I like to quote myself frequently and often, it makes me sound much more intelligent than I actually am.

And now back to my latest trip to Cuba….. A still photograph is called a still photograph because the picture does not move. Not because the subject is not in motion, The mission should you decide to accept it is to stop motion with stillness. So what makes one 1/25 of a second more decisive than the other 124 parts of the the second? When dit that second actually begin? In actuality photographs are captured at the speed of life. Which is neither fast or slow it is exactly in the middle. It is half-fast. So I alway recommend that you be a half-fast photographer.

 

 

These images of the ballerina Kamila Quinones Ruiz were shot at 1/4000 of a second at 2000iso using the electronic shutter feature with the 135mm Plena. The reason for these choices is that the electronic shutter is soundless, so the subject is unaware that an image is being captured and what I get is the absolute spontaneous response, 1/4000 of second afforded me the ability to record the moment from eyes closed to open and capture the lack of registration that I was pointing a camera at my subject. The Plena was chosen because of the way the lens handles tack sharp at f1.8 to smooth and creamy Bokeh. 2000iso is what allowed 1/4000 of second to happen with the available light of the moment.

 

 

The new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot and the 135mm f1.8 lens Plena. An exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and the Plena is just a visual pleasure to look through whilst I shoot.
