The owners of this corner do wonderful things over the course of the year some of which I've posted here in the past. Saturday I had the M8 and my camera bag so I stopped on the way back from the grocery store and worked the site. This one is with a 35mm sumicron, shot wide open. I had this impressionistic idea when I sat down, maybe it's that image of poppy fields. I also tried a Noctilux but to shoot wide open I'd have had to use a neutral density filter and I don't have one to fit the Noct - although now I'm going to invest in one! I also shot with a 90mm which gave informative results but nothing I wanted to post. Learning to use these will be fun. I bought this lens from a forum member who didn't like the bokah but I think it works here... <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/L1000671-Edit.jpg> Processed in the new Lightroom 1.0 and PS3 (although I'm deleting that one from my desktop system because it REALLY screws things up and for some reason Lightroom won't let me open any other helper application for image editing than PS3...shame on that puppy! I'll write a bug report to Adobe...yada yada yada). Anyway - your thoughts would be appreciated. Adam
