2008 Parting Shots




This image above was taken with the Contax Carl Zeiss 35-70mm wide open at f3.4. Precision focus was achieved using the live-view on the Canon 5D MK2.
While reviewing this photo on the LCD, it immediately reminded me of the photo below taken exactly 3 years ago, on 31 Dec 2005 with the Lumix LX1. How time flies!!


Went down to Boat Quay at night to catch the Samba dancers. Decided to give the EF 85L lens a good workout as it was hardly ever used. Despite being an ultra fast f1.2 lens, it could hardly get its focus under the dim lighting condition. Managed to have 2 keepers of the Samba dance and I must admit that this lens was indeed razor sharp!
