Still on vacation, using iPhone. Have to be breif but realized I'm not a landscape photographer. I really actually think the 21 is really to wide for anything aside from indoor interiors. The 35 is a much more versitile and managable lens. Unfortunitly I only brought the 21 and 50. In hindsight I should have had the 100 with me as well. Or 35 and 100 would have been better had I wanted a two lens setup!
The 50MP really is amazing for portraits!!
Didn't bring my computer so have no shots to show yet. Though used 40gb out of the 48gb I brought. So expect some shots when I get back. ...Show more →
Look forward to your shots Adam
After my last trip to Thailand, one of my favourite travel lenses is the ZE 35/2. My favourite travel FL used to be 28mm, and is the reason why I now added the ZE 28/2.
Been a while since I posted, have been busy working and shooting, here's one I took today.
I managed to cut myself pretty bad on a rock and badly scratch my gitzo 1541t oh and my ND grad slipped out of the holder while taking this shot.
Sorry about the uneven skies, didn't realise the B+W linear pols were so effective (first time shooting with one). I'll avoid it on such wide lenses in future.

How do you add the dreamy/otherworldly look to your shots? I'm Lightroom stupid, so I guess I'll have to rely on taking descent jpgs for now.
If you're referring to the blur in the water it's just because of the longer exposure (2 seconds), the even exposure is because of the nd grad filter. The unusual and unnatural darkening in the sky is because I misused my polarizer.
I actually processed this one in Capture One, and I'm C1 stupid so all I could really do is move the sliders a bit... not much post processing at all, but I like the conversion from RAW that Capture One does.
Thanks! Your shots make me miss the ability to shoot macro, although I was never quite so adept at it as you are... charles.K wrote:
Amazing shot thrice!
To me, Capture One has a steeper learning curve, particularly than Lightroom. I had an evaluation copy of it and just got a "light" copy and it's going to take a bit to get comfortable. I think it's oriented more toward a work flow with larger numbers of raw images. Of course, Lightroom is also oriented this way but to me it was easier to get up to speed. What little I've used Capture One, I did see some very good results, in some ways better than Adobe.
Thanks guys. I agree that the 100 MP is really something special when it comes to smooth bokeh.
And now for something completely different.
35/2:
50MP:
100MP:
If you are wondering what is going on there in the middle pictures - it's my sister's high school graduation. I used Zeiss glass only and got surprisingly few shots with missed focus. I had very bad luck with the weather and light though.

I've never heard of Capture One. Would you suggest this over Photo Shop or Lightroom for a PP stupid like myself?
Thanks

Hi Steph,
Lightroom is a lot easier. Capture One is "smarter" the auto white balance tends to actually work, and the moire and fringing reduction algorithms are superior to lightroom, and very helpful with the M9 The noise reduction in Lightroom is great though, so I will probably keep using both in tandem. Especially since I get Lightroom free with the M9.
