As someone else asked yesterday, your shots are particularly well focused and very sharp. There's a certain crispness to the entire DOF that I don't see very often.
A few more from this morning with the FD 20/2.8 (#2, 3 and 6) FD 35/2 (#5) and FE 55/1.8 (#1, 4). And yes, as evidenced by the last photo...the FD 20 can flare rather spectacularly in the right circumstances.
Ebookman, is the Navaho Bridge only a people bridge or also for cars?
AGeoJo, on one of your comments concerning shooting only in raw you mention that you might process about 50% of your images, hope I understood your comments correctly... so in many instances with a raw photo, do u do no pp ing, SOOC? TIA for your answers, learn so much on this thread.

Hi Joan, all my RAW files are processed in LR and some 50% of those is processed further using Photoshop using Nik plug-ins. FYI, all the B&W images above were processed in both. Feel free to ask any question you may have.

More images from the concept of Hollywood style glamor of yesteryear.
The first image is, well, interesting. We didn't have any cigarette holder in the studio (although we could have rolled a piece of white paper to make it look like cigarette). So, a cigar is actually out of place but it would have to do as a prop. It is more the styling and pose that counts in this respect. Taken from a higher position. I used a mundane Canon EF 100mm f/2 for that shot in combo MB IV and Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 Mark II for the other two.
The AF was set on Lock-On AF mode in continuous and somehow the A7r II enables a "face recognition" mode using that combo, making it easy to do. I didn't know that before hand. Since I used f/5.6 as the shooting aperture, I am not sure how accurate the AF is on the eye at wide open. At that aperture, all eyes seem to be critically sharp since the AF was locked on to the face....Show more →
I didn't comment last time around, but I have to say these are quite beautiful Joshua. I like the cigar, a whimsical contrast to the glamour of the overall image. You do some very nice work behind the camera and in front of the computer!

Hi Jon,
Thank you very much! Behind the camera but in front of the computer - yup, that's the place I feel comfortable in.
