Zeiss 135mm f2 lens black and white photos

Some pictures are worth 1000 words… this one is only worth one, cold. You can feel how cold it is outside in this image. This was taken very late at night with only the light of a single streetlamp. The wind was howling and everyone escaped the cold into their warm apartments for the night. It’s a very simple composition so I had to fight the tendency to start increasing the exposure to get a brighter image, but that immediately took the feeling away from the photo. This is exactly how it looked to my eye, and that’s what I love to capture in every photo I take.

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.
