What appears to be, on the face of it Niall Mackenzie's old Cadbury's Boost Yamaha - or at least a replica.
Now, like everyone else I would be reluctant to admit that I get persuaded to buy consumer products as a result of advertising or sponsorship. But on the way home, an hour or two after I took this, I stopped for some petrol (or gasoline) and needed a snack as I hadn't eaten anything for several hours, since breakfast....and guess what I picked up off the shelf???
As the sun began to set, the final beams of light picked their way through the clouds and stretched across the land. This tree was illuminated at the top of a small rise in a field. As I was driving past I had been looking for something that would catch the light, be it a barn, a tree or even an empty field. I pulled the car in and climbed over a few fences to get close with my 50mm and snapped this shot. I also remembered two important lessons; always have a camera and some wellies in the car. Glad I got one right.
Thanks to a rise in the field the sun light just managed to reach this lonely tree. I've seen this quality of light a few times but on those occasions didn't have my camera, on this one I did.
Edited in Lightroom 3, contrast curve and boosted the already present vignette. Tried a few cropping options including a square crop to isolate the tree but preferred to leave it at this.
Nikon D3 + 50mm (f1.4 G AF-S)
My G5 with Metabones Speed Booster and Minolta MC Rokkor 58mm f1.4. Turning the lens into a 41mm f1.0!
Carl Merriam, one of the co-designers of the new LEGO Ideas Saturn V set, gives an entertaining view of the new LEGO Boost theme. We had a chance to play with Vernie the expressive robot and Frankie the harmonica playing cat. Frankie loves cuddles and will purr or squawk depending on your cat carrying technique.
Bought this Sony E-mount to Nikon F mount 'lens booster' off Ebay (this one also has an aperture ring to work with newer 'G' type lenses as well). Attached is the Nikon E-series 50/1.8.
Similar to the Metabones 'booster', this one supposedly makes the 50/1.8 behave like it would mounted on a full-frame sensor (close to original FoV & 'effective' DoF), basically turning my NEX-3N into a RX1 (but with a 50/1.8 instead of a 35/2).
Testing to follow.
