Notes: …cold wet rain actually made for the best photos of the day. Wet pavement always enhances out of focus streetlights that add to the dreamy bokeh. I like doing inside strobist shots (since there’s music and heat), but it’s never replacing environment shots with just one camera and a lens. In the time it takes to fill up my […]

Notes: Strobist shots and photos taken with just the modeling light glow from the big studio strobes. f/1.4 is 1.4 regardless of make or model. X-processed some of the images to mimic the color cast of old film that I like. Nikon+Canon+Digital Photo Pro+Nikon Capture NX+Photoshop=low res .jpg for everyone to view. Hey, that’s photography these days. 🙂

One of the images also suffers from file corruption (a fitting transition into the […]

Notes: All the images are screengrabs (D90 Movies) from a few weeks ago at our local Korean coffee shop with ai Thavisouk…I’ve wanted to do this type of documentary work for awhile now, just gathering some like minded people and sitting them in front of the camera. Granted the environment wasn’t the most serene, but when a […]

Technical Notes: Random tests of the Nikon 85mm f/1.4, first impressions are: it’s not as versatile as the 105mm 2.8 VR Micro for portraits, definitely not as sharp wide open, and the minimum focus distance is limiting, but the bokeh is quite “painterly.” DOF is so shallow at 1.4 that you can definitely “buzz” a person […]
