Beached…

By using a tilt/shift lens I could control depth of field differently to with a conventional lens. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, TS-E 24mm f/3.5L, tripod Exposure: ISO400, 1/50s @ f/3.5, +1EV Post: Reduced exposured, added vignette

Tradesman

My son in 2003 showing Dad how to wield the tools. Although digital has come a long way, this D60 (not 60D) image has held up pretty well. Hardware: Canon EOS D60, Tokina 24-70mm f/2.8 Exposure: ISO400, 1/640s @ f/4, 47mm (eft. 75mm) Post: Not much.

Grenade

Shooting in a museum where flash is prohibited is tough, but modern DSLRs are actually pretty good at it.A fast fifty is the go. My EF 50mm f/1.4 is a great lens, but the depth of field is sooooo narrow. Hardware: EOS 1D MkIIN, EF 50mm f/1.4 Exposure: ISO400, 1/50s @ f/1.4, 50mm (65mm eft.)Continue reading “Grenade”

Christmas Bike

All around Australia Toy Runs are happening, where motorcyclists gather and give presents to charity for redistribution to those in need. Some riders go all out. Hardware: Olympus EP-1, 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Exposure: ISO100, 1/10s @ f/19, 14mm (28mm eq) Post: Nothing of note.

Mossy Bench

One from the archives – probably shot with my Olympus C-1, my first digital camera, shot mid-2003. The EXIF data has gone missing. Made monochrome with Aperture 3.

Haunted?

Using a tilt/shift lens to corrct the vertical lines and making this monochrome has made it look amost haunted. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D MkII, TS 24mm f/3.5, polarising filterExposure: ISO125 1/640s @ f/5.6, -0.33EVPost:

The Taste of Summer

The taste of summer. Using f/5 has given this image enough depth of field but still retained good background bokeh. Hardware: Canon EOS 1D MkIIN, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Exposure: ISO200, 1/500th @ f/5, -0.33EV, 160mm (Effective 196mm) Post: Crop, definition, sharpen.
