What Do You Thing

It looks like looking through a Kaleidescope.

Nice image Jay. How much post work did you do to this? Or was it all in teh lighting?

[J-Dogg Productions]

it was almost all lighting i just darkened then lens a bit to make it a little more orange but its not far off from the original

thanks for your comment jaedon

yea it worked great for its time but i haven't used it in a long time. been using my fz-20 which is getting pretty old too but still takes great pictures for me so i cant complain. Leica makes some great glass.

thanks for the comment trog

Like the shot, and the way the colours are caught in the lens !
However, I feel the lighter shadow on the left distracts slightly from the overall effect.
A solid dark surround would emphasise the impact of the lens and colour.
Nice effect ! :thumbsup:

interestingly j-dog i have an FZ20 as well.. he he

but old or not the 50mm 1.7 is my yardstick for lens testing sharpness.. i dont use it much cos i cant be doing with manual foucs.. but its the lens i compare everything else with..

they now fetch good money on ebay.. check it out..
