What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

Excellent word­craft from press releases of an optics-expert com­pany, Carl Zeiss:

Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2/28: The Expert for Half-light

The break­ing dawn is a spe­cial time for pho­tog­ra­phers. When the early-morning sun reluc­tantly chases away the still-glistening dew on the trees, this del­i­cate tran­si­tion between night and day cre­ates moments of calm and antic­i­pa­tion. But with­out a tri­pod at hand, these shots will only suc­ceed with a lens that can han­dle intense light.

Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2/35: A New Lens Takes Center Stage

A squir­rel nim­bly scam­pers along a moss-covered tree trunk. It has made a promis­ing dis­cov­ery amongst the fallen leaves of an oak tree. A deer emerges from the half dark­ness of the woods. A pho­tog­ra­pher doc­u­ments the win­ter prepa­ra­tions of var­i­ous wood­land crea­tures. This requires a ver­sa­tile, high-speed, easy to con­fig­ure lens that pro­duces razor-sharp images of the details and the entire scenery.

Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2,8/21: Perfect Lighting For Dramatic Perspectives

Dusk is falling in Manhattan, and a swarm of com­muters on their way home is hur­riedly cross­ing the street toward Grand Central Station. Behind them, the sky­scrap­ers reflect the golden light of the set­ting sun. To cap­ture this unique atmos­phere, pho­tog­ra­phers need a fast wide-angle lens.

I could do this all day, so let’s wrap it up before I get sued, but allow me to share this final clas­sic bit 120 Years of Lenses from Carl Zeiss:

They’ve been to space; they’re Hollywood favorites; and they’ve been the con­stant com­pan­ions of demand­ing pho­tog­ra­phers around the globe for 120 years.

The release lists Nicole Balle of Camera and Cine Lenses as the edi­to­r­ial con­tact, it may, or may not be that some­one is work­ing with her, who­ever it is — thank you and kudos for mak­ing the press releases human again.
