I was just playing with some different perspectives using different focal lengths. The bottles weren't moved at all between shots.

All images shot with each lens wide open, sharpened, slight sepia filter added and resized.

Tair 135mm F2.8



Zenitar 50mm F1.7



Vivitar 19mm F3.8

I like the 50mm shot best, but then I am "normal," sort of.
Did you pick up the bottles by the roadside and array them?

Lol, yes, one had paraffin in it! Laughing

These were washed up on the beech so I just lined them up on the wall and tried a few lenses out to see which did the best job.

Laughing The vision of Martin staggering around on a tatty beach, high on Vodka, trying to take pics and even noting down the lenses and settings made my day. I bet you drove home after all that too!

Did you reach any conclusions?

Not quite the 1st shots but early ones. I had a double shoot yesterday so it got a good workout!

I like the bokeh of the Tair the best, the Vivitar is good fun. The Zenitar is very good wide open and the fastest lens I have.
