Petzval lens, street life in Edmonton. Finally got out of my little four acre world yesterday for some photography. This winter has been a long one and like many I am sure I never ventured to far from home !!

Had a heck of a time getting this under 500kb so please forgive some loss of quality !Feel free to see bigger version here,

Really nice juxtaposition of elements. Not sure what your f/stop was, but I might prefer a bit shallower DOF on this, i.e. a more pronounced blur on the background elements?

That is rather wide open. Such a different look from the portrait of your daughter with the same lens. I would be curious how it would look at f/1.2 like the portrait.

Unfortunately I did not think to pull the Aperture blade out and do a second shot !! Next time !

I like this a lot. You're sure having fun with the new lens. I agree with Harley regarding using a wider aperture.
