Wow ... that last shot with the 85P is pretty incredible ... very nice separation. This must be an example of the famous Zeiss 3D look .. and why I bought a Zeiss lens
I was on business workshop at Levi, Finland, and luckily the schedule was organised so that we had free time during the days. There were some hiking trails made to snow (they have made the "path" hard by driving the path with skidoo) and forest was very nice looking. Unfortunately I only had 1.4/50 Planar with me, since I was not sure how much there is time to shoot if any. Let's start with opposite ends of aperture scale; I rarely shoot aperture larger than f/2.8 or aperture smaller than f/11.
Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1.4/50 @ f/2.8, 1/1000s, ISO 100 - larger
Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1.4/50 @ f/11, 1/200s, ISO 100
High quality work here as always! I haven't visited this thread in a while since I sold my only lens (ZE 35/1.4). However, now I have ZE 21/2.8 and brought it to Lofoten in northern Norway. I'm pleased with the lens, but not so much with the old sensor in 5D after have used Sony RX1 for a while...
great stuff Helena. The wave front makes it look like a very dramatic ridge casting a shadow into a pit of water waiting to devour the village. Exceptional really.
One bother though, how did you decide on the crop? Was it to exclude something that ended up in the frame?
Ronny, thank you! Great series of your dog as always! He is quite scary looking in the first one. I have no idea how you manage to MF these kind of photos so well.
Rodluvan, thanks for the feedback! It's a panorama from two quick shots (we had parked the car somewhat "illegally" so I had to be quick) and when I stitched them the top of the mountain was chopped off, so I have to crop quite a bit at the sides.

Looks wonderful on my Cinema Display ... lots of POP. It's near impossible calibrating for the internet because there are so many variables ... everyones monitor and browser are all different. Calibrating for print and calibrating a Plasma for watching movies is easier as there aren't other viewers involved.
Deang, thanks for the feedback sorry I missed it earlier. I ended up buying an IPS screen, I have a bad habbit of slouching on the computer chair and with my old screen it defeats the purpose of having it calibrated. Here are some recent ones I worked on
Thank's
Samuli: Usually I pre-focus and sometimes when there is some action pictures of the dog I use the continuous shooting sometimes and hope for the best.... following focus is difficult when it is moving and fast-moving subjects.
Great shot on the trees
Great shot Picture This and rirakuma !
