Everyone is a photographer in these days...

It fuckin' sux...

Why do I like this snapshot?

Dunno, I just do...I hope your monitors are correctly calibrated.

85L@f1.2

Canon babe

Taken last spring. It incorporates the two best things in the world. A beautiful girl (with a nice "haircut", don't you agree?:)) and a Canon.

I had to censor it, since adsense ("provider" of google ads that are on my blog) doesn't allow to post mature/pornographic content...



EDIT: It seems like some of you can't see the image. Here's the link: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3020/img012901mr4.jpg

Without a worry in the world

Sometimes I wish I was like him. Or even that I was him. Without a worry in the world. without the enormous stress I'm facing everyday lately...

A few more 85L snapshots

I don't know why, but I like those photos in a strange way - as snapshots ofcourse. The first and main reason why I'm posting is, because I figured out you don't respond well to solely textual posts. I can understand why, after all this is a photo blog. So let's get down to it.

Yeah, that's me muthafuckaz (foto: Nikolaj Lukež). ISO 800+ 2 stops in rawshooter. Yeah baby, it's a Canon (check the post before this one, LOL):



Min dof+bokeh showoff

Sigma SD14 Hi-ISO sample

Take a look at the crop. I guess the first words out of your mouth are going to be: what the fuck is that?!?

I friend of mine took this snapshot (ISO 1600) while he was playing with the camera:


Enlarge it, it gets worse:

Sigma SD14

I just got it, so you can expect a few samples over the weekend. I'll do some on tomorrow's slo-foto workshop. And ofcourse I'll bother my friends and take a few session shots, if I'll have the time for it (yeah I work every day, even on Sunday).

I'm really looking forward to see whether foveon is just more or less a marketing trick or it really makes a difference. It's really a shame that Sigma doesn't make any fixed focal lenght portrait lenses (medium tele, 85 mm or so). I guess 18-50 2.8 macro will have to do.

First impressions: Nice big vewfinder, only 5 AF points crummed in the centre, dial with only relevant modes (P,A,S,M no P&S stupid modes eg night portrait etc), AF seems pretty fast in low light, AF assist lamp. I'll write more about IQ during the weekend. That's the most important thing anyway.
