lovely Phillippe - except it reminds me of some shots I've posted recently.

One or two were an homage - but you're obviously in my head and I'm just taking Phillippe pics.

yikes!

Thanks, guys!

Bob - Superb works. #2, 4, 5 stand out to me.

Grenache - Warhol and Rodin-ista are my fabs.

I haven't seen the thread for 3 weeks or so and I missed it a lot. There's a great number of new pictures and some outstanding ones. Well done, guys!

I'd like to share pictures of my vacation in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt early this month captured with only one lens - ZE 50 Planar - and with no use of a tripod. The only drawback of this setup is ISO lifted up to 1600 all the time at night shots. Aperture is between 1.4 to 2.8 except one shot at 7.1. Check EXIF info.
I tried to achieve 3D effect shooting wide open and hope it's there in shots.

Thank you carstenw, zhangyue, mortyb, akul, Ronny, wiseguy010, FrancoisXavier, Grenache, PictureThis!

akul - like the texture and oof softness in #1 here: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/860134/815#11297608 Would have liked to see #2 closed down just a little.
Super Angulon - great portrait and use of the 21/2.8.
Ronny - nice reflections in the train.
Lieutenant Z - Beautiful backlit street scene.
Bob - #1 & #4 are my favorites in your last set, great 3D in #4 with the slightly oof background.
Grenache - great set, both the forest and the beach images, Boy v. world my fav.
AlexDrop - interesting set from the P 50/1.4, like the texture in #8. Maybe a little over sharpened to may taste.

Luka, that middle shot really catches me, very quiet but it awakens memories of similar scenes in me.

Thanks
Great shot luka

Ronny, your dog shot is outstanding. One of the best photos I've seen from the 85mm Zeiss.

Thanks all.

Great BWs!!!

Jim

Cool Egypt shots, ESP the pool ladder and resort shots.

I need to travel more. My image of Egypt is dessert, pollution, and population density, all based on movies rather than reality.

Last is great. It looks pretty "real". I would say even hint of 3D, when you look at it for a moment longer (that tree trunk)

Thanks Mescalamba. It is infact (before anyone says its Zeiss 3D) an exposure blend heavily photoshopped together with the intent to look as real and natural as possible. I had to carefully mask the tree, something I don't normally do as it takes too long. Nice to know its not too obvious, although I'm worried now everyone will say they can tell it isn't sooc
