Re: Zeiss Lens Photos and Discussion (see also ZE/ZF/ZM thread)
I\'m copying you!
Actually, I prefer to shoot with hand held spontaneity, \"kamakizi-style\". Many of my subjects require slower shutter speed and low ISO, so I use a tripod quite a bit of the time. But if I have a \"choice\", I hand hold.
PS -- Here\'s one showing the barrel distortion at 80mm that I mentioned earlier. In film days, this distortion, as well as the vignetting at f/4-5.6, would have be a terrible hindrance to using this lens. Today, thanks to computer PP, it is relatively simple to remove in LR3. Luckily, this lens is sharp (which is very hard to improve in PP) and has great color (can be fixed in PP, but a challenge with some subjects). Personally, I\'ll take some distortion and light fall-off any day! (And, no -- I didn\'t stand outside the door for hours waiting for the shot with my raincoat open -- I wasn\'t wearing a raincoat.)
PSS -- Okay! I\'ve upgraded my Photobucket account, since I exceeded the amount of publishing on the free account! Ah, sweet Ego!
Here\'s another variation of the Victoria\'s Secret store.
Both are hand held, ISO 200, and AWB (no color adjusting) with 1Ds2. The one above is 80mm, 1/125 @ f/8, with minor PP in LR3.
This second shot was taken immediately after the above, at 200mm, 1/160 @ f/8, with slightly more extensive PP (+0.6 EV), including using the Canon 70-300/4-5.6 IS USM profile to remove the pincushion and other elements. Still no color adjusting -- I sort of like the warm partial tungsten influence.
