followed by the 5D Mk.I.

Hey Guys, Thanks for noticing!

These are done right in Camera - "HDR painting" with my new Sony A65 / CZ 16-80 kit - (I believe 3 shots combined - normal, +.7 and -.7 stops.) I am still experimenting with the settings. These are handheld with HDR set on high. I am going to try lower settings and a tripod when I get a chance. These seem to get many more comments on Facebook than regular shots!

Yes I think it would be by chance that it landed there. They flew out of Mildenhall in the UK typically and flew all over the continent during the Cold War but weren't really set up to be based in Germany. The plane used a special fuel mix that wouldn't normally be available at every base and the security just to house the plane would have to be planned for typically so I'm guessing you're right, they probably had a technical problem that forced them to land there.

The sculpture, of a dancing woman, stands 40 feet tall, weighs 7000 pounds and is ingeniously constructed of triangulated geodesic struts. By day, the dancer’s ‘skin’, made of stainless steal mesh, shimmers in the sun. By night, it alights brilliantly with a complex array of 1000 slowly changing l.e.d. colored lights. Viewers may interact with and manipulate the lighting effects with an iphone application. The dancer’s delicate, graceful form precariously balances on one foot, adding to the astonishing impression of imminent movement and lifelike presence.

Thxs, The inlands of the Algarve (Portugal) are full of little villages with only old people. All the young people went to the cities, looking for a job.

Thank you! Yeah, "hairy" is a good term for that trip;) The hike up to Scout Lookout was relatively easy compared to the last part of the hike where you're scrambling along the dizzying ridge line using the cable guides to help pull you up to Angel's Landing. It definitely took a bit of soul searching before I decided to press on. In the end, the view from on top that day was worth it...just gorgeous, especially with the cloud shadows playing across the scene.

That's a pretty hairy hike up to Angel's Landing! We opted to skip that hike when we were there about 6 weeks ago. I had a heavy pack full of camera gear and didn't think it was a smart idea. Great view though!

Best Technique of Taking Photo by following the subject with shutter time (1/15s). My limit is sharp photo of building, when I stand firmly, with focal 35mm and shutter 1/15s (but I use APS-C). But You did this ultimately sharp front of locomotive, with shutter 1/15, focal 28mm and moving train at least 50 km/h. Very very great Job, I like Your photo much and I admire Your technique :)

Cause the idea is to focus close, wide, and blurred. You can't do that with a macro lens, which will be longer focal and less fast.
Am I right!

I love this photo, and this style of shooting flowerbs and herbs. My compliments!

Very well done. I love storm clouds in general--the color and feel. The addition of a setting sun to give the objects a yellow light, though, adds to the intensity. Gravo.

Just a wonderful portrait with IQ to simply die for! I print many of my images (many people never print anything) and I just know that a large Fine Art Print of this would blow most people away. The Phase One format is all about large prints and this is a stunner. I have seen images on other websites taken with PHASE ONE systems (have a look on the Luminous Landscape) and they often are totally underwhelming. The excuse is that you have to see prints to appreciate the format. Not so, just look at this on a calibrated Monitor to disprove that proposition. Top drawer. Best regards steve

De gustibus non est disputandum.
Forgive me :-) please.
I agree with you and I sometimes use this Dark Room Technique too. By the way talking of technique I didn't negate HDRI as a whole, on principle, but I like HDRI only softly visible. For me the best post processing is practically not visible, definitely not visible.
But I understand, de gustibus... .

Don't get hung up on HDR. Think of it as another Dark Room Technique. If you can't align the frames for what ever reason, then don't use it, otherwise it can produce superior images (and large prints). I posted a Methodology on this site for this technique ~ 1 year ago, but no one showed any interest what's so ever, so I took it down. Most things posted are totally ignored by the Membership. If you want to see how well three frames can be matched in the Tone Mapping process, open this image fully i.e, click on the + sign as well. Many single frames are not as sharp or detailed as this. It really is all about technique. Regards Steve

I work in a lab and see more pictures of flowers and sunsets than I ever wanted to see in life. My overall feeling is that if I never see another picture of a flower I will be happy. This photograph, however, is exquisitely produced. Good composition, perfect color and of course, very crisp detail. It makes me think I'm standing in the garden with you when you shot this.

Thanks Donuss; that's an idea I hadn't thought of yet. I'll give it a try, though I wanted to portray the sandy hazy atmosphere (it was quite warm as well), and the apparent lack of humans, first and foremost.

Thanks Rick. The Zeiss 21mm with the Canon EOS 5D Mk.I is a killer combination. It produces sharper images straight out of the camera. It may be that the 12.8 Megapixel sensor has a less severe Anti-aliasing filter in front of it VS the Mk.II. Certainly an easier camera to use. I wish the Manufactures would drop the Anti-aliasing filter altogether. Steve

God's Country! As someone living in England, I have to put my hand up and say that the South of France is just someting else. Somewhere that ought to be put on everyone's "Bucket List". Culture, class, food, light, architecture (what have I forgotten?). Don't leave it too long but it is not cheap. Forget the cheaper imatations. The light was so extreme that this is a two frame Tone Mapped image.

Great magic of defocus :) Very nice colours and contrast between saturation of right nearest part of picture and left farthest focal plane..I am disturbed a little about defocus of crucifix. In first look it seams to be unexpected. But without it, it would become like a regular portrait of crucifix with defocused background. In the presented way, defocus joins (with gradient) first and 2nd plane. I think it is a great picture without doubt...

Ha ha! Gauging by the weight this should now be my #1 bike... That Fuji sounds good as well. I forgot the name of the pro team that rides them. Do you like it?

I'm watching the Tour now and have seen many favorites crash out, in terrain I know to be very difficult; up and down all day on narrow bumpy roads.

I like David Millar but he usually gives up on GC pretty soon. I think Klöden wil turn out to the dark horse in this race; Geraint Thomas seems to doing well too, after his teamleader Wiggins crashed out of the race. Noone mentions Klöden but he's still up there and he doesn't crash. He climbs well and he time trials well. We'll see...

I was in a quander whether this should become my #1 bike, as the components come form my #2 training bike. I ended up inbetween I guess.

O.K. sorry I did not work very precise, because I was dissturbed by group of people. For this very large church portal I should be in the middle of the portal to avoid any distortion. It was a kind of difficult in this situation.

The 18mm Distagon has no cushion distortion, so it might be the construction of this very old church.

I've decided to post this image to show more this interesting very old structures of the church entrance portal, and less of an architecture perfect distortion arrangement.

But critics are always welcome!

LOL hadn't thought of that! It's actually a statue of Athena. It resides in a replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, TN. There is a pic of the Parthenon here as well. One of the many things to see in Nashville if you ever get over that way. The statue is huge and the 21mm lens just accentuates that I think.

Many thanks Ricardson. I was still learning (I'm a slow learner :-) ) about WB (and doF...) at that time, so this image, as much as I like it, could look different and maybe better. I'm satisfied with the capture of that moment though. And apparently LR3 doesn't allow to develop this (old) image all over...

Looks good. Yes, 21 Megapixels is very useful and is a big step up from the original 5D. Hand on heart, I shoot most of my images off a tripod as 3 or 5 frames so that I have the option of using a Single Frame or a Tone Mapped version. My interests are mostly architecture and landscape and as I print many of my images, I am looking for maximum sharpness right out into the corners of an image and you cannot get this at f/1.4. from pretty much any lens (they all tend to do a decent job wide open, but only in the centre of the field). I guess this lens is more important for reportage where poor light is the order of the day and one is only looking for decent sharpness dead centre field. Horses for courses? Steve

Philippe,

Thanks for shooting at 1.4 - I've been wondering why anyone would buy a very expensive, very heavy 1.4 lens and then never shoot it @ 1.4. I can see that it is very sharp - even wide open. Congratulations!

