[Hamish Gill]

Obviously its not a painting ... It just sorta looks like one ... its the Summarit 50 at 1.5 effect when in the wild! Who needs sharpness eh?

Awesome Hamish, simply awesome!!
I think I have just fell in love with a lens that I've never used!
I'm really liking the dreamy effect that it produces.

Absolutely gorgeous image Hamish. True sharpness is over rated.

Wonderful shot Hamish...and it can't be said better than...

That is spectacularly nice Hamish. And a fine composition too.

Now admit it - you made her wear red for the photo!

Lovely shot- - I like the idea that she's off on her own, exploring the world

 

[Pete Askew]

They have a trip to Venice planned!

Nice shot Hamish

 

[Lesley Jones]

Oh yes! I'm developing an aversion to sharpness myself and this is exactly why. Lovely dreamy wood and that wonderful red coat

That is just super Hamish, really nice and I really like the effect the lens has caused. Was it out of focus slightly or is the lens just naturally like that at 1.5?

It is usually a little sharper, but it may be at the distance its less sharp ... ??? Or I moved a bit ... ?


Thanks everyone!

Troll? Never! It was a dwarf in the film.

 

[Pete Askew]

Er, small person I mean.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, but she looks like a troll!

 

[Hamish Gill]

An under-bridge-dwelling creature I mean
