Grubby - framed by the fence

[Hamish Gill]

another from today .. i do love my 85mm ... i think i would need to go blind before i sold this lens!... unless i got the new version i suppose ....

anyway ... heres 'the grub cat'! this was shot through and framed by a wooden fence

I like that vignetting. Cat looks like he's about to cause trouble.

You should have called him Clint. All he needs is a poncho! Not sure I like the framing effect. It looks like it was created in PS even though it wasn't. Nice DoF though. I'll let you know about the new version as it is getting its first outing this week!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Pete if you keep buying stuff that I want your just gonna have to go!
Seriously though, let us know how you get on! Have you ever used the af-d version that I use?


He is always about to cause trouble Ralph, even if the trouble is with his whiskers up your nose ... Hes one of those "needy" cats, he has to sleep between me and Hannah else he mieows until he gets his way ... Be lost without the little blighted though!

I like the natural framing on this........... As for your *****.......i dont trust or like them...........lol

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks one handsome looking kitty - how did you get him to sit still for the shot!

 

[Hamish Gill]

... i was hiding behind the fence

I love the framing, I assume the lens was wide open? I have been eying the Canon 85 f1.2 for a while, need to look at the Nikon as well....

The expression on the cat's face is classic! Reminds me of my cat
Thanks for sharing!

Hamish, No my other 85 1/1.4 is a Zeiss MF lens. Will be going through the images from Greece (> 1000) over the next few days and will report back on the new version version then.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I so nearly bought the ziess but decided the nikon would be more practical ... You fancy doing a real user review of the new nikon ... We should start doing user reviews I think!

 

[Pete Askew]

OK, but probably not for a couple of weeks. Maybe a comparison even!

 

[Hamish Gill]

good stuff! ... maybe i should loan you mine for a nikon/nikon comparison

 

[Pete Askew]

Not a bad idea but I will do it i Germany and won't be back in the UK until mid May, so probably best not. I'm pretty sure I've seen a review of the two versions.