Yannaann, seems to me you are obsessed with this picture, which means that deep insiede you are attracted by it. And you sound to be a self-righteous guy, dispensing moral judgements. And also it seem very evident you know nothing about Photography, confusing what your personal liking with general statements.
Auschwitz...i don't know your age, and certainly i myself was born much after those horrors...well, i have never seen a picture of a woman (survived) in that horror place who still had such full breasts, and definitely not one where they where smiling/mocking. This whole serie was intended t be an open homage to Helmut Newton's Big Nudes, if you know what i'm talking about.
It is evident, once more, that one always sees what he already has in its mind.
Cheers from sunny Italy.

It reminds me Auschwitz ... A good photographer can make any woman beautiful ... and can disfigure even a good model ... The most wonderful part of this picture is a reflection in the glasses ... and maybe the blurring of the legs as a hint to some a secret ... although this model has neither secrets, no charm ... maybe the current men, satiated with beautiful models, prefer perversion...

Thank you very much, guys. I've retooled this one a bit, so I'll have to re-up it (is this possible, ZM?).

ZM: The 17-35 is a big, bulky beast of a lens, but they're a huge pleasure to use. I bought mine second hand already converted to EOS mount by Bo-Ming. These would be perfect lenses if it weren't for their resolution degradation ellipse. Not that it is a deal-breaker or anything.

Thank you all for commenting.

alessandro - This is a Hand-Held Single Frame Capture. All my RAW conversions are made with DxO Optics Pro 6 ELITE software. The latest version of this software offers the user the ability to process a single file as a Single Shot HDR. As far as I remember, this was the option that I used, but I processed this quite a few months ago so would not like to sware to it. I am totally committed to Dxo and if you have never used it then you should try it. It is built around Camera and Lens Plug-In's which automatically correct an image for Lens Distortions. It will produce better RAW conversions straight out of the software VS Adobe Lightroom or Adobe CS5. It is possible to mimic this "Out of the Box" conversion by puting up the DxO File and then working on a parallel image in CS5 or Lightroom, but why bother when DxO does it for you? The other Feature that sold DxO to me two years ago was the ability to correct Horizontal and Vertical Geometry. It is a breeze! I would be amazed if you tried the software and did not like it.

The image was taken south of the Bonn area, were German troops and materials got concentrated and attacked by Allied aircraft to stop the German troops ready for the Ardennes Offensive (also called Rundstedt offensive). It was the last attempt of Nazi Germany of World War II to destroy the moving Western Allied forces. End of the Battle of the Bulge - 67.675 wounded or dead German soldiers, and 87.559 wounded or dead American soldiers. This images is just a very small part of this World War II desaster 67 years ago.

Unfortunately, the whole world has not learned from it, up to date!

The sun was almost gone at this point, so I tried a 15 sec. exposure, again using only a tabletop tripod braced against a sign. 15 seconds is a very long time!

I usually have clear favorites from a series, but I couldn't decide which of the three I liked best. I'd be curious to hear from others which you like best and why.

I packed up my camera and went for a motorcycle ride, to no place in particular. I ended up at Rodeo Beach/Point Bonita, just north of San Francisco. It was a beautiful sunset, but all I had was a tabletop tripod, so I was bracing it against a sign to get these shots. This was 1/125th of a second, so it was no problem, but the last two were 15seconds each!

so, it is deserted for good - a decaying derelict. This should bring it into perspective.

better, - but. shes got a handk coming out of her head, she has bubble snad a fish sticking out of her back and shoulder. and alswo white bubbles comeing out of her head again. I think those things need to be cloned out - or replaced with something not as ovvious, but- stuff coming out of her head is a big no no - and is very distracting.

also with the 2 3 fingers coming out of her right side (our left side while looking at her).. those need to be removed all togheter.. looks like something is grabbing her from behind........ everything else is okay, althoug her hand placement on the lap seems forced.. She should turn her hand out -and have the fingers pointing UP towards the top of the lam shad... (am i making sense?) LOVE THE BLACK AND WHITE!!!!

weird crop.. youneed to brop more aboove at her waist or show the leggs, you can't crop off like that, she looks missing appendages. everything from gher top of the skin starts on the chest to the armas and face is a great start, fine tweaking is need a mit, like putting the elbow closer toghet and furhter away from the face a few in ches to get rid of that weir shados on the right side of her face.

Also, yould have photoshopped the wrinkles in her armmpits, and the neck 'point' jutting out down to her chest. Her face sould be the subject, the falloff subject should be the background - just to tye everything in.

plus you can see the Pins that are holding her dress toether right there on the side... and hair pieces are sticking to her back. again a little distracting.

Great idea - great toughts... just need some major fixing and you could have a killer shot.


again, id crop from the top of the blouse up, since it is just a messy wrinkly shirt with stick pins or safetly pins holding her together. She is a lovely girl thouhg!!!!

(do you mind me tell you this stuff? Thisi s what it is for (for critiquing, right?)

if you want my help - let me know!

Hey Hazman! Haven't crossed paths on FlickR for a while, and here you are! I was featured yesterday ;-)

Great pic - the colour rendering on this is classic 100/2 Zeiss. I'm sure I could pick shots out by this lens amongst others. Even a couple of friends of mine have notice it's 'different' to the norm. Congrats :)
Photo ID 509147

Interesting that it scores so highly - I didn't read the dxo reviews, but in my experience with it, - it's much more versatile than just a makro lens.

I don't buy this 'a lens can be too sharp for portraits' thing often quoted. (Although I do use softer lenses too).

You can't beat this lens for getting up close - love it :)

Great image with wonderful colour rendition and skin tones. It is interesting that this lens has one of the highest DxO Mark's of all the Zeiss ZF offerings tested to date. The Zeiss Distagon T 21mm f/2.8 ZE/Canon EOS 5D Mk.II combination that I use only has an average DxO Mark, which surprises me, but then again, the figures quoted are for an Aperture of f/2.8. The DxO Mark scoring system for one or two of the Canon EF lenses that I already own E.G. the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, are very high and fit the IQ that I know I can expect to get when in combination with the 5D Mk.II. See: (you will have to Copy and Paste the link for it to work)

http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Lens-with-Camera/All-tested-lenses/Carl-Zeiss/Carl-Zeiss-Macro-Planar-2-100mm-ZF2-Nikon

DxO Mark is one of the few sites that I know of that offer a quantitative assessment of lenses and camera body combinations. As such, it is an important source of information VS purely subjective assessments that are on offer from other sources, many of which may be biased in favour of one Manufacteur or other.

Thank you, roofterrace and Zeiss Man. roofterrace, this lens is AF, however, I did take several shots in manual but I am not sure this is one of them. I haven't used a lot of Zeiss lens, but for the price and focal length it's a jewel.

This is just a simple desaturation . I would have in the past with film used a yellow/green or just a yellow for this shot which would separate the skin from the background a little better. I should tweak the color levels a little but still prefer the shot in color.

Thanks for the compliment Akul! Contax RTS III with Zeiss 1.4/85 (I think; can't seem to change the incorrect entry) and Tri-X.

