Title: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar f1.4 50mm and the Enchanted Forest
Post by: Dr Klaus Schmitt on October 17, 2018, 09:25:27

A lens from an old 16mm film camera (AK16). Location is Rhein River Park and Reissinsel, Mannheim, Germany, my "Enchanted Forest"...

And my hommage to Caspar David Friedrich...

The images, especially the landscapes, look like the oil paintings of Barbizon school.  Very nice!

I particularly like §1, it seems as if it is an oil painting.

Ha, beautiful.  I like especially the first one.  That reminds me most of Caspar David Friedrich ;)

Nice, especially the first. Reminds me of this shot I took with the Otus 28mm and the Nikon D850 or D810.

Oops. Sorry! I was keying on some of the comments about the resemblance  of the photos to other styles.

Very painterly rendering and fitting post processing as well as framing and light! First image is outstanding
