tookaphotoof Posted April 27, 2015 Share #21 Posted April 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Using the evf or the big screen on the m240 for focussing, would certainly disqualify my results trying to nail the dogs whilst they run towards me!

Advertisement Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi tookaphotoof, Take a look here Bokeh. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

tookaphotoof Posted April 27, 2015 Share #23 Posted April 27, 2015 Was that cat running towards you as well? [emoji4] To be serious for a moment, I can like a photo with a nice 'bokeh' as long as I can still see the silhouettes. Personally no fan of photos where I have to guess if it's taken outside, in a building, whatever because, for instance, I only see the gearknob and literally everything around it looks like a plain tablecloth.

Cuthbert Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share #24 Posted April 28, 2015 Actually that was my target for this picture: to have a narrow DOF and focus just on a detail and have anything in the foreground and background blurred in order to attract the attention of the viewer on it, so I'm happy that once developed the pic came out as I imagined it, then if it's not your ideal picture fair enough, I don't see why a bokeh'd flower is acceptable and not such a particular. I assume you don't like this shot either: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tookaphotoof Posted April 30, 2015 Share #27 Posted April 30, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Like 4 & 5 the most, Nr. 6 isn't working for me though. Usually more interested in the flowers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberti Posted April 30, 2015 Share #28 Posted April 30, 2015 I like the first: the apparent depth of field is nice and old fashioned. Good scans by the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberti Posted May 3, 2015 Share #33 Posted May 3, 2015 saxs1c.jpg Seems like a double exposure; how did you do that; what type of camera? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuthbert Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted May 3, 2015 Seems like a double exposure; how did you do that; what type of camera? Where do you see the double exposure? Perhaps it's just the bad scan...the camera is my M4-P and the lens a Elmarit 90mm f2.8 wide open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnew Posted May 3, 2015 Share #36 Posted May 3, 2015 Speaking Bokeh, I do not see the difference of taking these pictures on film or on digital M9 !? M240 is different because of the LV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuthbert Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share #37 Posted May 4, 2015 There is a difference because I know the Summarit very well and wide open it's not as sharp and doesn't give you these colours, it's a low contrast low definition vintage lens, I assume you pimped out these pictures in post processing and doing so IMO it's like photoshopping the boobs of Keira Knightley in that famous poster: Seriously, old super fast glass from the 30s, 40s, and 50s couldn't be as sharp wide open as today's lenses and also not even the f1.2 SLR lenses of the 70s (Nikkor, Canon, Pentax) and they are fine as they are with their qualities and their flaws, for instance, this are some shots of my Canon 50mm f1.2 LTM: This specimen is also a bad one because the coating of the fifth element is correded and has holes on the lens, it flares like a maniac in backlight but I still try to use its flaws in a productive way (for instance, the spot of light through the leaves) in order to create a "dreamy" image...not that I say I am able to do that, but at least I try it. Compare my shots with your cold hyperprocessed ones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