I wasn't too pleased with the development and the scan; will try another lab next time. It needed a lot of work in LR3 pp. Maybe I should add Silver Efex Pro to my workflow.

Oh and the dark streak lhd side is part of the fence I/the camera had to peer through... ;-)

I think side lighting and reflection from building worked like fill light, that also added perceptual sharpness to the image. I think I put f stop between 5.6 -8. I was interested in how much detail this combo will give, and it sure retained a lot. CY28 is also quite a good little lens. Size works well with NEX too.

Happy Holidays JT !

Thank you so much for your comments. NEX is quite a fun little camera. As damage to wallet is relatively small, I just could not resist it. Well, adapter costed 40% of the camera, which is a bit annoying, but now I can play with all Z and F converted lenses!

Hi Donut,

I just got this camera and also an E to Nikon adapter. So far very good. This was taken as JPG, color seems a little strong sometimes, but have not tried Raw yet. It will take a while before I can . Size is great, and I have seen beautiful shots with this comobo, so I just have to learn the character of this cam.

Yes, she is a sweet lovely and natural woman, using very little make-up.

Since many years, I am using for portraits and even for landscape photography, an Carl Zeiss SOFTAR I and II soft filter. The sharpness remains, but the skin tone and structures, getting a special touch. Often tried to be copied, but never get reached. Even the Photoshop cannot do it like an CZ Softar! No. I is for most cases enough. The Softar filters are not cheap, but worth any penny!

The Altar inside the small church at Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, England. This Church is right next to Lydiard House and would have been built for the owner of the house and his Family. It is locked when services are not taking place, to protect it from thieves and vandals (this is the world that we now live in) and I had to get permission and borrow the key to get in. I hope that you like it.

Kysham,

Yes I usually use the white balance adjuster - I try to match the actual color I perceived when taking the shot. I prefer "Natural" color for Flower backgrounds - Sky, grass, dirt etc - however the blue plastic tarp (ugh) was there - so I shot it.

I agree that the lighting is somewhat harsh, but the colors contrasted nicely with the background. A stunning shot. Did you do any white balance correction to give that background that blue color?

But that's a mighty nice shot to show for all your gruel. I love the ZF 2.8/21mm, to my mind, and supported by your beautiful pano, it may be one of the all time great wide angle lenses for the 35mm/FX format (D)SLR, and can hold its own with the Leica and Zeiss rangefinder lenses, no trivial feat.

Stephen,

You have been spoiled by the 21 Distagon with it's endlesss depth of field. The 50 1.4 is a wonderful all purpose lens - also my portrait lens of choice - the colors are spectacular. As far as a landscape lens - I have found I really have to shoot it at f11 or higher. The 35 f2 ZE is my favorite landscape tool - much better depth of field with a reasonable angle of view.

I have had my new Zeiss Planar 1.4/50 ZE for just over a week and a half now and have been putting it through its paces to find its strengths and weaknesses, so to speak. My Workhorse lense was the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM (sold) and then the Zeiss Distagon T 21mm f/2.8 ZE. Both these lenses have enormous DOF at the shorter Focal Lengths. This 50mm Planar has been purchased for use in low light conditions, primarily inside buildings where Tripods are not allowed. I will be using Apertures between f/1.8 and f/5.6. This image shot on my daily walk, shows just how restricted the DOF is with a 50mm Focal Length lense on a Canon EOS 5D Mk.II. Even at f/5.6 the wire infront and just behind the post( point of Focus) is blurring. Stephen

Not a Zeiss lens to be seen. Nikon had the largest presence (D3,D3S, D700). Canon's EOS 5D Mk.II also made a reasonable impact. All Nikon and Canon lenses, but stunning images.

Excellent shot, especially composition-wise. But I cannot understand the EXIF. Why use ISO 1600 and such a fast shutter speed? Also, the shot seems to have a great DOF for such a wide aperture. Could the EXIF simply be wrong?

It took me a while to understand what this might be. thinking this a spice grinder of some sort. Great capture of the fruit in the mid air. Series of circles ( bowl, grinder, fruit, adjacent cotainer) are making a great composition.

I know Rick. I was just thinking if you'd used a larger aperture (I admit; I'm a big fan of that approach) you'd have blurred out the rather distracting immediate background, and made the subject stand out more.

the Green 'Mohican Hairstyle' of the Scout Standard-bearer has caused comment in one of our local newspapers-- some Veterans said it 'demeaned the solemnity of the occasion' then the reporter got a quote from a Scout Leader and he said that the young man in question was a 'very nice chap' and had given up his Sunday to go on the parade !

The Romans probably occupied Aquae Sulis shortly after their invasion of Britain in AD 43, attracted by the large natural hot spring which had been a shrine of the Celtic Brythons, dedicated to their goddess, Sulis. This spring was a natural mineral spring found in the valley of the Avon River in Southwest England. The name is Latin for "the waters of Sulis." The Romans identified the goddess with their goddess Minerva and encouraged her worship. The similarities between Minerva and Sulis helped the Celts adapt to Roman culture. The spring was built up into a major Roman Baths complex associated with an adjoining temple. About 130 messages to Sulis scratched onto lead curse tablets (defixiones) have been recovered from the Sacred Spring by archaeologists.[1 They were written in Latin, and usually laid curses upon those whom the writer felt had done them wrong. This collection is the most important found in Britain.

A carving that may represent a mask worn by actors in the theatre. They were made of clay and completely covered the face.

This could have decorated a tomb. It is thought a theatre was situated near the Temple in the centre of Roman Bath.

There are no records stating where, or when the relief was found.

Head of a woman, with curls at the front of her head and her hair twisted round in a tight bun at the back. This was a hairstyle very popular with ladies in Rome in Flavian times (69-96 A.D.) and shows that Roman fashionable styles came to Britain early in the Roman occupation.

The head could have been fixed on a tomb of a lady.

This is the best known object in the Roman Baths collection and has fascinated scholars and the public since its discovery during the digging of foundations for the Grand Pump Room in 1790.

A missing block was found during excavations beneath the Pump Room in 1982. As a work of art the quality of workmanship is exceptional for Roman Britain and it is now generally recognised that it is probably the work of sculptors from Gaul (now modern France) in the later first century AD. Its discovery confirmed that the Roman site at Bath was unusual and attracted special interest to the site. Many other discoveries since have now confirmed this view.

The fundamental part of the Roman Baths is the sacred spring. Hot water at a temperature of 460°C rises here at the rate of 1,170,000 liters (240,000 gallons) every day and has been doing so for thousands of years. To the ancients, this remarkable phenomenon could only be the work of the gods.

The first shrine at the springs in Bath was built by the Celts, and dedicated to the goddess Sulis. After the Roman invasion, Sulis was identified with the Roman goddess Minerva, but the name Sulis continued to be used. This led to the town's ancient Roman name of Aquae Sulis ("waters of Sulis").

During the Roman occupation of Britain, increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built. The bath complex in Bath was founded in 75 AD. The healing powers of the goddess and the mineral-rich water from the spring attracted visitors from across the Roman Empire.

martin, the ISO was a total screw up on my part. I was in extremely foggy conditions prior to this. Re the aperture, it actually was at f/8, just read incorrectly in EXIF b/c I had the 50 1.4 lens selected in my non-cpu lens. I needed to have as much DOF as possible as I wanted both flowers in focus. you are correct, to get the most out of it you want to stay at/under f/8 at base ISO if possible.

