w/o BG highlights in direct sunlight
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6297008&size=lg
f/1.8 1/10,000

Another with gentle BG highlights
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6297055&size=lg
f/1.8 1/6400s

And stronger BG highlights in shade
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6297064&size=lg
f/1.8 1/4,000

All with the Zeiss / Sony 135 f/1.8 (for Minolta/Sony A-mount)    on the
Maxxum 9 (Sensia 100).  (Nikon 9000 ED scanner)

I don't think I'll be able to resist the Zeiss 85 f/1.4 ...

Cheers,
Alan.

I like this one with the well lit background. Nice.
More enjoyable on film?

An 85/1.4 is probably next on my shopping list.

I was just finishing off the roll and thought I'd do some wide open
tests.  Film is nice!  And in this case, to get wide open, I had to
shoot at 1/10000 which my DSLR can't do w/o an ND...  (1/4000 max) Makes
me wish harder for K-25 or a less saturated Velvia (50).  (I also shot
this at 1/8000 but it's a bit "thick" for the scanner).

With the odd bits of breeze, having 1/10000 as a shutter speed allowed
me to wait for relative calm instead of dead calm.

Hopefully Sony will go for a 1/12000 (or 1/16000) shutter speed on the
"pro" model in 2008.  (As well as FF).

Film?  Shot a couple rolls of Sensia (35mm) and one roll of Astia 100
(Sensia in reality, just marketed as a pro film and kept in the fridge).

Esp. for full frame shooting.  I'll try to hold off until the new year,
but it ain't easy!

Cheers,
Alan.

I would think that at 1/10000 you could shoot in gale force winds
without blurring.

Yes. - Even the average bullet only goes about 4 inches in a 10,000th of a
second.

6297064 is attractive but I was distracted by the white (flowers?)
spots in the BG. Think about cloning them out?
