I love it so much, I am actually considering the blasphemous thought of dumping FF nikon all together and going mirrorless! - not yet... the moment a fuji ultra-wide becomes available
New series of work in an editorial style shoot. I really enjoyed shooting and color grading this. But I suppose we all do when they're personal projects.
Ty! It happened rather quick. There were two older guys hogging the center of the ledge, they didn't realize what was going on, they were busy talking about some irrelevant matter and taking pictures of the ceiling with some point and shoot (they were just casual tourists). The couple were invisible, no one really noticed them, when I saw them pose dead center (their photographer being below me), I quickly set the camera, rudely nudged those two guys out of the way "excuse me sir, you dont need this spot, do you?!", let the camera rest on the ledge, and I took 3 1-second pictures. the first came out perfect. The second came out well, and the third was a failure. It was all over then, they moved and carry on.
I didnt realize how well it turned out till I got home days later. (The picture is a composite of the 2 images that came out well)
Not my best work, but I decided to try my hand at some street photography (a new genre for me) today in the snow.
Nikon D90, 50mm F/1.4D
And of course, an obligatory picture of the car in the snow...
Not my best snow pictures. I'm a bit rusty, haven't had much time for my photography hobby lately. This one is probably my best in the snow (reached explore on Flickr a couple of years back) but I'll leave it as a link only, as it is by no means a 2014 shot
Been on a couple camping and biking trips so I'll get some up here but here is one from last weekend camping at Mt Pinos Mt Pinos Sunset by ZJChaser, on Flickr
Also, I don't want to hog too much space, but I want to show off a couple shots from the annual Ice Races. This is the first year I've been present for them and I've never photographed anything like this before. They're held on the ice of Lake Michigan. There are four days of races with one held each consecutive weekend. I missed the first, but made it to the second and third (third was a night race) and there's one more this coming Saturday.
Thanks! Focus was outpacing my skills, but then those are in short supply. I did have some trouble in the middle of the races when so much snow was up in the air you could barely make out the cars; I didn't have any issues when the same thing happened during the day races so I'm curious if it was a combination of the snow and the lights they had set up diffusing through it. I switched to manual focus for that period and switched back once it cleared some. I also could have raised the iso more as well, but I was trying to see how low I could push the shutter and adequately keep pace with the cars; that gave me a nice challenge.
It was a lot of fun; ended up behind the camera from roughly 6:00-11:30 that night.
