Hello all,
Thank you for posting some great images on this thread and some really good discussion.
Here's a couple from Calgary last weekend.
All shot with a 5dmk2, No.1 with the ZE 100mm MP the rest with the ZE 35mm f/2

Wonderland is piece of art by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and was recently unveiled at the Bow Tower in the downtown of Calgary.
Device to Root Out Evil is by US artist Dennis Oppenheim and was originally located in Vancouver but was moved to Calgary a few years ago.

Thanks for looking,

Dave

It has been way to busy to post these days. Great to see so many wonderful works here!

1.4/35

Nice work on this page everyone!

Finally got out again to the building demolition and cleanup before refurbishing begins. Some interesting finds. All are 5-shot HDRs processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro. I'm starting to nail down a look that I think I like.

Thanks for the comments.
Smridevan, akul. The 35/1/4 ZE is such a nice lens, I'm sure I'll miss mine one day.
Bob, I like how you didn't overcook the HDR's.

21ZE again:

Beautiful! Italy?

Thanks. Yes, Montalcino.

Very nice shot Jochen.

Hah, I knew it! I was there a few years back, and the landscape was so familiar I bought a 37 Euro bottle of Brunello, the most expensive I had bought up until that time, and it eventually rose to a value of 250 Euro or so, and got a 99/100 from Wine Spectator, but I drank it with the wrong person. Oh well.

Great picture of Italy.

Great shot Luka and Bob
Wow Jochen

Thanks. I've been working on using HDR to maintain a natural look without over cooking. I think I'm close to a starting formula using Nik HDR Efex Pro.

BTW - Outstanding image.

Ronny - Thank you !

Bob - Love that shot with floor cut through. It looks like they are cutting hole through to make atrium ?

Jochen- Superb shot. Very dramatic sky. I can't believe you sold your 1.4 / 35 !!!!! I will miss your amazing shots with it,

Thanks guys!

Carsten, that's nice. It's a shame, but I didn't try any wine during my Tuscany trip. Didn't touch any alcohol because I was driving around all the time.

Luka, I replaced the 35/1.4 with the Sony RX1. I want to travel lighter (RX1 + Fuji X-E1). Also sold the 85P. The 21 and 50P are the only Zeiss lenses I have left now and I'm even thinking about selling those too. Wouldn't make much sense to keep them if I won't take my 5DII with me anymore.
Still thinking it over. Not easy because the Zeiss 21 has always served me so well. It might be my all-time favorite lens. We'll see.

Smridevan and Luka, love your 35 1.4's shots. Here is mine

No evenings on your trip?

None without having to drive. But oh well, another good reason to go back.

That's some view and photo Jochenb!
Excellent scenery R.Young, and a good capture.

More homely stuff (Stockholm)

Jako, stellar Cabo shots. Headed there in a few weeks and excited to see some of what is in store.

RDDave, cool sculpture shots!

JochenB, beautiful hilltop shot.


Some coastal shots with the 35/1.4. How can any one not love this lens?!?!?
