I took these pictures today early morning.
I had with me the following lenses: Zenitar 2.8/16, Planar 2/100, MC Jupiter-9, MIR-1 and MC MIR-24M.
I will submit of course some of these to the Autumn contest but before I present the series, It was a quick session so no special works, just a handful of snapshots.
You will find the lens indication below the picture.
Only remark I want to make: the colours in the MC MIR-24M's vine photos are absolutely UNRETOUCHED, what you see is what came out of the lens.

Thanks guys!
I admit, although I shot quite in a hurry (at least compared to my usual habit), I'm happy too with this series.
I think that Dawn (#34) is one of the best photos I ever took, I only regret not having had an assistant with a golden panel to fill up the grass blades in the foreground.
The MIR-24M is an amazing lens, it gets close to the results of my Distagon 1.4/35 for plasticity, look at the 3D effect in pic#38, the reduced size does not give it justice, and the f/4 shot which I did not include was even more 3D. And it renders colours even better than the Distagon.
No, wait: it renders colours better than any lens I know. And the Nikkor mount version (different manufacturer) gives the same colours. Try to get the colours of photos 42-46 with any Canon EF lens of your choice without boosting up the saturation knob (and without loosing a mass of detail in the process).
The MIR-1 aluminium lens, almost as old as me, turned out to be an incredibly sharp lens. Look at the photo of my bag(#25): if you don't guess the sharpness from there, I will post a 100% crop to make you a believer.
And I think there's something to be said about the bokeh in #27-28
Michael was right when he said that this lens can be very sharp too.
And speaking of bokeh, what about the one in pic#22? I normally dislike the J-9 bokeh but this time, in some parts, it looks like a Franz Marc painting. Amazing (and totally casual result, I must admit).
Oh, did I mention that I love to photograph at dawn?
And this time I was also late, I usually leave home when it's still dark and wait for sunrise already on location.

Absolutely speechless over that series Orio. I too love dawn and you show exactly why we should love the light at that time of the day. I am just about to embark on a journey into Russo-European lenses and these make me quite eager to try some out.

You have at least 2 great qualities
You wake up before sun and you are a master of photoshop
If I had those photos I would have destroy them with autolevel and lost all the great atmosphere
I prefer #17. At first I thought it need boost of black level. After a while I understand it's you way that work. |

I love to wake up early. My problem is that I work with a boss that lives in Los Angeles, so often I have to work late.
As for Photoshop, if you saw me, you would be surprised of how little I use it.
In the case of these dawn/sunset pictures, I do this very simple thing:
1- I develop the raw twice, one for the sky the other for the ground (just a little brighter).
2- I rack the sky image as a layer on top of the ground image
3- with the Eraser tool and a soft edge brush, I erase the ground from the top picture, revealing the lower layer. When I get close to the sky-ground edge, I lower the percentage of the Eraser, to ensure a smooth fade.
That's all. And that's also the most work I do with Photoshop. Most of the time, I use it only to place my copyright on the images. _________________ Orio, Administrator

great setup. I also like SimpleViewer, which I've been dabbling with
recently. BTW, what an idyllic rural setting you live in! |

nice set Orio I love those Planar 2/100 and Mir 1 shot of the tree. For the display of the web page I like the interface of the second one better bur maybe a more neutra gray backround the black seems to drop the brightnedd on all the shots. I like to have whole set to view in thumbnail on one page too rather than scrolling through the large pictures _________________ LENS LIST |
