wmw999 2,135 #26 September 26, 2003 Very, very nice. The difference between you and me is that you have, out of your roll of 36, 3 really cool shots; when I take a roll, the ones with recognizable people are the ones I keep -- I think your standards are a little higher, and I'll bet you practice more, too. It shows. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

dterrick 0 #30 September 26, 2003 Damn there's some inspiration to get into photography semi-seriously. I'm impressedwith the lighting and the depth of field issues you played around with. How long did it take you to kill that roll? Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #31 September 26, 2003 Dude. Wow. That's amazing. I so wish I had any amount of talent with photography, but I'm with Wendy- any pictures that are in focus and at least have people in them, I keep. The rest suck. Arthur, those pictures are beautiful. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean all that Zeiss glass is just incredible to shoot with . We have a few Hasselblads laying aroud the studio but the Contax system is so much sharper . We did a test with a Leaf 22 mega-pixel back and a Contax and a Hasselblad . Everyone that judged the test said the Contax was much sharper . Have you played with any of the pro digital yet ? This stuff is great to work with and the ease of workflow just amazes me . This stuff is so much fun to do that I almost feel bad drawing a paycheck for doing it .

I think the Zeiss glass is the best you can build any lens with . The only thing I have left from the test shots are the 24"x36" prints as I deleted the files to save space on the hard drives .
