New Car!

@SKODAUK. Picked up my new Octavia SE 1.6TDi DSG today - so far very impressed and here's a quick snap!

Soft Focus Roseanne

Seems bizarre that I have all these excellent lenses that produce sharp images and then I go and add a soft-focus effect!

Oh well - I liked how it looked! This was done in Color Efex - I added Pro-contrast and Soft focus.

Pho2u News!

Hi all

I'm delighted to announce that I'm now part of the team at Pho2u where I will be helping to photograph their growing wedding business. My profile can be viewed here.

I recently took the bold step and swapped by Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L for the a Zeiss 21mm ZF. ZF means the Nikon version, so I attach it to my cameras with an adaptor.

This lens is very crisp corner to corner (the Canon zoom, whilst excellent, does soften at the edge of the frame somewhat). I love the colours and the rendering. I can't wait to use it at the coast during the summer!

This shot was about f/11 IIRC (the ZF lens doesn't report the aperture to a Canon camera) and I used 0.9 Soft Grad from Lee Filters to darken the sky.

I love the bokeh of the Canon 50mm f/1.2!

One more Roseanne!

Used @Lencarta gridded Stripbox as key and gridded small white beauty dish to camera right with ElitePro heads.
