From the back seat- 28/1.4

 

Thanks Roger-

Another 28/1.4

 

to be fair, only one of these is wide open, but i did not want to split them up
doing a little work with that 135mm f2, this is a 1/24 scale die cast muppet themed sprint car, nascar did these a few years ago, at each race one driver would have a muppet paint scheme and they would release a 1/24 , i have all but the drag bike, that's very hard to find and stratospheric in price
this is a world of outlaws sprint car driven in this scheme by danny "the dude" lasoski

I was too tired last night to go find anything interesting to shoot-



Now I just need to figure out which 50mm's are the 'keepers'

50mm f1.2 AIS
50mm f1.4 AFD
50mm f1.4 HSM

 

28/1.4 on the FE

 

Thanks Roger- I am really enjoying shooting film the last week or so. ; One more same setup...

50mm F1.8. ; I was going for a moody look, trying to play on the idea of Gianna here staring intently out the window, apparently longing for the ability to venture into the outside world to hunt wild game.
