I was browsing some older images looking for a shot to process with that new RAW Shooter converter and decided to use a basic snapshot of my son taken in the shade. I wanted to process it because it was taken with my favorite lens - the 85 1.4. I had low expectations for this shot but I must say the 85 surprised me (the raw converter surprised me too - it's FAST and free - two good features).
This lens seems to pull every drop of light out of the scene and make it shine - even in the shade.
It's also pretty sharp considering it was shot at 1.8. I'm convinced there are flat snapshots and snapshots with some pop - the difference being the glass.
BTW, the processing I did was a small WB tweak, mild eye sharpening, levels and a curve for mid tone contrast.
D2h & 85 1.4 @ 1.8 (EV +1/3):
BTW, I think posting on this board is different than DPR. Here I must use the "original" size in pbase to avoid strange artifacts.
Thanks for looking, comments always welcome.
