Yes, capture at mid aperture setting here but I really like the rendition of the the GM 24-70mm II for studio usage…
Fully agree with Gunzorro. It's nice to see a portrait that does not rely on shallow DOF. The great portrait painters did not paint everything blurry but an eye or two!!
I decided to take a hike in the desert in the afternoon, even though there were no clouds and a temp of 110F. I wanted to see what might show up photographically. I spent 50 minutes taking pictures and only went 50 yards down the trail. I limited myself to the CV 21/3.5. The 4:15 sun lit up this beautiful cactus like a beacon.
Looking at a "carpet" of Muscari "Bluebells" in a field of Muscari "Bluebells". You can some of the paths separating the different patches of plants and flowers to try to keep viewers from stepping on them.
Tripod mounted A1 and Voigtlander 110mm f2.5 Macro Apo-Lanthar, FE mount; silent shutter.

So terrific, Joshua -- the lighting, colors, and sweet expression! Seems very painterly. A real winner.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Jim! I am glad you like that image.

Thank you for your kind compliment, photonoclast! I hear you on that notion. That kind of conditions are best achieved in a studio setting.
