[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]George, this is the first time I have posted this one. It was such a boring shot it never made it to the scanner before. I just picked it on the light box for the example. The others I have before, and some others since culled from my gallery. You are kind to remember. No tonal manipulation at all as it's meant to be an example. The only other thing I can think of is that it was not with the 28. That would only leave it as the 50 summicron or my 90 Elmarit M. I guess the fifty is possible. It just looks to be the 28 to my eye and that lens was largely permanently attached on that particular excursion. I was shooting from a boat and using (with the 28) an external finder and estimated focus using the inherent DOF. What do you think, could this be the fifty? I'm back delving into the archives now. No exif data in Velvia!

When I originally saw this image (back when you first posted it) I assumed that you'd manipulated the corners. I wonder if it is possible for vignetting to vary according with individual specimens - seems unlikely.