Thanks guys!!

umm Evan what do you mean by great shots?! I normally just point and shoot stuff (except for work-related pictures which takes half an hour to setup for a picture). This picture above here was nasty as the boat captain drove us right into the mist and tried to drown the camera (had a make-shift grocery store plastic bag over the camera with the lens' tip poking out the bag). And then I took the picture right after coming out from there. All I remembered is.... water shot - shutter priority mode, always try to use 1/1500 second or faster, and then click while the captain was quickly cruising away.

Hey you better not say all my lenses are zeiss or i'm going to get audited big time when the wife comes across this thread!! uh oh.

Thanks guys! It seems the "Golden Arches" perspective is a love it or hate it thing (many do not like it, some of them just b/c it is Mc Donalds, :) ) I like it, but just to be safe I took multiple shots with different framing :)

Tell me about it Phil.. It is a Hospital Garage, BTW. If someone was watching the camera feeds, he would see a guy on the parking Garage roof running like a madman from corner to corner with a camera mounted on a tripod, LOL. He would have been "WTF?" because he would not have know that at the same time the sun was going down, the train (in the other picture) was also passing by, visible from the opposing side of the roof, and the madman was trying to capture them all :D

This image is just amazing. It took me a while what it was and realized it was probably crack on piece of ice? High ISO noise? is adding a very nice texture, adding more painterly = or graphite drawing kind of feel. Amazing.

Let's hope that this is not a reflection of our European economy. By the way, see that France and the UK are now "Brothers in Arms". Long overdue. Shame it is not a pan European Agreement, but I guess that it would be transfixed with indecision should a crisis develop. All Chiefs and No Indians is the expression I think. Oh, great IQ.Stephen

Thanks Phillipe. I have been evaluating ACR 6.2 as implemented in Adobe Photoshop CS5 VS DxO Optics Pro Vs.6.2.0 ELITE over the last two days. This is one of the images that I have been using for the evaluation as it is razor sharp, lots of detail and areas of contrast for noise to get into. This is a B&W Conversion which has made a very special print. The Zeiss Glass just never ceases to amaze me. All this from a single 3.2 second exposure!

thanks, doug and Ashwin,
I used the 21mm C-Biogon a lot - before I got the 18mm Super Elmar :-)
for B&W the 21mm C-Biogon is ok. and for architecture it is ideal, as it has NO distortion!
BUT: the color shift is hardly compensated by Cornerfix, and I read somewhere, that Zeiss does not recomend it for the M9 -
but, as said, for B&W it is great value for money!

Another taken in the local Churchyard as I was out with my Hasselblad to finish up some film -- I saw the effect of the aircraft vapour trails in the sky and held a Red filter over the Zeiss CFE 80mm f2.8 Planar. Film was 2006 dated Ilford Delta 400 I rated at 250 ASA and Home-processed in D76 1+1.

out in my town of Brentwood in Deepest Essex, I saw the effect of aircraft vapour trails in the sky over the churchyard -- I had my 2002 Hasselblad 501CM to finish up some film, so I quickly held a Red filter over the lens.

Thanks Cliff. It was only after shooting this frame that I noticed the shadow of the bridge below me so I recomposed the image. I was intending to just delete this image when I got home but was struck immediately with the "potential" to generate something different from the normal. The Red Filter produced an extreme image, so to speak, but I quite like it. It is much more interesting to me. If we are not careful, then 99% of our images can end up as "Snap Shots". At 63, I still want to attempt to experiment. Life is too short to do the same thing over and over. Stephen

How about ctrl+t , right click and perspective and then ctrl+t right click and distortion. We tend to like man-made objects being square and level. A little bit of tilting is most of the time anoying, but not always.

Nice picture for my idea you was stay a littel to near the building so you have to hold the camera a littel up and so the lines from the houses fall behind.
with your camera you have space to cut latter the image.

Hi, the image shows the Hundertwasser apartment building complex called "Waldspirale" in Darmstadt/Germany, designed by the famous Austrian artist Friedrich Hundertwasser. Compared to much older historical buildings, this building needs after 20 years or so, unfortunately, an fresh coat of colors which you cannot see in this picture.

Google is your best friend, if you want to know more about the famous Austrian artist Friedrich Hundertwasser.

There's certainly a feeling of depth here, of being able to move into the scene. My first thought was of familiarity, not this specific spot, but that it could be somewhere in the western slopes of the Cascade Range in the NW USA. Boyhood home, though I now live in drier country. :)

Yes, an natural model using very little make-up. I've used the actual ROLLEI Digibase CR 200 Pro slide film 120, which is the successor of the former AGFACHROME RSX 200, now pured on a polyester base. For me, an excellent slide film for landscape, portraits etc. with very natural colors. The film 35mm and 120, can be ordered through Freestyle and directly from MACODIRECT, Germany.

Saw this on a wall by the River Stort, Herts./Essex border (UK) -- there was a metal mesh fence in front but by using my 180mm lens at a wide aperture I put it out of focus and it vanished ! I used my A24 back loaded with 2003 dated Kodak Portra 400 VC film size 220 I got off e-bay cheap and downrated it as it was outdated, and processed it myself in C41 -- I did a 'saturation' increase on the scan of the negative.

Phillipe,

That is a Chevrolet SSR - "Sport Retro" Pickup truck. 4700 lbs of not so sporty driving machine. A total bungling of Retro styling combined with a heavyweight, gas guzzling V8 drivetrain. I think they started making them in 2003 - fortunately no one ever bought one! An embarrasing moment in American Automobile History.

Thanks, Stephen. It is the Chateau (castle) de Saint Germain en Laye, a royal castle in the vicinity of Paris. It is, incidentally, where James II of England and James VII of Scotland died in exile after the Jacobite episode.
It was built and then modified in many stages, and, lastly, at the hands of restorer Viollet-le-Duc, who believed not only in restoring old buildings, but also in "improving" them... hence the very mixed style.

Thank you, I felt the same way about the conji on the pillars as well. I was also glad this particular section of the shrine had a richer shade of red as well. Other portions appear to be quite faded although the famous Steve McCurry shot in 2007 was actually shot in the pale orange color section. Steve McCurry is an absolute genius and I know he loves the kyoto area.

Nash Point, between Barry and Porthcawl on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast has two lighthouse towers. These were built in 1832 and were sited exactly 1000 feet apart being originally used to assist navigators to avoid the Nash Sandbank, a notorious shipping hazard. The lower west light was later dismantled leaving just the tower; the east light remains in use. The lighthouse was the last one to be manned in Wales, being automated in 1998.

I started with actresses (and some actors) from the local theater and burlesque scenes. Then I joined Model Mayhem, which is a great place to meet women (or men) interested in modeling, makeup, etc.
The more of them that I work with, the easier it is to find others. I also find them through Facebook. Many of my subjects are friends of other people I've shot.

Very much a sign of wealth and status in the 18th Century, anyone who was someone had to have an Ice House. The bigger the better. This one is deep. In the winter, ice was broken up on the frozen lake and transported to the Ice House. Wrapped in hay etc. it could last for two years. Used to make chilled deserts etc. for the Master and his Guests.

According to some, “the word 'grotto’ comes from the Greek word kruptos, meaning hidden. It was believed that a union between the Sky God and the Earth Mother created the world, pietas and furor. Therefore being in touch with the Earth Mother was best achieved in caves with a spring and a nymph of that spring, who was also a divine inspiration. Such places grew into shrines.

Shot as three RAW Frames bracketed around +1EV, +/-2EV. Longest exposure was 30seconds. No extra noise reduction applied.

