Singapore Harbors

I haven't been shooting much lately :( But hopefully that will change since I'm going to be carrying my film camera around with me now, and I'll be getting a 100mm f/2 lens for my Canon on Wednesday.

Sorting old archives... and noticing interesting pictures =)!

Rule of thirds

Haven't been taking many pictures since I've been only moving stuff around :/

Here's a video on rule of thirds, but remember that it's not really a rule, only a guide line, use it, then break it!

Daytime went pretty well =). I'm still writing a small article on portraits... I have a final in 2 days, so hold on!

As far as the Canon 85mm f/1.2 L goes, it's a spectacular lens, but for my purposes it's a bit excessive.

The thing weighs a ton, and the autofocus is a bit slow. With adequite light, f/1.2 seems to give too much dof, I found myself opting for f/1.8 - f/2 most of the time... using the maximum aperture seemed to give a to make her nose out of focus with the focus on her eyes... and the rest of her body? Totally blurred, and blasted away.



Even with the extra f stop, the dang thing is too heavy... causing some additional shake from your hands. If you want to take it for a try, go to precision and rent it for yourself!

I think things went really well tonight, I'm not sure how people will take the weird / very dark lit shots, but we'll see :P.
