comments welcome as always
I know this is ironic coming from me, but...
I'm not a huge fan of soft focus lenses (okay, all lenses are soft
focus in my hands, you're thinking). I don't dislike all soft focus
shots, but I find your nature shots don't work for me - I can't say
why, other than to say I don't like them. That's not a reflection of
your photography, it's simply a personal bias.
The band shots do work, however. There's a nice ethereal feel to them
that I like. I think they're just good photos, and would have worked
very well if they were sharp, but with the soft focus there's an added
something that gives them more "personality"...
cheers,
frank
I don't mind the comments at all, Frank. I'm not a natural nature
photographer myself. And as Ken says, there is probably a bit to much of
a "good thing" in those ones. I'll just keep plugging away.
BTW, at f8 and f11, the F85 soft is a pretty sharp performer. Might try
a few more of those.
