this is f2 ISO 1600

these are f1.5 ISO 200

Wow. Super sharp center even at f2 with such nice creamy bokeh. What PP did you do? The colors seem to have a cool 'flavor'--almost a tint but more of different level of saturation--in the color portrait and the straw pic (love the straw pic, I'm formulating a food series of shots and that pic makes me jealous).

BTW, the eyes in the second portrait are haunting.

Hi

for post processing I mostly adjust the white balance and the contrast a bit, the lens is only single coated and it always gives a cool *retro* look to every shot I do . I think that its a clone of the 1938 Biotar 75mm by Zeiss is what makes it look vintage

here is what the lens looks like:

Ditto. I love the choice of focusing on the eclectic foreground candles.

Took my Helios 44-2 and 44-4 outside and took a couple of shots.

joelR · 03-21-2011, 04:56 AM

very nice. I think I like the second one better expect for the line (web?) going along the lower left hand corner.

samper · 03-21-2011, 04:11 PM

Thanks Joel. My goodness - I just noticed that line.

Most likely a spider web
