There are plenty of people who would suggest that you can't shoot architecture with a 35mm and you need a 24mm or wider. I used to be in that camp too some extent but I have found that with a shift lens on a full frame body you can do a lot with a 35mm… Continue reading Architecture with the Zeiss 35mm PC-D

Latest addition to the ongoing series on empty buildings in London. This, the first for this winter, is in the Hoxton area of London, a building which must be worth a fortune yet has been empty for ages.

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

A companion to this - and only a couple of arches away from the earlier shot.
A bonus upload for today. This was seen in hackney Wick last December. Made with the Contax G fit 90mm this shot really shows the sharpness and 'Pop' that the lens can deliver on the A7r in good light. I was lucky enough to spot this lens, in the rare black version, in Cash Converters for a… Continue reading Wyke Road (Contax G90mm Sample)
A quick portrait of my mate Richard taken with the Zeiss 55/1.8 on the A7r down the pub last night. Shot wide open as another Bokeh test type of shot.
