Marcel's Daily pics 2013

[Eye-level]

Zeiss and Sonnar are two of the most powerful words in the photographic universe.



There are a few old Nikkors that are Sonnar formulas anyone know which ones they are?

The sonnar is known for it's soft glowing portraits. Great stuff. A lot of the old Nazi pictures you see on Life.com and the such and from that era are kodachrome and a Zeiss Contax with Sonnar...amongst the first of the for the masses "fast" lenses.

Feb 1st

Cold wind came back after a few days of rain and warm weather. The grass even turned to green for a day.
Just a quick photo outside of the frozen leaves with green grass and bit of snow.

D90, 28-80 3.3-5.6. I used the jpeg file to produce this one.

There is just something about the color produced with the D90/D5000 sensor that I just love. Makes me lament getting rid of my D5000 here real soon.

Feb 1st, Second daily shot of the river with ice coming at me too fast for even an HDR attempt.

 

[Marcel]

I did try HDR and it worked OK with ghost removal maxed.

I also know that some of you don't like filtered images, but I kind of like the feel of this one...

The HDR has a nice effect on the water.. it looks like flowing paint on the right! Nice job...
