Yep, spring is definitely here, but it still rains every second day.
But hey, you have 'Flames' to warm you up
Been a very long time since I posted here on the Zeiss board...But recently re-acquired a 50 MP, and am very glad, too!! Will start below with some shots taken with it...Thanks for viewing...
Gregg
But first...
@thetennesseed..Love the Bloodhound shot...perfect capture! Really like the 2nd bee shot, too.
@Grenache...beautiful pictures of Hawaii! Rock and tranquility are superb! Looking forward to taking Zeiss to Hawaii our next trip myself!!
@twoeye...Great lighting on the 2nd study shot. I feel like I'm really there!
@Diploneis...Nothing to say...Incredible portraits! WOW! Very nice waterway shot! I can see that on someones Wall!!
@Rodluvan...I have to remind myself that I can't buy an 85P every time I see your photos!!
@Ronny _Olsson...BiF with an 85P! Who says you can't!! I've done it with my kids soccer, but he's 10 times bigger than a bird!!
@JaKo...your first post on pg 844..the reflection-plays tricks with my eyes. DOF through water is really neat!
@akul...the root shot really stands out...what f-stop? f4 or so?? Very sharp!!
@joakim...Missing the 2/28 after seeing your shots! For a wide angle, it has incredible separation between focus transition, and great 3D! The second tree shot has very nice POP!
@Ronny _Olsson...The last bike shot with the 100MP Bokeh makes the bike look like it's floating on water!!
@Lieutenant Z..I feel like I could reach out and pick a racket up!! Incredible!
@JaKo..Love the color on your last macro shot!! Very nice 3D...
After reading so much about them, I wanted to give Zeiss a try. I ordered a 1.4/50 ZE that arrived last Friday. Due to the weather, I did not get out as mush as I wanted.
I was surprised to find that manually focusing can be very satisfying (when you get it right).
I took this one at lunch today, (granted its not much) but I think I see that Zeiss look.
SOOC with just Lightroom presets, (no sharpening, etc) just resizing.
Feels like I haven't done anything for ages. Working too much. Found this from 6 months ago and did a quick conversion.
ZF 100/2.0 MP at f2.8; Nikon D800E
Dean, You street photography excels with the M9 and 50mp
great work on both threads
Same to you Ronny and Phillipe
Everyone else here has great work also
On my screen they appear somewhat underexposed though, can you confirm this?
Rodluvan: On my own screen they appear the same way, unfortunately. It's about a level or two below what it appears on my website. I'll just have to adjust to the difference in the future for some shots.
It's also dark because I shot it in very low late day light, to keep the threads of the seed ball from blowing out or reflecting light into the spaces between them. They are VERY reflective, and most folks who shoot them overexpose them. On my website, the seed ball sections are bright to the limit, but all the rest is really dark. That was the plan, but here it's just too dark.

No sweat! Just wanted to make sure my screen wasn't misrepresenting or that if you'd done it on purpose (avoiding the blown out bits in flowers is tricky business, and many photogs don't care or don't know about such "details").
