Yes crazy, but crazy nice. I love the masked leaf. It's probably looking to tag along the trick or treatin' on Halloween. _________________ My Outlet

Wonderful set with such great variation - really enjoy them all! |
Thanks, after working a lot this week, I was rewarding myself with a stroll through town on the first sunny evening for some time, trying to get to know my Vario-Sonnar 35-70 (again - I had it already a while back). _________________ My Outlet

I'm not sure if it would if I didn't, but now that I know, I think it bothers me much more than with the guy in the red jacket. Like I said, I don't mind a little movement in the back. Perfection is overrated. The image has such great depth, that's what makes me like it a lot.
I have a few more from my stroll in town...

Am I keeping to the spirit of the topic? I have a lens which I use for most of my macro at moderate magnification. It has AF capability but I use both the camera in Manual Mode and the lens in manual focus. It is a 4/3 lens adapted to a micro 4/3 camera. The following images were shot with that. If acceptable, I have hundreds of stereo pairs.
Bonnet mushrooms shot yesterday, in the rain, some running off a cap.
Lens: Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro on 4/3 to m4/3 adapter. Twin flash.

A bit hard to look at (I don't know why), but I like the shiny caps of the mushrooms and the running water that is surprisingly uniform. _________________ My Outlet

Portraits are not (much of) a problem. If your model holds still, it works well doing the cha cha . Just don't take too long (model's impatience - or ability to stay frozen). If you shoot two frames about one or two seconds apart it works well. If you really need to hurry, I've had some success shooting in burst mode while moving to the side, trying to keep the subject in the same spot. The disadvantage with this method is that you need to crank the shutter speed way up, in order not to have motion blur and you have to start moving before the first click. However shooting action is still out of the question.
I do have a stereo adapter, but it's not adapted yet. It's from an old Zeiss Contaflex. You can find pictures of it here: Steritar. I had made a DIY adapter for using the Contaflex Pro Tessar lenses I had acquired before, not knowing I'd need the lens from the inside of the camera in order to use it. You have to make the adapter from a broken camera, because you need the lens inside it. A while back I took my adapter apart, because the Steritar was tilted. I haven't gotten to fixing it yet, but maybe I'll find the time now - so thanks for reminding me . _________________ My Outlet

Interesting - I never thought of that (stereo portraits). I actually should rig up two of my A900 with two of my MinAF 1.4/85 and start working

Beware of blinking. I suspect that portrait specialists get the subject to blink deliberately before the first shot. _________________ Dedicated to using manual focus lenses with digital.

Thanks! Yeah it feels like yellow tinted glass enhances the fall colors. Works best in the late fall when everything is brown, no color corrections needed |

I also had images via my Laowa 25mm x2.5-x5 but they were fogged by residual moisture in the camera after a very wet day out.
If this is the species I think it is, there are only about 3 previous UK records and none of them recent.
Slime mould Heterotrichia major. the only shiny red species I have found.
FOV ca 7mm wide.

A friend of mine really is into stereo photography. He built several such rigs using cheap (small) Canon DSLRs, mounting them on a slide rail, fitting them with the same lens. I don't really know how he triggers them, but he figured out a way to do it simultaneously. This way he can shoot sports without much problems. I don't know about the AF, but I guess I would turn it of and try to zone focus with a mid aperture setting like f/5.6.
If you have two identical cameras and lenses, why not give it a try. The only thing that might be bad is that the cameras are too big resulting in images to far apart for perfect 3D. I assume it will still work very well, especially with a tele lens and some distance, where it might even be good for enhancing the effect a little. _________________ My Outlet

Looks like a bunch of red sausages on a piece of grilled meat on a loaf of bread. Yummi (or not ). Very nice lighting and 3D. _________________ My Outlet

Thanks. The lighting is simple: 2 similar units at about 45 degrees to each side. As it is a tiny specimen, each flash in tilted downwards at 45 degrees, a feature seemingly unique to the units I use. _________________ Dedicated to using manual focus lenses with digital.
