NIKON_105mm_f1.4_D5_1

This is another one of the images from the 105mm f1.4 lens shoot. The camera was the fabulous Nikon D5.

 

 

To make sure we are all on the same page, there are always two aspects to every shoot. "The Shoot" itself and the post processing to final art. This image contains just the "Shoot"

 

For "the shoot" aspect of this project no artificial light, no make-up on the subjects, no reflectors or diffusers. Just the lens. Just the camera. Just the light that was there. Just the subject. Suffice it to say I was the weakest link in the entire project.

 

When I was asked to shoot the lens I was told I could only have it for 16 days. On my travel schedule during that time fram that meant 11 actual days of being able to shoot. Five of those days were travel ays to get from here to there and back.

 

There is no image I cannot capture. There is no image in which my vision of the image and the beauty of moment that took me that is not inhaled by the beauty of the glass and lens design of the 105mm f1.4.

 

I have always held that the lens is the brush, the camera sensor is the canvas. I have also held the that the beauty of a lens is not in how well it handles focus but rather how well it handles from in focus to blur. I am by proclivity a zoom guy. For me to say what I am about to say means that one of this brushes will be staying home.This lens has a permeant place in my camera bag.

 

This has to be the sharpest lens I have ever used. It is also has the most beautiful Bokeh of any lens I have ever shot with as well.

 

So you want to know why I choose Nikon? Now you know.

Because of the D5- I AM: A Super Hero. Because of the 105mm f1.4 I AM: A Super Hero with beautiful Bokeh..

 

NOTE: I do indeed use Photoshop. It's true. ALL of my images are post processed. So there is no issue I have added the non processed image here and removed the "FINAL." I have re-uploaded the FINAL version as well. Flickr does not allow for me to move them side by side.The FINAL was the image I put first up. As a matter of course I did remove blemishes and such for my web page and for my posting to my personal sites. (flickr, Facebook etc) If you read the full description of any of my images I always list the software and hardware I use.
