Shadows & shapes

The often repeated "fast lenses being useful for shooting low light scenes" is a fallacy unless you are taking a shot that utilises the look of a shallow DOF or the scene is flat.

 

Personally for scenes that has depth, the longer the focal length, any faster than f2.8 is kind of pointless and I'm better off shooting on tripod and stopping down the lens.

 

Taken with FE 55mm f1.8 ZA at f2.2, the so-called "CA monster" (regurgitated ad nauseam) for those who are clueless on how to utilise their tools.

 

The scene was partially illuminated by the headlights of a vehicle outside the frame.

 

Meanwhile the Z7 has been out for a while, been checking the Z7 Flickr groups hoping to be inspired but oddly, nothing much really jumps out. Not sure what's going on, is it the gear or the user? I suppose it is safe to say that any gear released over the past few years is more than capable of taking decent pictures, in the right hands.

 

Some recent talk of Canon bringing out their Gen 2 FF mirrorless 70+mp with IBIS.
