Playing Around with the 45 ts-e

I spent Father's day tinkering with my new to me 45 ts-e. I traded it from a 90 ts-e and this is a more usable focal length for me. Here are a few shots, some also taken with the Sigma 85.

1.

Nice work. The last two are particularly fresh.

VERY nice!! Wish I had to cash to get one of these! I especially LOVE the last two!

Thanks guys!

I like #2 and the last two.

Very nice, makes me miss my 45 ts-e.

Thanks twiggy and alpha, yeah, I realize this could be a pretty good walk around lens.

very cool effect and great pics. LOVING the colors and details in your pics. Briefly, what are you doing in post?

Thanks Peter, I appreciate it alot. I usually convert my files in LR. I would say more than half the time, my camera wb is set to "cloudy" to warm things up. Usually do some minor adjustments in LR then move the file to PS where most of my processing is done. Most of my processing is just a layer mask with either a medium contrast or soft light adjustment masking the people. Then I process the people separately so they don't look over done. I run it thru a high pass filter for selective sharpening. Sometimes I add a filter layer to create a mood. I'm actually flattered you're asking me this, haha

thx for the tips, the cloudy wb and processing people separately...so simple but effective, really makes your scenery pop!

The last two are amazing!

Thanks again Peter! Thanks Nick!

Very nice. This reminds me of getting out and use my 45 ts-e more .

The wall color in #5 is awesome.