The Stourton family, the Barons of Stourton, had lived in the Stourhead estate for 700 years[citation needed when they sold it to Henry Hoare I, son of wealthy banker Sir Richard Hoare in 1717. The original manor house was demolished and a new house, one of the first of its kind, was designed by Colen Campbell and built by Nathaniel Ireson between 1720 and 1724. Over the next 200 years the Hoare family collected many heirlooms, including a large library and art collection.

Traditionally, the earliest Christian sanctuary in Britain. Glastonbury Abbey was a rich and powerful monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Since at least the 12th century the Glastonbury area was frequently associated with the legend of King Arthur, a connection promoted by medieval monks who asserted that Glastonbury was Avalon. History records it as standing in 600. Really mythical, powerful feel to this whole area. Not to be missed. Orange Filter.

Apologies Phillipe. Of course you are correct. The "Men from the North" did move down from the Scandinavian regions of what are today modern Norway and Denmark and occupy what came to be known as Normandy. What I should have said was that the major political and cultural influence shifted from the North of Europe to the lands to the South East of England. Stephen

Not that I want to correct you, Stephen, but I am surprised when you write of "the reduction of Scandinavian influence". Normandy was given to the Viking some 130 years before, hence its name: "North men". Thus, I am sure, still quite strong Scandinavian influence 130 years later with William

It also had important consequences for the rest of the British Isles, paving the way for further Norman conquests in Wales and Ireland, and the extensive penetration of the aristocracy of Scotland by Norman and other French-speaking families, with the accompanying spread of continental institutions and cultural influences.

By bringing England under the control of rulers originating in France, the Norman conquest linked the country more closely with continental Europe, lessened Scandinavian influence, and also set the stage for a rivalry with France that would continue intermittently for many centuries.

The Norman conquest was a pivotal event in English history. It largely removed the native ruling class, replacing it with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy, and clerical hierarchy. This, in turn, brought about a transformation of the English language and the culture of England in a new era often referred to as Norman England.

The Norman conquest of England began on 28 September 1066 with the invasion of the Kingdom of England by the troops of William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (in Northern France adjacent to the English Channel) and their victory at the Battle of Hastings (on the other side of the Channel in Southeast England) on 14 October 1066 over King Harold II of England.

Image of the tomb of Sir Walter de Dunstanville inside the church of St Andrew's, Castle Combe, Wiltshire, England.

Symbolism: Feet on Lion, hand on Brawn Sword, indicates he died in battle. Legs crossed at knees indicates he went on two Crusades. Armour - Bristol chain mail.

The surname Dunstanville would have been Norman.

My photography is almost 99% Landscapes and Architecture. I shoot 99.9% of my images from a tripod and almost all of them are shot as Bracketted images to allow me the flexibility to Tone Map if I so desire. Performance at very, very high ISO's E.G. 12,600, is academic. ISO 1600 is the most that I could ever conceive needing and these days I am using ISO 50. What I wanted from Canon was a 16 Megapixel FF body, Live View, top IQ ISO performance to 1600 and 10 Frames per Second. Stephen

I like the texture of her skin. Most photographers hide texture with lighting techniques. That may be necessary with some people who don't have nice skin. Still, I like that you bring out the texture of her skin. I see the same in other photos you've posted here of other models. It makes the image, the woman more real. It makes the photo more sensual. I don't mean sexual. Instead, I mean sensual in that it makes the viewer call upon their sense of touch: one can almost touch and feel her face. Bravo.

I got rid of the D700 a while back when I switched to Sony. However, I had a handful of Zeiss glass and with the lack of good primes coming out in ZA I decided to get back on board. So I bought a D3s and D3x with a few Nikon Lenses. By the way, I have never seen a camera perform in low light like the D3s. have a look at these [url]http://www.nikonimages.com/showgallery.php?membercollection=224

Fascinating places you are showing us. Digital solves a number of problems with the 35mm ("miniature") format. Medium and large format cameras with movements correct perspective through adjustments and allow greater depth of field in various situations. There have been some good 28mm and 35mm Perspective Control lenses offered for 35mm over the years. My old Haselblad SWC/M with the CZ 38mm Biogon lens soldiers on for architecturals... Cliff

For the few of those interested in technical aspects associated with photography, this image threw up a few problems. The camera is tipped upwards and this created many issues with the Geometry. Keystoning was not too bad, but then it was apparent that the windows on the ground floor were "bulging" i.e. Barrel Distortion. This had to be corrected in stages with DxO software and it proved to be a juggling act.

Lacock Village is entirely owned by the National Trust. It is as near to a perfectly preserved Medieval English village as you are likely to see. Stunning architecture with a number of styles dating back to the 13th century. If you ever visit England and are interested in architecture and history, do not miss this. Along with Castle Combe, it is very close to Bath. It has been used many times by the BBC as a Set for Period Dramas.

A tithe barn was a type of barn used in much of northern Europe in the Middle Ages for storing the tithes - a tenth of the farm's produce which had to be given to the church. Tithe barns would usually have been barns often associated with the village church or rectory, to which independent farmers took their tithes. This barn sits in Lacock Village which is entirely owned by the National Trust. No building in the village is more recent than the 18 th century and many are two or three hundred years older.

Once a centre for cloth-weaving, the village lies in a hollow and is approached through a deep valley, shaded by tall trees. The houses and cottages, church and 15th century market cross are all of mellow, honey-coloured Cotswold Stone. The roofs are pitched steeply to allow rain and snow to drain off the porous stone tiles. The cottages on the right of the Bybrook are all 17 th century. Castle Combe was chosen in 1962 as the prettiest village in England and was used as a set in the film Dr Doolittle.

Hi Gary,

like this one, Rick; philber makes a good point. personally, I try to avoid horizen lines right in the middle unless there is good reason in the overall composition. you could try cutting a lot of sky to emphasize the horizontal and panorama. the rows the farmer is cutting make a dramatic horizontal effect IMO. always wanted to visit Japan and your shots add to the interest. cliff

This is a wonderful image and one of the best I have seen on this or any other website. The details on the hands are superb as is the shadows, highlights and contrast. The spinning motion completes it. Very very nice! The 85 and 100 macro lenses sure are fantastic pieces of equipment, but it takes a great photographer to take an image like this one. Well done.

This is from one shot and as far as I remember I used a 0.6 GND here. The shadows look so rich in detail because the valley is too wide there and you have a lot of bounce light going on. Besides that the sky still was quite bright and ambient light was still manageable.
I never noticed any huge problems with the dynamic range when I go down to ISO 50. Maybe I should investigate this a little more. The 5DMII still has a very good DR.

This is a very nice shot. I like the light.

Did you use any filters to balance the brighter sky and the shadowed lower areas of the mountain? Or is this multiple images merged together?

I've seen some of your other work and I'm surprised at the amount of detail you are getting in the shadow areas, especially since you seem to like to use ISO 50 which has more limited dynamic range compared to ISO 100 OR 200.

Great shot! I love the looming clouds and wonderful foreground. I'd use iso 50 as well if I could I hear you gain just a little more sharpness and saturation levels improve as well in post processing. I love shooting Velvia 50 slides with my F100. My D700 only goes down to 100 unfortunately.

Andreas: That's the exact switch I made, and I've only 'regretted' it once--when shooting in Arches National Park in Utah in a snow/hail/rain/thunder/lightning storm. The weather sealed nature of the 17-40 would have been nice, and I wasn't sure that the Zeiss would take the weather so nicely.

nice work. church interiors having vast spaces with variable lighting/low light are a real challenge indeed. the light and color here work well. no tripod allowed is yet another challenge but these seem quite sharp.

