I can live with "painting with lenses" as a thread title. Would you call it "painting with lenses photography" then? Bit clumsy IMHO.





Btw. I would postulate that this type of photography may be done with about ANY type of lens, considering the placement of
the object versus its foreground/background.
Here an example using the very same tulip flower ...

Something like "Lens Painting" or "Lens Painting Photography" or "The Photography of Lens Painting" would be good enough. There needs to be some umbrella concept to collect these methods. They are coming back or coming into their own, right?

OK, "Lens Painting" or "Lens Painting Photography" shoudl do. I have added a few examples to my post above and a postulation. Would you agree?

I feel Fons is a master in the impressionistic style and he has got quite a collection of old Nikkors which do the trick.

Yes, I would have to agree  :)

That 35 1.4 looks great! Probably has something to with the man behind the camera as well ;)
