Advertisement Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hi albertknappmd, Take a look here Thambar-Crazy. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ernest Posted April 1, 2018 Share #482 Posted April 1, 2018 Zentralblende, according to the manual (which is quite restrained and rather nice IMO). Z or CSF, fewer keystrokes than (SF)2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 1, 2018 Share #483 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I've been busy lately so I'm still in the occasional snapshot testing phase. I still haven't got the filter out of the box yet. This is another of my patient daughter in the middle of making biscuits (she has flour and butter on her face). Probably around F2.6 or so, maybe F2.8 (to those unfamiliar with the lens, the aperture scale lends itself to very precise adjustment). Digital photo (M 240).

wattsy Posted April 1, 2018 Share #484 Posted April 1, 2018 I quite like these, Albert. I intend to use the Thambar for not dissimilar subject matter though I'll probably try and rein in the 'Thambarness' a bit. My aim is for some glow but without too much of the 'veil'. a landscape view.. similar settings 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about f stop followed by + or - referring to Z or CSF or (SF)2 This solves everything... example f/4 - 0r f/3.2 + Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you.. these are initial experiments on landscapes MINUS the CSF.. The glow is king, removing the Veil is the goal! Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted April 1, 2018 Share #487 Posted April 1, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been busy lately so I'm still in the occasional snapshot testing phase.

Probably around F2.6 or so, maybe F2.8 (to those unfamiliar with the lens, the aperture scale lends itself to very precise adjustment). Digital photo (M 240). This is a lovely photo Ian. I'm interested to see you're trying to "rein in the 'Thambarness' a bit". And I suspect being B&W helps a bit in that respect. But your restraint does seem to be getting the best out of this strange lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted April 1, 2018 Share #488 Posted April 1, 2018 For those who would rather spend the money on an M, use a mask and frequency separation. however I like what you created, it being Thambar without going way overboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianman Posted April 1, 2018 Share #489 Posted April 1, 2018 I'd never heard of frequency separation before, so I had a look on YT. It didn't take 5 minutes that I was bored beyond belief. I have nothing whatsoever against post-processing be it in the darkroom or on the computer. But to me this technique (frequency separation) goes far beyond what I would call photography. It may well still be "drawing with light" but IMHO manipulating a photograph using this technique results in an image which is barely related to the original and is more CGI than photography. Sorry for going OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted April 1, 2018 Share #490 Posted April 1, 2018 I watched the YouTube Frequency Separation video right through and while I found it interesting it did no more than transform real skin into Barby-doll skin, which is not something that appeals to me at all. I recall much comment over the years as to how the mainstream DSLR cameras and lenses produce doll-like skin in portraits whereas those produced with Leica equipment present highly realistic skin (too realistic with some lenses and ladies of a certain age!) so, as a Leica user, Frequency Separation seems counter intuitive to me.

pico Posted April 1, 2018 Share #492 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) From my more experimental days with imperfect, decentered lenses. But I digress. I always digress. Edited April 1, 2018 by pico 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted April 2, 2018 Share #493 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Wow I’m impressed by how patient your daughter is. I hope she inherits your camera one day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have also noticed the correlation between the extent of glow/radiance and the distance to the subject. They seem to be proportional... The closer you go, the less the glow... This relationship also holds true for luminosity. The more intense the light, the wilder the glow or radiance...

ianman Posted April 2, 2018 Share #496 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) These two three (you posted the third as I was typing!) are really nice Albert...