Love it. A very, very useful bit of software is Neat Image Pro. All three of these images passed through it will pop even more. I have sort of decided to quit posting Techniques & Tips, as their is no interest on this site. As an experiment, if you want to send me a 3-4 Mb File of any of these images, I will post process them with Neat Image Pro and send them back for comparison. If you decide to give it a go, my e-mail address is bajanexile@aol.com. Best regards Stephen

This image is an A3 Crop of the original, so a tiny bit of the left hand side of the frame has been lost. Just so much detail in the B&W conversion. Pleased with it, as it was windy and I nearly did not bother to take any pictures. The Marlborough Downs are almost treeless and it is very exposed. You can get what feels like the four seasons in one morning. I always take a fleece.

Just printed this and it looks good and will be better once framed.

I shot this probably no more than a foot from the ears of wheat on the right hand side. I set the focus here using Live View. Really windy up there today so I used ISO 400, f/11 and 1/1000 sec. to attempt to keep control. The B&W certainly brings up a lot of detail.

One and sometimes two or more Combine Harvesters take the crop down. They have airconditioned cabs plus all mod cons and are equiped with very powerful lights which means that they can harvest the crop in the dark if necessary. The grain is seperated from the stalks and these are ejected out of the back of the harvester. The stored grain is periodically transferred to a tractor/trailer which travels alonside during the transfer process.

Can you post the same pic without HDR? I am asking because it is very pretty but looks unnatural and I wanted to compare it to one single old fashioned exposure.

The problem is that this place, like the vast majority of other public places in France does not allow the use of tripods, for safety reasons. How is HDR doable without a tripod?
Thanks for the positive comments. They are much appreciated, coming from a man like you who knows how to get the most out of these great halls.

I use a shiny (not the supercheap black one but neither the luxury ones that come at silly prices) M42 to EOS adapter from Ebay, it focuses to infinity. I also have ZF lenses with ZF to EOS adapter and they focus to infinity. ZSs have a little lever to open and close the iris with a flick, which can be handy for focussing if you have no focus shift issues. The Planar 1,4/50 has them so the lever is not too useful.

Just a lovely image Stephen. I think the 21/2.8 is such a wonderful lens, easily my current favorite optic. Excellent tonal range and discrimination for digital B&W, did you shoot as monochrome in camera or convert an RGB file during post-processing? Either way very impressive.
Best,

I have started using ISO 50 more often, simply because theoretically IQ ought to be better at the lower ISO setting and one might expect lower Digital Noise as well. I suppose I should check out the theory by shooting a high contrast image at ISO 50 and then again at ISO 100 and then looking for differences in the darker areas of the image where one might expect to see the effects of noise. I will do this and post the images or let you know the findings. Stephen

Interesting image but I think that the White Balance could advantageously be altered by reprocessing the RAW Frame again. I personally think that it needs to be taken down to about 4800K.

The lens mount is a little tricky to mount. The adapter is quite smooth. Only that you need to get the alignment right. Takes practice.

Hi Cliff, it's not so unwieldy as to be a problem. It focuses fast and paired with the 110, makes for a formidable combo. Sometimes, I go out with 2 bodies and a lens on each.

I bought the G Sonnar 90/2.8 lens and was waiting to buy a camera to mount it!! I finally settled on the GF1 and had to wait for 2 long months for my visit to Boston. This was one of the first shots captured on a muggy evening in Doha of my daughter. The temperature was a sweltering 40C at 5PM!! That is summer in the Qatar.

The 2x crop factor makes this lens a telephoto. The quality is simply out of the world. I then found a Planar 45/2 online and promptly bought it. It is now always on my GF1.

Thank you very much. I think the unusual look is a fortuitous combination of a great shooting location, the broken cloud formation, city smog, and Velvia 50 resulting in enhancment of the reflected color of the sun below the horizon. Of course credit should also go to the marvellous Zeiss optics of the SL66.

Thanks for viewing and your feedback JT and Andrea. It is really appreciated. JT: I retire three years ago this month, so I am no longer tied to the weekends. I visit this type of location mid-week when everyone else is at work. I still have to set up the camera and sometimes wait 20 minutes for a break in the traffic. People would detract from an image like this. One's eye is immediately drawn to them VS the architecture that you want to show off. Best regards Stephen

The Bath Assembly Rooms, designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769, are a set of elegant assembly rooms located in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath in England. The Assembly Rooms formed the hub of fashionable Georgian society in the city. Citizens would gather in the rooms in the evening for balls and other public functions, or simply to play cards.

This was a strobist exercise, with 2 Sony HVL-F58AM flashes triggered wirelessly from a Sony HVL-F20AM flash mounted on the A850. Aperture was intentionally kept wide open to give some background blurring, while a high shutter speed was used to darkened the background, relying on the flashes more for the lighting.

Steve,

I think corrected version is better.Majority of us nowadays is accustomed to use cameras without perspective control,so sometimes pictures straighten up digitally later on may look "strange".

I remember quite well composing shifted images on mate screen of my large format Linhof Technika IV.They seemed to look bizarre at first but this is just how day look after shifting (or horizontal perspective in Photoshop ect. ect.) is done.

There was originally a 2 storey Anglo Saxon church on this site of which an 11th century nave and 2 windows survive. It was altered in the 12th century by the Normans who added aisles. There is a chancel and arch of the 13th century while wider aisles and the tower were built in the 15th century.

The rood screen (also choir screen or chancel screen) is a common feature in late medieval church architecture.

The 18mm is my bread & butter lens when doing "real estate photography", The funny thing is that I've gotten so accustomed to it that it is my standard lens for everything apart from handheld nightshots and telephoto work. My standard "telephoto lens" is the planar 50/1.4 which works like the "Imagon" between 1,4 and 2,0 and is ordinaray good lens from 2.8.

The Bath Assembly Rooms, designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769, are a set of elegant assembly rooms located in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath in England. The Assembly Rooms formed the hub of fashionable Georgian society in the city. Citizens would gather in the rooms in the evening for balls and other public functions, or simply to play cards.

Hi - Thanks! Film is Fuji NPZ 800. Being a bit generous with exposure gives a little more color richness, a touch more shadow detail, smoother appearing grain, and a safety margin against underexposure... without blocking up the highlights.

Actually, it's my habit with any C-41 film to set the ISO dial two clicks slower than box speed.

SS Great Britain was an advanced passenger steamship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company. One of the most interesting features of Brunel's design for SS Great Britain was the "balanced" rudder. This was much less effort for the ship's crew to handle when steering the ship. A modern rudder works in exactly the same way as Brunel's balanced rudder.

This has been a place of Christian worship continuously for over 1300 years, since Osric, an Anglo-Saxon prince, founded a religious house here in 678-9 AD. Little is known for certain about the communities which worshipped here or the buildings they used over the next 400 years although it is believed that the Benedictine Rule was introduced here early in the 11th century. The foundations of the present church were laid by Abbot Serlo (1072–1104), later to become the first Dean of Exeter.

Glad to have sparked a pleasant memory or two! I got mine 4 years ago for $155 from a RangeFinderForum member in New York and had it rebuilt by Camera Care for $190, including a new meter cell. That service also included a CLA for the lens, which was $152 from a seller in Kerala India. I don't use the kit very much, but it's fun when I do. :)

lulu, strong image, beautiful model.
gnatsum, I have a 50mm (f/2 Pancolor "Zebra")) for my VX1000 and it is also sticky. Typical problem and a tech can clean and lube it. I bought the body because I wanted to use the Flek 20mm. Needs some work on the focal plane shutter at the moment, another typical problem a tech can fix. The M42 mount lulu is using is not the same as the Exakta mount.

