Remember contact sheets? Indispensable in the days of analog photography, obsolete when shooting digital. I was cleaning out my closet (remember that song?:) and came across a box of old negatives and contacts. There is something magical about the process of analog photography, don’t get me wrong, I am not a sentimental guy, more after the break Read the rest of this page >>
Model of the day: Lee Greene: Camera of the Day: Sony Alpha SLT A77
Read the rest of this page >>
The A77 might just be the most versatile SLR SLT camera currently available.
I am totally addicted to the EVF (Same goes for the A65), 100% coverage, ability to see/judge/change exposure, lighting setup and focus peaking are extremely useful visual aids. The studio is a great place for this high resolution sensor to show off!
Once Upon A Time In Brooklyn: Soma editorial: Canon 5D mark II
A simple clip about the romantic chemistry between our models Read the rest of this page >>
The 5D mark II is still king when it comes to shallow depth of field, first time I used my trusty 24 105mm kit lens in a fashion shoot (24 70mm is in the shop) , kept it wide open and the results are impressive. Of course I also used my my 50mm 1.2 (still my favorite lens for the 5D2) and the fantastic Zacuto EVF. Focusing was a breeze with the 50mm, due to the smaller aperture a bit difficult at times with the kit zoom, especially at the wide end. I do like the 105mm at the tele end for close ups. 70mm can be too short for good close ups. Photos after the break
