Musical frog....

[Peter McCullough]

Just practising with my newly aquired Samyang 35mm f/1.4 (manual) lens, shot this metal frog playing a saxophone, I focused on the right arm, shot at f/1.4;

Now THAT'S a narrow DOF Peter!

You can see where people come unstuck trying to shoot 'sharp' portraits at f1.4 - you'd get an eyelash in focus, and everything else would be bokeh

Opens up lots of creative possibilities though

Another shot from my abstract session today............(the wee people)...............haha.

Again, this was shot at f/1.4;

 

[Pete Askew]

Excellent, I like that. And this lens really is showing its potential isn't it?

 

[Peter McCullough]

Yes I'm really liking the quality of the Samyang 35mm (manual focus) lens!

Here's my last shot of the day with the wee people, at f/1.4;

I knew that this 35 would bring us many pleasures, some great experiments Peter. It would be great to see how DOF drops off at varying Apertures against a rule (measure) I'm really liking what I see great stuff

You can definitely see why people love these lenses ...
the OOF is lovely, very soft and dare i say creamy ...
I loe the shot of the frog, he almost looks lit by stage lights!