Your influence, Stephen. I had posted some time ago a color version but on reflection decided it is much more effective this way. Your comment to philber about his shot of the white building with the orange stripe, and his change to monochrome as a second example of the image, got me to thinking...I looked at the software you recommend but NIK seems to be still working on the 64 bit version so I will have to wait a little while, chomping at the bit.

I have two different adapters.
One is just a ring M42-Minolta Mount (Alpha). It's pretty thick and can cause problems with focusing at infinity.
The other is really thin and it's got a chip installed. This chip enables focus confirmation in the viewfinder. It works fine unless you stop down more than f5,6.

That's a shame. Mine is luckily in perfect condition.
I don't know how stuff works in Canada, but here, in Poland, there's a coupla people who can make a lens this old work like it's brand new. It usually needs some cleaning, oiling and calibration. It might be worth trying to look around your area.

Bath Abbey is the stunning gothic church in the middle of Bath. Work started on a Norman cathedral in the 11th century when the abbey was elevated to cathedral status. It took until 1156 to complete and further rebuilding began in 1500 after much of the building had fallen into ruin. It was finally completed in 1611. There has been a church on the site from 757 AD.

Bath Abbey is the stunning gothic church in the middle of Bath. Work started on a Norman cathedral in the 11th century when the abbey was elevated to cathedral status. It took until 1156 to complete and further rebuilding began in 1500 after much of the building had fallen into ruin. It was finally completed in 1611. There has been a church on the site from 757 AD. Image is of the early 16th century ceiling designed by the Vertue brothers with restored and repainted heraldic shields.

Thanks Rick. I went across to Bath to shoot the interior of the Assembly Rooms but when I got there, it had been rented out for some sort of National Exhibition, so photography was out. It is cared for by our National Trust and costs an absolute fortune to upkeep, so I cannot blame them for tying to get some money in. Without the National Trust, most of our outstanding historical buildings would simply fall into disrepair. Stephen

Thanks Cliff. We all need to have positive input to our site if it is to become an interesting and informative place to visit. Silence is not golden in this case and lack of commitment and feedback will eventually kill it. No, we do not want a forum on whether a Canon EOS 5D MkII is better than a Nikon D700 or visa versa. We need an involved membership. Best regards Stephen

Architects John Wood the Elder and his son John Wood the Younger were responsible for some of the most iconic architecture of Bath. The Royal Crescent is actually thirty residential houses that was built between 1767 and 1774. It is one of the best examples of Georgian architecture in the country. All the houses are identical with 114 ionic columns to the front.

The 18th-century Pulteney Bridge by Robert Adams is one of only four bridges lined with shops in the world, but Robert Adam's creation has more than novelty value. His graceful composition is one of the unqualified successes of English Palladianism and provides the perfect integrating link between two halves of a Palladian city.

This series of Winter Photos was taken on my 1972 Pentacon Six made in East Germany by Carl Zeiss Pentacon and the lens is the 80mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar. I used outdated Ilford FP4 220 size, home-processed in a home-made developer Formula PH35. Grad Yellow Filter used on most. This one I did a 20x16" Exhibition print and it got some awards at my Camera Club.

thanks for viewing -- well, I never worry what people say about my photos- I don't get all annoyed (unlike MANY on Photo Forums ! ) as I have been in Camera Clubs since 1951 and lots of Judges have commented good and bad ! This photo was taken on my first 'Foreign Trip'with the newly-bought Hasselblad and I had only one lens then the 80mm CFE Planar so I needed a wider angle of view,and also camera was balanced on a rail,as I got a long shutter speed so not the BEST Composition !

Trying to be constructive here, why this particular Crop? The image is a bit "unbalanced" with a statue on the right side of the altar, but nothing on the left. It might have also been worth includind the top of the altar rather than just the tops of the candle holders. Hope this makes sense. This is meant to be helpful not just to be negative.

The Colour Master (derived from three RAW frames Tone Mapped with Photomatix software) which is a 16-Bit TIFF File, is 182 MB's. This is Tack sharp with superb resolution and detail and could be printed as a very large poster. The Downsized Web Version to meet the 750 Kb maximum file size is just is not nearly as sharp or as detailed as the B&W conversion. The loss in IQ of the Colour Version is large. Stephen

The higher ISO and fast shutter speed was due to the shot being hand held at knee level. I had to run out between the waves and the sand was too soft for a tripod. Live View used for composition. This shot was taken in Jan. 2010. When I returned a few months later for a low tide, sunrise shot at the same location, I found a large expanse of rocks & tide pools. The seaweed in the above image is tethered to rocky tide pools which are covered with sand much of the year.

Built between 1220 and 1258, with few later additions, this cathedral remains a pure example of one architectural style - Early English Gothic. Bishop Herbert Poore planned the cathedral in the early 13 th century, but died before seeing his plans realised; his brother Richard, who succeeded him as bishop founded the new cathedral in 1220.

This was taken in 1985 - in the days when Polaroid cameras were cheap and film readily available. If anyone indicated that some recompense might be appreciated I took a shot with the Polaroid camera and gave it to the person concerned. It always did the trick.

Nice atmosphere to this one but I think that I would have shot the image much closer to the near Sarsen or cropped it tighter. With this size negative, a tighter crop would not be an issue. The Sarsens are what this image is all about and the foreground only detracts. My opinion only. Stephen

Outstanding south porch with its magnificent Norman arch containing carvings depicting Bible stories. . Burial place of King Athelstan (c895-940), the first king of all England. Situated in an attractive and historic hilltop country town.

Thanks mstudios. This Abbey was built with Bath Stone, which has a distinctive yellow colour. HDR was used to handle some of the difficulties of shooting in an essentially dark part of the ceiling, but with strong light coming through the windows on the right hand side of the image. A Yellow Filter was applied to bring up the detail.

Thanks mstudios. The Vaulted Ceiling is a B&W conversion of a three frame HDR image and made with Nik's Silver Efex Pro. In addition, I applied a Yellow Filter to bring up the detail a bit. The Interior was from a Single Frame. I use HDR a lot as a technique.

THE ORIGINAL BUILDING:
A Monastery was first established on the site around 676 by Aldhelm, but the present building dates from the 12th century, and was consecrated about 1180. One of the most notable features surviving from that period is the south porch with its magnificent Norman arch containing carvings depicting Bible stories. There is also a fine vaulted roof to the nave.

Just messing around with some flowers at home.

Here we have the lovely 24-70 f2.8... The lens shows a lot of detail still at f16, though I think I would have a much sharper image had I shot at f8. I just needed more depth of field though...

For reference, the opened rose on the left is pink in real life, and the more closed rose on the right is yellow.

EDIT: also just realised at 70mm this lens needs a focus correction or -5 on the a900

Sadly a lot of my old 'non commercial' film from 'Blad and Contax ended up in storage boxes and nearly every scan I now do from the film needs retouching to remove fungus tracks. I guess It's like a decorator having the worse looking house in the street!

