Thank you. Although I wanted to leave the figure behind blurred, I wasn't sure I could get some details from the hat. This is about all I could get. The rim had been burned out. Well, may be just as well.
Amazing lens. Must have shot it in near darkness. It seems the middle-to-back are in focus, but the foreground is selective blurred. Is that how the 50 Lux works?
Thank you. "Monkey King goes West" has always been popular. West here means India - to get the original Buddhist sutras - and the legendary trip took place around 100 AD. I took this pic to bring out the graduated lighting of the ceiling-sized decor.
Thank you. The morning sunlight made a diff to an otherwise dull scene. Shot at 2.8, I focused on the violins on the wall; this threw the cello at the bottom out of focus, but enough to do a job.
