Creamy Bokeh

ByBenoist

The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II is now my favorite lens and seldom leaves my X-H1: well built, sharp where the focus is done, soft creamy bokeh in other areas, perfect color cast. It reminds me of the 50mm/f1.2L that I had on my 5Dmk3: only smaller, sharper and easier to use (with focus peaking). If you want images with an amazing bokeh and can deal with manual focus, go for it. It’s so good that I’m seriously thinking of getting rid of my 56mm/f1.2 APD ! Below, just a few samples from the last weekend.

HDR photography, when used with parsimony, is a powerful tool to enhance a photo with too strong highlights and too dark shadows. Working with RAW you only need to boost the shadows and decrease the highlights. No need for multiple exposures as long as you’re working with a decent camera.

The Sazaedo Pagoda in Aizu Wakamatsu is particularly interesting because of its double helix ramp, which allows visitors to go up and down without passing each others. Think of it as a DNA strand with the two ramps interlacing each other within the same cylinder – remarkable.