The wall above the archway was originally ornately painted but was white washed over during the Puritan Reformation. Anything that looked vaguely ornate was covered up or smashed. They were considered signs of the Catholic Faith. Catholics had to worship in secret. The penanty for being caught could be your life. This end wall was fairly recently cleaned up to show what is left of the original decoration. Stephen

The penalty for using an Ultra Wideangle Lens is that you do have to apply correction to the Geometry if you want "true" horizontals and verticals. One of the reasons that I settled on DxO Optics Pro 6 ELITE software was the ease of making these corrections. In addition, the RAW conversions are superior to ACR and Canon's bundled software. You should try it. Oh, thanks to merrill and yourself for the feedback. This is what keeps one going in photography. Stephen

Thanks Philber. It has made a stunning large B&W print. I am struggling a bit to find the best technique for downsizing my images for this site. The end results sometimes look a bit blurry and I don't post them. The prints however are tack sharp and punchy. You must have the same issues. Images from Canon EOS 5D Mk.II can stand a lot of extra sharpening in my experience, to look at their best. The combination of this camera body with this Zeiss lens is highly recommended. Stephen

Hi All,

Not really a photographer anymore as I am too busy making other photographer's images into exhibitions. Anyway to get the ball rolling here are three shots from a summer's evening in 1985; reflections of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the windows of the Opera House. Goodness knows why I decided to drag a heavy Hasselblad 500 CM and a monster 40mm Distagon along - at least I kept the weight of film down to a single roll!

In my opinion, Venice brings out exactly what the Planar 50 f:1.4 does best: great detail, colours, 3D, but in a manner where elegance and style come before visible sharpness.

One of the weirdest pictures I've taken so far. That's how it came out of the camera, no postprocessing was done (except contrast).

The shallow depth of field at f1.4 gives that "miniature" look, because the fence is in focus but the structure in the rear isn't.

Stephen, sorry if my comment comes out negative, it is intended with a friendly and constructive intent. I feel that this picture is seriously over-corrected. Perspective is straight but does not look natural. The ground, for example looks distorted rather than horizontal. My guess is that some kind of compromise between the two images would be best. After all, it has to look "right" rather than "straight".
Still, an interesting and enlightening exercise, and a nice shot!

Thanks for looking and commenting Zeiss Man and Rick.

Rick, this image was corrected in DxO Optics Pro 6 ELITE software using their excellent Geometry Tools. You have to shoot the frame(s) with sufficient margin around the subject if you plan to make these corrections as you can loose a significant % of the frame in the process, not a problem with the 5d Mk.II as the 21 Megapixel sensor allows a high degree of "cropability" without loss of IQ. The Mk.I was more of a problem. Stephen

This is the image by which the present cathedral is best known and is one of its great glories. The magnificent west façade, built between 1209 and 1250, is 100 feet high and 150 feet wide - exactly twice the width of the Nave which it terminates. There are niches for more than 500 figure sculptures, most of them larger than lifesize. Wells’ west front is unique in retaining almost 300 of its original medieval statues.

More than simply an historic house and garden, this splendid medieval Palace has been the home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years.

There are 14 acres of gardens including the springs from which the city takes its name.

Visitors can also see the Bishop's private Chapel, ruined Great Hall and the Gatehouse with portcullis and drawbridge beside which the famous mute swans ring a bell for food.

Stephen, the spires are very tall indeed. Including them fully would have been more "faithful", but would have provided a much smaller and more distant picture, without the profusion and complexity which I wanted to show. Besides, the main spire just wasn't there before the restoration/embellishment of the late XIXth century, when Viollet le Duc believed in not only restoring, but also "improving"...

Any reason for cutting off the tops of the spires? Not 100% convinced about the White Balance, but I have not seen the building in the flesh. Looks more the colour of concrete than stone as it stands. If this was shot as a RAW Frame then you might look at "warming" it up a fraction. As a file for B&W conversion this is not as important. Obviously if you shoot JPEG's then you are a bit stuck. Stephen

Nice composition and sharpness to this image. Might make a great B&W conversion as well. Printed large, this would be impressive. I personally would use the Clone Tool in Photoshop to remove tiny bit of spire showing 1/4 way down the frame on the left hand side. This might spoil the print. Stephen

This is my first post here, I just received my sony Zeiss 24-70 f2.8, it works very well on my a900, and absolutely keeps up with 24 megapixels. My copy has issues at 70mm and only sharpens up around f4-5.6, probably needs some calibration...Nevertheless, it doesn't inhibit creativity.

I use Photoshop CS4 to process all my photos.

I have many techniques for turning a photo into b&w, but for this one I used a very simple one: I started with a basic channel mixer b&w conversion and I dodged and burned all the details. Sometimes I abuse these tools (dodge and burn) and I think these are by far my favorites in Photoshop.

I agree, nice image and would agree with zblake re: stray hair. It is all these tiny little details that you have to pay such close attention to if you ever wanted to sell your images. Not trying to teach anyone how to suck eggs, but you must always open an image in Actual Pixels i.e. at 100% and use the Hand Tool to rove around the image. This is exacly what an Agency will do.

I have not really answered your question properly. I am a DxO convert. I stoped using Adobe Camera RAW about 14 months ago. I find that the RAW conversions with DxO are superior even to ACR 5.7, even in Default mode. DxO is excellent at correcting Lens Distortions and for Keystoning. The dedicated camera and lens Plug-In's are possibly the reason why. Can send you a "Get Started" methodology that I have written for others over on flickr. e-mail me at bajanexile@aol.com

Workflow: All images are viewed directly from the CF Card using BreezeBrowser Pro. I examine the images using the Magnifying Tool for sharpness. Selected images are moved to my HD. The rest are binned. RAW conversions are with DxO including adjustments for Exposure, WB and Keystoning. The 16-Bit TIFF's go to Photomatix for Tone Mapping and then to CS3 if necessary. Stephen

This is very good. I would have a terrible time trying to get the proper exposure in snow. No title for the picture? How about Surviving ? Looks like a strong plant. Great shot.

Oops. I posted too soon. I see you have a title now :)

I've had the issue with film scans also. Just strip the metadata from the image and then edit as needed. There are several freeware exif editors available on the interwebz.

I have that problem too. When I get my film scanned at Costco, it shows Noritsu as the camera. It's just the device that captured the digital image. By the way, the viewfinder on the Ikon just rocks!

Oh boy, Leica M9 and Zeiss 35. This is a great combo. not to mention an awesome camera! I had 3 M8's at one time, 2 MP's and one R9 with the DMR. I am now down to Sony and Nikon with Zeiss glass. My only non Zeiss lens right now is the Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS. Anyway, back on subject. There is so much detail in this photo. The combination of Leica and Zeiss really shows here. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for highlighting my photo! Some details:
Hearing reports about an approaching storm with likely lightning, I saw that I might be able to position myself for a shot.
I went to my work to the third floor patio. The large building on the left is Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno. Tripod, 20 sec exposures at a time hoping to get lucky. I shot for 40 minutes.
Also, this image is the in camera merger of two 20 second exposures, with the merger also done in-camera (Nikon D3).

Hey that great. I love using my Sony 850. I mainly use it with the 135. Don't get me wrong. I love th e85 as well. But I just like the shallow depth of field you get with the 135 at close range.

I should have added more details to the description... I used 800 ISO film, with a Yashica FX3 Camera and Zeiss planar 1.4 lens. The image was basically straight out of the camera, with some contrast adjustment.

To tell you the truth I had a hard time deciding on the spot on how to frame this, but I liked so much the girl and settings that I just shot it like that. I really like the reflection of the other car and the people so I don't know how much the photo woul

I like this one the best out of the ones you posted. Have you tried cropping a little just below the door handle? It would give it that medium format look like a 6x6 or something. Regardless, nice tones and picture.
