Nice, but watch the shadow on the left, inside of the plate. I found those finger looking shadows a little distracting.

Also, I may be mistaken, but I think I see two light sources: The shadows on the left inside of the plate and a very light shadow on the right inside of the plate. That makes it look like light is coming from two directions. Am I right?

If we had two suns each casting its own shadow, lighting with only one shadow direction (from one source) would look strange to us? That's always been a very interesting philosophical concept for me.

It was open shade and a piece of foamcore for fill.

Hmmm. Strange you got those shadows then. It should have been virtually a flat light, like you want for that sort of subject. But there had to be direction or you would not have needed a fill, right? You didn't use any artificial lighting?

Beautiful work Doug and Tom, love the color and contrast in the woodpecker shot and the sepia tonality of the watering can, really well done. Here is one of mine shot last weekend with my new toy D60 and 55-200mmVR

Tom - and thanks back at you, I love to go out and shoot flowers after a rain or just in overcast weather while most everyone goes on to other things....

Not shure a Sony Erikson comes under 35mm, but oh well.
As science marches on and the male roll becomes less defined and some would say redundant. There is evidence of a back lash to this developing situation, no more will the male of the species be the robotic obedient servant, seduced by the carrot on the stick of clean shirts food and sex.
The writing is on the wall.

Conner,

What adapter are you using for the hassy glass on the canon and where did you get it?

Thank you,

Excellent. Thanks for the candor. I'm sure they'll be some forthcoming flack

I almost exclusively use Leica and to a slightly less degree CZ/Hassy on my 1Ds2 and while I own/have owned & used a LOT of Leica primes, I've never used a 35-70/4 and am interested in one.

As you know, once you've used Leica or CZ or some Hassy/Zeiss (110/2 F) on a FF Canon, going back to EF glass (with some exceptions - e.g. 35/1.4, 85/1.2 V2, 135/2) feels like a BIG downgrade. Canon's long & fast sports glass (300/2.8 IS and up) is a different matter - much closer (with the exception of APO glass) contest.

The CZ and Leica draw differently, but vs. EF "L" (what a farce) glass, they are sharper, deliver better color, are MUCH better built, have no QC issues (other than odd stiff focus ring in neglected glass), were designed for manual focus -- and they feel like they're worth the $$ you paid.

Leica have their issues, but damn, they know how to make and test (PRIOR to shipment) lenses. CZ glass is no slouch and are some of the best bargains in glass these days, but you have to be a bit pickier on what lenses.

Thanks again.

BTW - saw your web site, nice work.

this is really nice, all the background animals in the different levels of clarity

Didn't have much of a background to work with at the Beijing Race Track but I think that the sun reflecting off the surface of the road helped as well as a little burning in at the top of the frame. 5D with 24-70.
