zeiss 135mm apo sonnar lens

It’s really difficult to get nice color out of a monotone scene, especially when the lighting is low, but this photo turned out to have a wonderful palette. The scene feels cold, but the light feels warm, and I love the composition with a man and a woman following each other on a walk to get out of the snow. The fantastic apochromatic qualities of the Zeiss 135mm f2 sonnar lens combined with the exceptional metering abilities of the Canon 1DX made this photo one of my favorites.

Zeiss 135mm f2 apo sonnar lens long exposure

Take a look at the motion of the water under the still reflections. It appears as if it was painted with several soft brush strokes under those beautiful colors, and the reflections themselves also appear to painted with a finer brush on top. This was taken with a very long exposure late at night, and it turned out so crisp and clear, but with a sense of softness because the motion of the water. I would love to see this as a medium sized canvas print, but it would also work well with a simple float frame. Taken with a Carl Zeiss 135mm APO SONNAR lens, f/11, 20-second exposure, tripod, remote trigger.
