Japanese Bokeh Garden
Normally I love working in PP to create something beyond what is capable in a single exposure, but in this case something about everything in the shot keeps me coming back to it, as shot in camera (even though I have a feeling it won't get much of a reception in the thumbnail world of flickr). I think the DOF, the color rendering and the composition just really do it for me. I really can't tell you how much I'm loving my 50mm 1.2. It is a bit quirky with AF due to the razor thin focal plane, but the way it looks wide open is something I have never seen before, it has so much character that I'm starting to be abel to pick out shots done with it from other photographers in magazines or on the web. The new 5D can correct the vignetting, but I love it some much (in most cases) that I actually turn off the correction (I do leave the in camera CA correction on, although the CA's wide open on this lens are remarkably well controlled especially considering the f1.2)
This is just a capture I did in the Japanese tea garden in SF. My kit now only includes a 5D mkiii, the 50mm 1.2 and the 14mm 2.8. I have found that simplifying to these two primes has really improved my sense of composition and creativity a lot over the past few weeks. I find that with my 50 (and now shooting FF) that I am much more excited to take my camera everywhere, and now I see why most 35mm camera's shipped with a 50mm. Also, because both lenses are such high quality glass I'm getting really pleasing rendering, bokeh and sharpness, which is always a plus.
