Following two shot are with Carl Zeiss Sonnar 2.8/85 (Rollei-QB), wide open

This one is like %50 crop:


Shot with Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar 4/200 (Rollei-QB) using MF Servo Laughing Again wide open (I'm using 2x angle finder with MF lenses)


Below are with an AF Sigma 28-300/3.5-6.3 DC Macro, I put it as I needed a wide angle and as the models came running I've used it, it is not bad on 5D at f:11 but looks weak on cropped sensors, all of them are f:11:

yalcinaydin, you are really getting the hang of this. And I have a felling you are enjoying yourself too.

Beautiful shots.

Yes, maybe, but you already have an "eye" which is more than half the battle.

For me is #6, Yalcin. Excellent shot. I like much the composition with the foreground portrait and the background with the legs.

Orio, I first made a tight crop by leaving the leftmost child outside the crop then it felt me that the overall impact reduced so started again and then with this composition it felt just right. To be honest I know too much techincal stuff but not experienced outside the concert halls so going out with more experienced friends really helps in improving myself.

You nailed the composition of #6 perfectly.
This is a great shot. Worth of a gallery.

+1 on the composition, dynamic and poised. The photos are full of life and personality.

These are historical shots btw, at least for me cause the municipality is tearing the houses down as this place is landslide area with not well build houses but the problem is these people are all poor (they are generall pedlar). Municipality is moving the people to apartments that newly made just on the city borders but I don't know if it is %100 free for them.

It is called Kadifekale as it is just near the Izmir castle 'Kadifekale' and is notorious as people think of there as a dangerous place. Kadifekale is nearly at the city centre and after the first phase of the tearing down, the Izmir Agora's front side become viewable:

Here is the view from the place, they have great Izmir view that our house doesn't Smile


The place from a lower view point, you can point the castle on top of the hill, below it is this ghetto area, I've shot the upper one in the middle of the area:

fantastic pics! #3 and #6 are the best for me.
But what do you mean with MFservo? Perhaps I missed something.

I'm tracking the action (the ball) with contiously manual focusing which is called AI Servo in EOS bodies if you AF Wink
