So I fitted the Summilux-R 50mm to the CL, set it up on a tripod, and worked at it for a bit yesterday. Doing self portraits and making something that isn't goofy is pretty difficult. I tried to use the remote app, but it lacks a self-timer feature (feature request time ... sigh). I finally got something reasonable after about 50 exposures with the self timer...

Within a churchyard it is much more likely to be an old yew, but with a sprawling habit. Often centuries old, they have been cut back in the past and regenerated, often in unusual ways. A close-up shot would confirm the genus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value your insight but just talk to anyone with a very black dog. Here is one directly from The CL. I will appreciate any suggestions. The problem: When you start post processing to show the dogs eyes and coat texture you lose their total blackness. Especially in bright snowy light. Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted March 6, 2019 Share #4735 Posted March 6, 2019 I can't work the iPhone and achieve the expression I want in the photograph. I know this from having tried with thirty or forty exposures or so. Don't think I didn't try....! Getting a decent portrait means having the whole body oriented and focused on the task in the right manner. I used to do environmental portraits for pay ... It takes a lot to satisfy me. I don't care what the technological reasons for its lack. The remote does not have a self timer in its choices for the CL (what it does for other bodies is irrelevant). It would have made the whole endeavor much easier if I'd been able to use the self timer remotely. AS it was, I had to set it to the 10 or 12 second mark, trip the shutter, and run to the position, collect myself, and try to get the expression I wanted before my time was up. Not particularly easy.

LocalHero1953 Posted March 6, 2019 Share #4736 Posted March 6, 2019 Photographing publicity shots of my choir last night, with the CL + Apo-Summicron-SL 90. This one ISO 6400, f/3.2, 1/100s. Auto WB. Minimal post processing. This lens balances very nicely on the CL, and the image quality is to die for. Welcome, dear visitor!

I'll be back in the country in a week or so and will take a closer look as I now want to be sure myself. I've seen enough yew hedges to recognise the type but I didn't really look that closely as evergreen+churchyard =yew for me 😃 I'm off to google 'Yewspreading'! Did you know that there is one in a churchyard in Wales believed to be about 5,000 years old? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 6, 2019 Share #4738 Posted March 6, 2019 More shots from the choir rehearsal. CL + Apo-Summicron-SL 90. These both at ISO 1600 and f/2. Also minimal processing, to show what this lens and body can produce. Wide open, it allows you to pick a face from the crowd. The second shot has been cropped slightly to centre the face.

I have to confess I hesitated when making that comment because I am aware of the problem with black dogs - someone else also discussed this a few weeks ago I think. The black colour and the furry texture creates real problems! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Try it in a different way. I downloaded this JPG and there's about 1 stop of exposure you can add in LR without blowing out the whites. You may have even more latitude with the DNG file. That immediately lightens the dog without making him look grey. Lift the shadows a little (+15) You can then use a local brush to kill the highlights on the snow. I'm happy to post the result of what I did if you would like me to. Edited March 6, 2019 by Dippy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
