Plessey Woods Abstract
Posted by Alex Nichol in Photography ~
Abstracts from Plessey Woods in Northumberland, taken on my Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the extraordinary Zeiss 50mm f1.4 T* Planar .
Whilst riddled with optical flaws and incredibly difficult to nail focus wide-open, the Planar 50mm f/1.4 renders out-of-focus areas with a magical, painterly quality.
