Very interesting, I noticed from your previous post(s) that you had attained f0.9 with the speedbooster & it actually seems quite manageable wide open. By manageable, I'm referring for example, to feedback that the speed of the Noctilux f0.95 lens was difficult to control, ie only the nose on a face in focus, etc).

I went to the province of Malaga Spain at the beginning of April and looking through, I had a hard time choosing between the pics of people and the beautiful scenery so I've put a couple of each. All shot with E-M5, first two with Rokinon 7.5, third with Oly 40-150R and last two with Panny 20mm.

Love this shot........still trying to get a cool frog photo like this. My problem is while waiting for a frog I will get distracted by that heron catching fish and switch to photographing a heron catching fish............now if one caught a frog that would make for a cool frog photo. One day I will just have to curtail my ADD and just ignore that heron catching frogs.

Not a spectacular month. I only got out a few times for short durations.

Well, that's certainly still the case here, I'm afraid. The 85L's DOF at this distance and this f-stop with the speedbooster means that at 100% viewing, one eye is clearly in focus and the other is a little soft. Thankfully, at more normal viewing sizes, you can't tell--with the primary effect being a softening effect on the skin than otherwise. I think I'd have to print the image at 16x20 in order to see it and even then you'd need to get awkwardly close to the print.

Love your processing!

 

[dancebert]

Lovely images. The first 3 could be used as text book examples of leading lines in composition.

I thought I'd shot a lot more in April, but maybe not so many of them were keepers!
Strangely, all of these were with with 35mm (or 38mm) lenses:

I love the way you took NaPoWriMo visual, is there somewhere you go into your process on it?

 

[Chazzz]

I don't think I have written anything about the process yet. But I've been thinking about writing up something on my blog. I've done NaPoMo with photos+poems for four of the last five years. Last year, I only did the first day:

I have done the challenge in the past, but only with poetry, not photos. Love the idea.
