  1. Another quick snap from my new toy

    I don't think any photographer, amateur or not will always get great shots without photoshopping them, it's just the way it is. Out of interest, here's the untouched version of the above, just cropped a little, and increased the contrast, brightness and vibrance a little.

  2. Do you still get that weird blur with a really small aperture (large f/stop)?

     

    No, these are all taken wide open at 1.7 because i like the weird blur, it's dreamy :lol:

     

    I think it's an old school lens made for much smaller sensors, hence the blurry extremes to the shots, but that's the character of it :)

    It's not a lens to use all the time, but i like it :D

  3. Got a new lens for the NEX-5 today, thought i'd share as i think a couple of other people have these cameras..

     

    Really interesting little thing it is...

    Fits straight on the camera, It's much smaller than the kit lens, makes the whole thing even more portable and gives an awesomely narrow depth of field, to get some nice interesting creative shots :)

     

    Just getting my head around using it, so these first shots aren't amazing, but these are straight from the camera (except re-size)

    Great little lens for the money, and i believe there are other Chinese copies of this on eBay for as little as £25, i found this out after i'd bought mine for £85 :doh:
