DSC00149-Enhanced-NR-Edit

With thanks to Veronica. I held onto my lovely old Nikon F1.2 and partnered it with a tilt mount for the Sony. This camera is only 12 megapixels!!!!! It's a lovely little camera and I have a review of it coming soon.

There's a video from this incredible camera and lens combo: youtu.be/YQv12Q10rzA. please comment, like and follow and I will return the compliment on your YT channel.

DSCF2055-Edit. The lens is the amazing Samyang F1.2 which covers the GFX sensor. The bokeh here is generative fill.


Background created with Yongnuo standard strobe shot through Ikea lampshade mounted on two tripods via clothes pegs, camera left @ approx 1/16th and slightly behind Olha - pointing at her, the lavender and the wall. In front of Olha and to cam immediate left is a ring light (constant).

Sometimes I stare up at the ceiling and gaze in wonder at our DIY Ikea lampshade. It has a repeat pattern series of semi circular cut outs and casts this amazing shadow on the ceiling which looks like a human iris. And after some short thought, I bought a second copy intending to use it on a fashion shoot.

I finally got round to using it as a gobo on this shoot. So, the Yongnuo bog standard strobe was positioned to fire through the lampshade mounted on two tripods via clothes pegs, camera left @ approx 1/16th and slightly behind Olha - pointing at her, the lavender and the wall. In front of Olha and to camera immediate right is a ring light (constant). Because I am not shooting through it, you are not capturing the trademark ring light, (but it does feature on others). You can find other tech info on the right.

DSCF1172-Edit

We had a great shoot in London just before Christmas with Francesca, but one thing that troubled with this image and why I spent quite a while in PS/LR was the palette. Here was a -mainly- pink dress on a mainly carpet of yellow leaves with strong green, orange, blue and yellow notes of winter sun in the background. On the day, the carpet of leaves was too alluring, and I knew as I was shooting that only photoshop and/or Lightroom could save the day. So, I have gone for a slightly muted palette behind and allowed only mainly greens (sort of complimentary) to come to the fore. Fairly cold conditions so kudos to Francesca for shooting in fairly thin material.
