Welcome Spring
thought i should spring back to basics and strap on the 50mm 1.4
to see the world around me tight and intimate

electronica band Kong, 1 fill flash irradecent gel, 2 secs
Image

Love the bokeh on the 50 1.4, i can just imagine living inside it. ISO200 50/100 f1.4
Image

Patricia Piccinini – Unbreaking Eggs show at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery
Image

more alcohol, f1.4 50/100 ISO200
Image

On the way back thought i should try out a low light shot while walking shutter set to 60, blurry but nice and sweet
Image

looking back at the last image set the shutter to 125/100, f1.4, ISO300, whitebalance 5200K, aahh much more clear, but i couldn't say the same for my head.
Image

2 secs feature glass table with light, just shake the camera around
Image

Taken with flash, set the shutter to 400/100 the SB800 to 1/28, on the d2x you can overide the max shutter flash sync from 250 to a much higher setting, higher shutter speeds produce darker images the flash balances it out and your left with a nice high contrast shot.
Image

next week flowers and lots of them

Thanks for posting the pics and exif data up on this series. I learn a bit from it. I like the long shutter shots. Why in #1 is there a red and a blue squiggle in the middle of the frame? What is that?

Hi

I am glad our learning something

the red and blue squiggle is a light trail that originated from the red and blue LED on the mixer device

a 3 second exposure captures all light and movement representaed as blurs or light streaks if the camera moves, in this case i just pressed the shutter and quickly jerked around the camera. The movement can be traced back by the loook of the squiggle.
for long exposures set the fstop high and keep the ISO at it's lowest so the image won't become overexposed

Wendell - I always look forward to your shots - I am not a fan of the wiggly lights but then you have the pic of the girl out of focus - excellent. :D

Excellent work, Wendellt. Each of your images is original and represents a different style.
