The gorilla picture would have been better with more depth of field, would you want to see a human portrait with his entire nose and lips blurred to make the ‘humanity’ link?
not necessarily, that’s just your opinion, hot shot.
I agree with everyone above. The eyes are what really entrance me though
I agree it looks fine the way it is, there’s no rule that says everything MUST be in focus. Silly.
I thought the same thing
I do like the picture the way it is, but yes, I would find it even better with more DOF, too. Then again, there are excellent human portraits which make similar use of extremely thin DOF.
What I do dislike, though, is the “good animal, evil human” attitude in the photographer’s comment. Of course it’s true, seen as a whole species, that homo still does not act like it deserves the self-given sapiens attribute even in the 21st century. On the other hand, what problems does the gorilla have to deal with compared to humankind? Except, of course, being an endangered species, threatened by extinction from man-made causes …
more in focus would have been great, but it still is a very nice shot.
Charles Brooks, “Heart of the Galaxy”, what an inventive use of the Samyang fisheye, well done.
And that is to what Olympus is targeting with its coming 8mm f/1.8 fisheye.
I have to say this photo would have been much easier with 1.8 instead of 3.5… I spent a lot of work on noise reduction. But I don’t think I’ll buy the Olympus… I’m more interested in this upcoming Voigtlander 10mm 0.95 for this kind of photography. That lens should let the m43s really compete well with the bigger sensors astrophotography (wide galaxy shots at least).
Samyang is doing fine. Still the 1.8 oly-fish could be on many divers’ wishlist.
And the rendering of the skin in the first picture is really pleasant (as well as the shapes of course).
Is the moon really that big with a 19 mm lens… ? But I guess fair enough, if that’s how you see it. And the moon sure subjectively looks gigantic at times.
Well, that’s weird, i was just wondering why we didn’t see Ulli here much lately. Just found out he suddenly passed away on Jan.15. Heart failure.

Really?
Yes. Here’s an obituary. In Dutch, but i guess with google translate you can get the idea.

He was only 49. And he had two sons. Really sad.
That’s so sad. I miss his comments.
🙁 this is so sad, he was a good one. Thanks for letting us know.
His always friendly contributions will be missed
I’m new to this community. What unfortunate news to read. But it’s heart-warming to see people care as much as you guys do for him.
He always seemed a hail fellow well met.
Jesus, what a shame.
OMG what sad news! We got used to him he is like family..Its crazy scary how one day you are here and the next you are gone. RIP dear friend, he will surely be missed..and yes he always commented on the photo submission threads.. 🙁 They images are nice this week, but I cannot appreciate them!
Maybe we should post an wall of honor with just his work he contributed to this page.
yeah maybe next week admin could post his work instead of the submitted photos.Can someone tell him? Actually he was a talented comics drawer too, didnt know that until now.
I also never knew about that. It seems he was actually more famous for his comics than for his his model photography work..? Yes, OK, I will send a message to admin and some links.
Ok cool. Thanks BdV 🙂
The admin said he will post a news message about Ulli after the em5II stories.
Oh no! I loved reading his contributions and enjoyed his photographic work.
So very sad…
the first photo is horrible. low taste and does not represent the 43 community at all.
Agree with you. Also really nothing special on Ron Nabity’s image. There are so many better pictures and more voted images on FB’s page. Didn’t get admin selection this time.
