Saucisson sec, France

stunsworth · 06/24/06, 10:00 PM

French food markets are out of this world. This was in Arras in Northern France.

Canon 5D, Leica 50mm Summicron. Shot as ISO 800 by the way.

Superb- I can almost smell it!

You ought to go to Bury market and shoot similar stuff, seing as you are named after a suburb of that town. ;-)

Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks Pete, you know I've never been to Unsworth even though it's only a few miles from where I live. Bury market is an idea though, I might pop over one Saturday soon. I love black puddings!

Hey steve, you fit a 50mm summicron on a Canon 5D. How? By the way it's a lovely photograph.

michael_boylan · 06/24/06, 11:18 PM

Yum yum.

Gosh that lens is *sharp*.

stunsworth · 06/25/06, 01:48 AM

Michael, I've included a portion of the image at 100% without sharpening to let you see the true level of detail recorded - personally I'm continuously impressed with this lens! Remember this was shot at ISO 800!

In answer to the other question I use an adaptor that allows Leica R lenses to be used on Canon EOS bodies. There are some compromises in that you have to use stop down metering, and not all Leica lenses with work with the 5D - this is mainly a problem with the wide angle lenses and doesn't affect the other Canon digital cameras.

Steve,

Very colorful. I guess we know where you'll be retiring...

twom4 · 06/25/06, 07:17 AM

You make me hungry...

stunsworth · 06/25/06, 12:15 PM

William I'd love to retire to France. The more I travel in South-West France in particular, the more I think it would be an ideal area to live - provided there weren't too many Brits ;-) - sea, mountains good food and drink it would be perfect. But the way pensions are behaving in the UK I'll probably be lucky to get there once a year ;-)

More Saucisson Sec in France

Vaison la Romaine - Provence - R8 + DMR - Vario Elmar 3.5/21-35 - 1/25 at f/5.6 - ISO=100

robert_parker · 01/21/07, 10:30 PM

Very nice ... the 50mm is very under-used, if not exactly under-rated lens (as I suspect, is the 21-35)

really like the colour and composition of Steve's shot and I would love to see if Peter's would crop down to the figures on the left

elansprint72 · 01/21/07, 10:35 PM

Nice to see this tasty thread coming back for a second helping!

The Famous Five may recognise this lady from the Manchester meet; or should that be Manchester meat?

Pete.

stunsworth · 01/21/07, 10:38 PM

That's the French for you, so sophisticated they even wear white gloves when they're playing with your sausage.

stuny · 01/21/07, 11:52 PM

Steve -

Sorry I missed this one the first time around. I know what you mean about French food markets and agree. Your shot is far better than any I've done of them.

stunsworth · 01/22/07, 12:04 AM

Stuart, I was surprised myself to see this one reappear after so long. Perhaps now I have an M8 I should start whinging about how plastic the 5D shots look :-). Only kidding, I still think it's a great camera.

ECliffordSmith · 01/22/07, 10:00 AM

Steve,

Very nice. You should try the Sunday market in Lille if you have never done so. The food there is out of this world.

The detail the lens picks up is quite remarkable by the way.
