nice choice of focus on these. What lens is this? I'm loving the DoF

Ugh. Got to shoot more fashion later this afternoon. I'm not feeling it today at all. I would rather be shooting bugs or something out on a trail somewhere. I really hate it when I get into these funk moods.

I feel you Crane, sometimes it's a challenge to do something you love and something you have to do for money at the same time. I haven't felt like snapping pics of anything lately..just been in a rut really. I hope it goes well, and I'm sure once you get in there shooting things will get better.

Yesterday I went to the jazz lawn party at Governors Island. My friends and I dressed up like Gatsby/1920s. Fun time!

A few shots.


















Bill Cunningham!!

Here's a short behind the scenes video of the shoot I just did. My lowndes give away that I'm an SFer lol.

And for anyone wondering about cost of insurance for your equipment against damages, theft, whatever, wherever - if you aren't using your camera for business then it only runs about 1 dollar per 100 worth of equipment for a year. That's under your home insurance. So 5000 worth of gear only costs about 50 a year. So please get insured if you aren't! There's really no excuse not to at those prices.

Really great, shooting an ex-BSB is quite cool. I'm curious what the pictures will look like, let us now when we can find them somewhere online.

I've taken a short trip to Basel before picking my gf up from the train station on Friday. The combination of open-air cinema and life jazz festival resulted in a lot of crowded or blocked places. But I've found a place where I want to go to take a picture of the city at night in the coming week if I can manage to remind it. Here some random stuff I considered nice:

mellow and Szeph, looks like a fun time. I guess jazz festivals are going on all over the world this time of year.

And my favorite:

last one is very nice! Great focus..is this the 1.2?

 

[Szeph el raton]

I don't think so, Bokeh looks somewhat "artificial" to me. Is it a HDR or some form of exposure blend?

 

[Krp480]

Thanks il, it is with the 1.2, I don't remember if it was at 1.2 then though, but yes it is HDR. No there isn't any artificial bokeh though.

It was shot at 1.8 looking at my exif.

 

[Szeph el raton]

Wow, it was really looking more like film grain in the bokeh area which led me to believe it was somehow artificially modified. You should do a lot more pictures with that lens or at least post a lot more of them

I just finished reading "Night Photography: Finding your way in the dark" and just had to try it out. But I'm now 110% convinced that i need a tripod.

Ah, I see what you mean. Well, I have only gotten the lens a couple of days ago, so I have a bunch of time to keep taking pictures with the lens !

I must say though, do NOT get a cheap tripod. Invest in a really good one, trust me I am using a cheap $70 lens and the thing is a *************. I am going to invest in a $300 one soon (hopefully it is worth the money), but with long exposures the head tends to shake and give a blurred image. So even if you aren't that great at photography no matter who you are a good tripod is a must. If it helps I think I narrowed down my selection to this one:

Btw, those pictures are great!
