Some people will say this is a little over-processed, but I really like it. I like the drama, and the C/Y does a beautiful job.
Thank you Mike
A Florida Hammock on a hot humid morning, reminiscent of the Florida Highwaymen Paintings, in which artist A.E. Backus taught locals from a Fl. community to paint.
There a few sunrises throughout my life that stick to my memory and here is one them. I posted similar sceneries previously but this is a "newly" discovered file. It is from the same location but subsequent to the image I posted 2-3 pages ago. This time, I used an adapted Leica-M 24mm Summilux ASPH on the classic A7r to capture the sunrise. I am sure I stopped the aperture down to at least around f/4.
Got out today with Loxia 35 to see how it holds up wide open in overcast lighting. Granted, the Loxia isn't at its best until closing down the aperture slightly, otherwise the image is rather "old fashioned" as with older medium format lenses such as those designed for the original RB 67 lenses shot wide open: a bit soft overall with spherical aberration glow fringing on high contrast edges. Still, wide open the lens can convey a certain charm not found in the highly correct modern lens designs.
Minimal PP done on the images besides straightening/cropping and exposure with slight adjustment in highlights and shadows. Sharpness set to LR default, CA correction on.
FE 85 will have to do for kid’s sports until I get the Tamron 70-180/2.8. No rush, given the state of things in the US of A and poor prospects of any organized sports, drama, etc. in 2020-21. Might instead get the Sigma 35/1.2 to take bokehlicious pictures of them during Zoom classes.
