The flowers in the second pic came out nice, but I especially like the third. Something I noticed while scrolling is that cropping the bottom away to arrive at a square format really changes the feel of it. What do you think?Got up semi-early this morning and took a few pictures out behind the house:
...and some of the last few Pasque flowers of the year:
Both of those are five-shot focus stacks, but especially in the first, I should have stacked more, with focus points closer together.
Edit: Maybe one more for good measure:
Dekie, some very nice shots there! The bokeh on all of these is great. The "human statue" shots show lot of subtle tones, very nice. Nice use of thin DOF on #3.Some portraits with the great combo, a900 / CZ135, on an early summer day in the city.
That will probably print great at postcard size though. It's still a good pic for some uses even if you didn't nail the focus.I definitely need an eyeglass but these ZA lenses are gems of all alpha mount optics.
I have to admit the shallow DOF makes perfect focusing more difficult.
Here is a bad sample
Love the B&W flowers! How was it lit?One more ZA135.
Thanks Pegelli, I'm going to have to thumb through that link! At first I kept wanting to crop your first pic, but it didn't work... You've struck an interesting balance there. The third is intriguing, interesting choice of focus point.Since May 15 was the 135th day of 2011 we did a day 135 on Dyxum. Lots of pics with the CZ135/1.8 and Minolta 135/2.8. However there were also some other interesting lenses used, Ever heard of a Marep 135/3.5 "preset" M39 lens? Well I didn't, but if you look here you can see some examples. Obviously there was also a Takumar and an STF in the mix.
Here's three of my shots, all with the CZ , the only 135 I have, but there's a lot more from many others in the thread linked above:
God forbid! :ROTFL:Ed, very nice... you almost have me convinced to give IDC one more try.
Yep, beautiful!!!Dave, Very well done, excellent focus and lighting. Jerry
