R1410_VV__0475_IP POST PROCESSED by VV

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 both aspects and is the outcome of the post processing this is a copy of that final file.

 

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.

 

this is from the very first shoot on the very first day I was blessed to have this lens. Because God knows I like a challenge...... Let's shoot with a prototype lens that you have never ever shot with, hand held, an choose as your first subject an extremely happy baby, right after a nap with an extremely shallow depth of field! All I can say is thank God for Nikon's amazing 3D follow focus with face recognition And thank God for 12 fps and a 200 shoot buffer when shooting RAW in frame waster mode. Talk about being taken by your subject to take a photograph. I truly just held on and was pulled through the camera!

When asked what is the best light W. Eugene Smith said "Why the best light is available light and by available light I mean any damn light that is available." Works for me

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 permanent place in my camera bag.

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 enhanced by the beauty of the glass and lens design of the 105mm f1.4.

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/D500- 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. Have been since version 1. Most inspired piece of software ever written. I was employee number 2 of Niksoftware (colorefex, SilverEfex) and employee number 6 of Altamira Group (the inventor of Genuine Fractals) so yes I do also use plug-ins. So if you are viewing an image on my personal pages, website and sundry feeds. They are all post processed if I put them up.

 

To be very crystal clear ALL of my images that I are post processed.

 

So that this non issue is no issue I have re-added my "FINAL" version. To MY personal sites. I think the issue really is you don't like my editing. OK. No offense but I do. I sign my name to everything I do. First and last.

 

I always make it a point, If you read the full description of any of my images, I always list the software and hardware.
