Continuing the exercise in photography, the Zeiss 50mm f/1.8

I am retroactively posting this, i.e. this is back-dated. Sadly I must have run out of time, something came up, etc, when writing this.

Continuing from my initial experiments with the Rollei mount Zeiss 50mm f/1.8, here was the rest of my weeks photos. Was a fun experiment, the lens is remarkably sharp for something 40 years old and uncoated. The challenge required that all photos be taken on my old 20D crop body, all in jpeg with any and all color changes (i.e. sepia, saturation effects) be done on body. This made things more challenging, but I do like the results I got.

Manly exhaust!

I hope to do weekly/monthly theme photo challenges in the coming year, i.e. where I pick a theme (say mechanical things, a color, or a particular type of lens) and run with it for a month. We’ll see if time permits. I’m bad enough at processing the photos I take as is.
