Two lenses - the 24-90SL at 90mm, f/4, ISO400, and the Hektor 7.3cm at f/1.9 and ISO100.

Clarity -10 for both, minimal sharpening, no local adjustments.

Both taken outside in shade but with bright sun around and about.

She asked for 'realistic' portraits, not photoshopped perfection. However, she much preferred the set taken with the Hektor.

I could have softened those with the modern lens but I find I can only do that to a limited extend before a plasticky appearance takes hold.

Yes it's an old trick though I'm not sure what it has to do with donkeys more than any other animal?

 

Here's why I am asking. There about 30 banded lines on the image. I can't work out what kind of fence has links that close together that you get that many lines on an image shot at 200mm.

its okay. You should make it to tomorrow if you can’t figure it out. By the way I only counted 27....... hopefully this will help you

Love

Neil

OK well then I'm struggling to see how the banding is due to the fence.

 

Think about it; you're stood 3m from the fence and you're focal length is set to 200mm, which means that your field of view at 3m is half a meter wide. In your shot there are around 30 vertical dark bands (I cannot see the horizontal ones - can anyone else?). The fence shown above has 34 vertical struts per pannel and each pannel is probably 2.5m wide. In order to see the banding you got in the image, there would either have to be four times the number of wires in the each pannel or your shot includes pretty much the full width of one pannel, which means you were stood more like 13m behind it.

 

Clearly it's a slow day for me at work and I should stop thinking about this! :D I still like the image mind.

You also need to consider the fact that I am shooting at an angle which makes the vertical lines seem closer together wherelse no affected by the horizontal lines from my angle of view. Also the light and shadow in the pic showed a stronger left to right light source which is also a contributing factor to the much clearer vertical lines. I'm certain that it has nothing to do with banding due to sensor. I will be the first to be concern if it were so and I will be screaming about it. The sensor banding problem appeared on my M240 @ ISO3200 and I raised the issue to Leica when it was recalled due to the strap lognuts issue when the camera had to be shipped back to Germany for inspection.

Oh, no!!!!

 

My TL2 has almost the same problem . . . 

 

. . . it's asymmetrical banding!

 

 . . . in broad daylight!

 

 . . . and since the lights have been removed!

I took this shot being perpendicular to the fence back in 2014 with my M240 + APO R180 Elmarit @ ISO 1250, you can see the vertical lines spaced out more.....

nice shot

Thank you for your comments.

 

I took more than 500 frames at the 2017 Singapore F1 GP on 17 September, however I only decide to show one pics which I can either tell a story or present an artistic expression.

Rather than showing more F1 pic, I'll share the pic of a dancing little swallow (no bigger than 5". It took me more than an hour inching forward each time it takes off and return to the perching spot. SL + 90-280mm.
