Good morning Casswen! (Bokeh from the Vivitar 24mm F2.0 has been processed with my STF-like routine.)

Here’s one with the Zeiss 135mm F1.8 at F5.6…

…and one at F1.8.

This was one heck of a striking blue dress.

More with the Vivitar 24mm F2.0.

This set isn’t as high-key as the previous one; it’s a pain to get the right brightness for all those darned LCD monitors that are too bright out of the box. Go calibrate it so you don’t get really dark prints! (I process everything on my trusty CRT monitor which matches prints.)

Of course, I can’t be going around calibrating everybody’s damn overbright monitors so I’ll have to find somewhere in between. I’d have preferred to keep my skintones where they were, expressed as near highlights instead of obvious midtones…

EXIF is included in all shots.

Oh and yes, you can click on any of the images for a larger view.
