imagine

Imagine an evening filled with light so perfect that it almost defies description. Light muted and soft. Nothing harsh to distract or glare. Bright enough to really see, but dim enough to create shadows with imagined things.

Imagine a green so rich that it is almost unreal. A green that could only be alive. A green only seen in spring (or, perhaps, Ireland).

Imagine water. Deep. Still. Water. Reflections of a landscape trapped within. Home to insect, fish, and bird life.

Tonight, I did not have to imagine.

spring is in the air

More messing around with the PanaLeica 25mm f1.4.

More fun with the 25.

back order this!

I am shooting part of a wedding in a couple of weekends. In order to do that, I wanted to augment my lens collection with the 25mm f1.8 from Olympus.

However, Olympus is unable to supply such a lens; I am 73 on the back order list for the lens, and time is running out.

Enter the Panasonic 25mm f1.4.

Here are a couple of samples taken with the lens wide open. Nothing special here, just a couple of snaps. More will follow once I get playing with the lens.

I do like the field of view of this lens.
