Photography
This post is sort of an odd one, at least compared to other recent posts. It's just a couple of shots that showcase a Contax lens. Earlier this week I was at a shopping mall the architectural practice I work for has been amending over the last couple of years. They demonstrate how the Sony… Continue reading A Mall with the Zeiss 18mm
Another entry in my ongoing 'Darkitecture' series encompassing images of unoccupied postwar buildings. This one is near the Old Street Roundabout in London. I particularly like the way that the metal shutters on the ground floor catch and reflect the light. Shot with a Zeiss 18mm lens on a Sony A7r
Taken with my new Zeiss 18mm C/Y fit lens. Even though this is the second time I've owned one of these, low level of distortion from this Distagon impresses.
This image was shot yesterday with the Zeiss 18/4 on my Sony A7r. Quite impressively low distortion, also better than expected highlight recovery from the A7r.
Another couple of Common Areas, taken while flat hunting.
I had a bit of a protracted and unsatisfactory purchase from an Oxfam shop via eBay recently, however it worked out OK in the end I got an RTS III with a 25/2.8 MMJ Distagon, in place of the 28/2.8 that was originally advertised, OK it was full of Fungus but in the end that… Continue reading New things – Contax RTS III, Zeiss 25mm & Zeiss 18mm
Part of the reason for not posting much over the last month is that I've gone all in on the Sony A7r with both the native primes and adapters, including the Metabones Smart Adapter III. In spite of having used DSLRs and the NEX-6 for quite a while, the A7r is a completely different proposition… Continue reading 06.03.14 -> Sony A7r
At the end of the double yellows is a building I really like, designed by Amanda Levete Architects, which is almost impossible to photograph, because it's on a narrow alley. The architects have, cleverly, peeled the facade back and allowed light into the building. I'd love to say I'd deliberately balanced the red of the… Continue reading 27.02.14 -> Vanishing Point
Maybe I wouldn't cry, but the basic sentiment holds. How many Tes-bury's does any area need? Zeiss 28/2.8 MMJ on NEX-6
Sort of a filler to my Photo-a-day project; it's an eBay product shot, but it's still a photo and it had to be done! I just put my scruffy old 28mm AE version up for sale as I've replaced it with a nicely priced new MM version from Cameraworld who, it seems don't really have… Continue reading 30.01.14 -> For Sale
