Horse play
Sometimes an unusual perspective (camera position or mental) produces a fun image; I follow the convention of not ruling out the conventional or the unconventional. I shoot my share of boring cruft, but I also experiment and shoot for myself. I like this image because it’s fun—good enough for me.

More conventional perhaps, but this beautiful mare was so friendly that I could not resist.

I’ve made good progress on incorporating the Zeiss ZF 28/2 Distagon into Zeiss ZF Lenses. It’s a highly unusual lens and has presented more of a challenge to evaluate than even the ZF 25/2.8 Distagon.
I consider Zeiss ZF Lenses to be one of my best efforts to date. Whether are are a working pro or a budding artist, I urge you to consider Zeiss ZF Lenses purely for the insight into how various lenses perform, even if you have no immediate need or intention of buying a Zeiss ZF lens. It’s a great way to learn, and a great way to support this site.
