One of the advises (among others, but the other were not so important I guess) my brother gave me when I came to him complaining that there is no bokeh, its shit and a scam in general and that the lens is not as good as he said, was to go shoot in the afternoon when the sun is lower. Shooting in noon with the harsh bright sun is no good.
Well... he was right.
This time :)
The colours are softer and bokeh is to die for!
It is all there as it should be and I am almost sure if I had more time before the sunset I would do better too.
This one has those nice sepia shades. And no it is not my editing. I did not change the colours. They were there. I did adjust the contrast though.
This is a shot I took in the same spot, but during the daytime.
And into the tunnel...
And the day was done.
Bonus song for today:
Thirty Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie
year 2005
...Such a beautiful lie to believe in
Shot with Sony a7R + Helios 40-2 lens
All photos and text are my own.
Very beautiful photos!
Thank you :)
👍
Your brother didnt lie, but if he did it, it was a beautiful lie :)
#beautiful
Haha spot on :D
#BroccolieCookie
#BroccoliCookie is the yummiest lie... ever 🥦 :))
Amazing photos, the bokeh is stunning. 🥰😁Beautiful @ewkaw… glad he suggested to go out when the sun was low.
He knows a thing or two about photography :)
Thank you! This is the bokeh I was looking for.
Always great to have knowledge close by for advice 😉
You are welcome 🤗 it’s stunning.
Beautiful! Nice puctures
Thank you :)
😍 the champagne of bokehs.
Booze!
:D
Very delicate and pretty! A lovely set of photos. :)
Thanks a lot :)
These Were Minimal Yet Beautiful ❤, Surprised To See An Almost Sepia Image Without Any Grading Done, Bokehs Are Always Spectacular During Sunsets And Are Really Fun To Play Around If You Have An Interesting Subject ✨
Oh yea.. the effect with sunset is amazing! And completely different colours than during the day.
Bokeh-sucker alert!! 😍 I love, love, love some good bokeh and yours with the Helios lens are gorgeous. Kind of funny coincidence - I also just posted bokeh shots a couple of days ago. Must be the spring in the air 🤗
Ohhh bokeh sucker hi5 ✋
I don't have enough of it. Ever. :D
I agree. Let's start a 'bokeh hunter contest' - hahahaha
The shot is awesomely awesome.
It expresses calmness, beauty etc.
It pictures generally speak a whole lot.
Nice one @ewkaw
Thanks a lot!
