A first post

[js670]

Hi there,

I've been a lurker for quite some time now, reading your posts with interest and enviously admiring the great photos on here.

I thought it was about time I made my first post... I've recently bought a Zeiss Ikon; a few photos are attached, if any of you are interested! I think post-processing is my weakest skill, so any advice (or criticism) would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Jon

First of all, welcome to RFF Jon.
About your pictures, I like the first one; bad ambient lighting, but you handled quite well a difficult exposure. Two questions:
Did you use the AE program for exposure?
Which lens did you use on your ZI?
Best,
Marc

Welcome Jon. These are nice and technically difficult. I would also like
to know which lens you used. A Planar ?

Best,

Roland.

nice low light photos - i dont see any problems with post-processing. congratulations on your new camera.

Yes, challenging lighting in all three, dealing successfully with high-contrast. Welcome to the world of RF photography, and to RFF! :)

Thanks, these were taken with the AE setting on a 50mm Planar.

Aye, quite nice indeed. :) The AE on the ZI apparently works great. I guess I should use it more. haha.
