Background Works

Just testing the Summicron 90/2 which I intend to be using for a series of portraits later this year.

It has a reputation for producing excellent bokeh. Certainly some of these backgrounds are interesting. I’ve done very little post-processing

Canary Wharf

Some views of the bankers across the river

Thames Path

Mainly down by the breakers

These were taken at shutter speeds of 1/60 and below, most at 1/30. I don’t think I could handhold an SLR with a fast 90 lens successfully/consistently at 1/30
