WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day with the Noctilux. I’m shooting a bit wider with it today, taking multiple images and sticking. The lens has a lot of vignetting at f.95. This isn’t a flaw – it results from the laws of physics applied to very fast lenses. Before stitching I correct for the vignetting and then add it back after stitching.
Day 2417 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 591): Field photographed with a digital Hasselblad. It was made from nine separate images that were focus stacked. I subsequently gave up medium format in favor of my Leica Monochrom because the Monochrom makes black and white images at least as good as medium format (although I haven’t compared it to the current crop of 100 meg cameras), and I prefer the Leica’s rangefinder viewing and its form factor. The original was in color and drab (wildflowers are a bit subtle sometimes); the conversion to black and white below is more successful.
