this woman is 6 months pregnant :)





so are the other 2 , long winters up here apparently ;)




they almost dropped their brother , 7 kids, 6 girls and 1 boy ( who is the youngest btw , the dad says once they got a boy they would stop having kids)




and I also shot a few of one of the couples , kind of an ad hoc deal as he was unshaven and dressed in shorts and a dirty T shirt, but I did the best I could




if anyone has any advice/comments/critiques feel free to , I normally am quite confident during PP , but thats because I normally dont get paid so now I'm being overly paranoid as I dont want to deliver mediocre stuff

Hey Rob, I like the one with 7 kids on the beach. Excellent sharpness on everyone's face and the background has a nice blur and tone. Nicely timed moment!

Getting a bit restless at home... so went out to backyard to do some photo hunting... I should really get out more :p



Tried out iso 1600 tonight... I think it's ok, for web, and my focus skill is a whole different problem :D

In a rush... going to Seattle for the weekend in less than half an hour... BUT ONE LAST POST!

Hillary and I went to an interview with an architect (well two architects) yesterday. Their work was fantastic, surprising coming from a two-man (well, one man one woman) team! They were friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. They shared a little with us and we with them. In the end we ended up sort of landing a position helping them out around the office, doing the smaller tasks they haven't had time to do yet. It's nice being able to help while learning a little from them! Hope it lasts :p If anyone is interested in their work... their site is here:

After the interview/work session, we celebrated Hillary's birthday with a few friends who couldn't make it out on her actual birthday. Mariah and Alfred are a cute couple :) They took us to a small party after, in which Alfred engaged in a small "rap battle" which was... kind of really good, and kinda silly. Alfred is surprisingly good at... rap.

Dude, by my count, there are only two men in your photos, yet there are three pregnant women running around. Am I missing something?
hahaha

I hope so unless they need to go on Jerry Springer as the 2 guys are the Father and the Brother :)

Mom + dad and their 7 children! I wasnt joking when I said he wanted to have kids til he had a boy , too bad Matt was kid #7!

The 25mm Biogon was delivered today... Took a few quick shots to make sure it works. Boy, was it sharp. The second image is the crop of the first one showing the top of the tree. The only thing I can complain about the lens is related to the frameline and lens profile. I read that it is best coded as 28mm Elmarit ASPH, but since it brings up the 35mm frameline, the camera will not recognize it. I would have to remember to flip the frameline toggle to 28mm in order for it to register. Then, since Lightroom doesn't allow you to modify the EXIF data easily, that screws up my automatic image border :(
Anyway, the real 28mm Elmarit ASPH is also on its way, so I'll shoot with both for a while and make a decision later. Knowing how lazy I am, the future looks grim for the Biogon, unless it really knocks me off my feet.

No PP:


Crop:


It's gonna be hard to get use to this wide field of view... It's pretty much the entire VF.

Glad you got it, David. It's a great lens. I'm lazy too, thats why even though I have 5 external viewfinders for my lenses for the Leica, I almost never bother with them. The 25 I just figure it fills the viewfinder. 99% of the time, that works well enough.

Looking forward to more from you with that baby!

Robert, Mike and Denny, thank you:)
Robert, the 50 Nocti here is the earlier version f/1.0, about 16 years old. Almost affordable :D
David, great lens the ZM 25! I did use the CV 21/25 external finder and still use it with the 24 Lux. It is small, cheap and works well. Best is that you can see outside the 25 frame line for composing the shot.
