Whats with the weird white Halo on the right Cork ?

It happened in Photoshop when I tried to increase the brightness a bit using the Shadows/Highlights dialog. I thought it made the cork stand out a bit more, because the original had such low contrast.

I got the new Sigma 35mm 1.4 recently and just waiting to do my next wedding shoot on the 22nd with it so for now, random imagery with it, all taken at f1.4:

Couple more

Just look at this sharpness on the LCD (M) (click for 100%)

Even pictures of pictures are sharp at 1.4 :)

wow that is tack sharp! Nice and creamy bokeh too ! me jelly!

I got it for ?535 from onestopdigital for anyone interested, obviously no UK warranty as it's imported but "if" it breaks I'll just pay Fixation for repair although I've had no issues with the 85mm 1.4 from from Sigma which was also imported yet :)

It's ?700~ in the UK.

Naw :( Honduras, Central America. importing here costs easily %40 or more because of taxes.

What was the F-Stop and Exposure? Mine turn out..... not that well haha.

f2.5 for 5 secs, ISO 3200; colours were whack (the 28mm for long exposures gets all orange-y... annoying!) so it was adjusted in Lightroom - essentially auto WB, knock down exposure a stop, blacks -100, darks on tone curve -60. It's hard to get stars in focus with no lights to see the focal distance, and with a lens hood as the tripod to prop it up :p

Newest additions from the Sigma 35mm, all f1.4 :D

What a terrible terrible lens! :p. It'll be $1000 in Canada when it's available.... hmmmmm.

Perhaps one of these Santa's will buy me one

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
