Quite soft, but color wise, it looks more vibrant.
This one shot at f/2.8 btw

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 24 2011, 11:36 PM) Looks more vibrant compared to? I don't know how to explain. It looks more vibrant compared to my 50mm f/1.8D. Blue supposed to be blue, red supposed to be red.I use 1/80s or 1/100s on my 85mm. I would put it this way... D3x / 1Dsmk3 -> D3s/D3/1Dmk4 -> D700/5Dmk2 -> D300s/7D -> D7000 -> D90/60D/D5100 Actually that D7000 and D90 a bit harder to classify.. D90 is more like advanced entry.. the D7000 more like a 'lite version' of the semi pros... |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 25 2011, 09:45 AM) Better contrast compared to the f/1.8D? This one I not sure too haha... not much experience with the f/1.4D. Didn't like the lens cause I can't use it wide open >( Yup, something like that, in a nutshell, I would say that the colors look flattering lar and pleasant to eyes without much of PP. I bought it for RM600. Last time I bought my 48L for like RM500 I'm not very technical with lenses, but having sharp focus wide open requires a good combo of lens and body, and also skill, right? |

I think the subject moving around, shifting the focus plane may sound reasonable, especially when you are indirectly shooting her, and she will just move her face to other photogs on and off.

QUOTE(vikingw2k @ Apr 25 2011, 12:29 PM) That's why proper communication is important. Sometimes, I will confirm my focus lock few times when the model looked at me. Tit tit tit few times if I got the time luxury, this will sometimes guarantee really tack sharp focus, even on my kitlens. |

QUOTE(vikingw2k @ Apr 25 2011, 12:33 PM) Some inexperienced model will move their body a tad when they pose without knowing this is bad for the photogs who just locked their focus. PC Fair I would care less. OOF shots will go straight to the recycle bin.But for outdoor portrait shooting where I can talk to my models, and if I want to achieve certain shots, I would tell her, "OK, look at me, I focus on your eyes... but don't move". If she moves, then I have to educate/coach her not to move much. So sometimes, it requires a few takes before I got that perfect shot with perfect focus especially if it's a complicated pose which involves movement and dynamics. It worth the effort.

QUOTE(junior5417 @ Apr 25 2011, 02:47 PM) if i focus on the subject's eye and then recompose the picture. the focus point will be different already? Think in a 3D space. If you subject distance to you is the same, then F&R method still OK. If you have focused and then the subject moved to the back or front, then the area you want to focus is out of the focal plane and you get OOF.I am asking this because, when i use my d7000 focus on any subject and then recompose it, my focus point will be at middle( I turned on "show focus point" from the menu of d7k). Btw, i am using centered weighted metering About centered weighted metering, well, it has nothing to do with autofocus. It is for the automatic exposure calculation by your camera when you use A,S, and P modes to estimate the proper shutter speed, aperture and ISO in order to get a proper exposure. Autofocus for Nikon usually got 3 modes: AF-S, AF-C, and AF-A This post has been edited by geekster129: Apr 25 2011, 02:57 PM |

QUOTE(junior5417 @ Apr 25 2011, 03:06 PM) i know about this. but i am not asking this. You mean you can't change the AF point?when u press the preview button on the d7k. u can actually view your photo and display where is your focus point. but my problem is, the focus point on the photo always remain on the middle |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Apr 26 2011, 09:06 AM) Before all these G and N lenses, people still make amazing and great photos. So, don't let the technology hold you back. It was suppose to help and make things easier and better, BUT not holding someone back or... how do I put it... too dependent and not learning... Just like nowadays there're many tools to ease many work, but it's meant to cut down and ease the work and achieve better result, not intended for people to neglect and ignore the skills. A true masterpiece is more than just aperture/SS/ISO settings info. Factor in other variables like lighting, art direction etc which is usually a master's trade secrets which can only be obtained through years and years of practise.Sincerely speaking, how many people can tell FROM Picture alone, what lens is used, what aperture, etc? If there is a photo taken with 50mm f/1.4G vs 50mm f/1.8D, can anyone actually differentiate and tell by merely looking at the picture alone? |

shouldn't be too bad. 50mm on the middle range and 11-16 on the wide angle range in terms of creative composition at least for me lar. Both should be bigger or equal than 2.8 right? Telephoto range, i rarely go, unless super far shots.

QUOTE(Andy214 @ May 6 2011, 10:40 AM) The subject 'might' care (and I personally care if I shoot people), especially its a girl and she IF she has fair skin. Under will makes the skin darker or BBQ. I'm not saying its right or wrong, there's no right or wrong, as long as YOU like it or if you're shooting for your client, your client likes it. That's why nowadays I care more not to make the models look fat. Technicalities come second. If your're shooting for someone, you need to make sure your photo satsify them, most people want clear and correctly exposed or brighter photos. And some older people, doesn't know or care bokeh, you give them the picture, they tell you 'whats all this blur one???', bad photographer, change change! So, its all about preference and who the photo is meant for. I'm just sharing my opinion and asking you is it under cause i feel the skin tones is dark, but I haven't seen the real person, so I don't know how she look like in real person? Is she that dark? About elder people. Yes. It's true in some sense. For example in a group portrait when shooting wedding, some older generation would prefer if everything is exposed correctly, colors as vibrant and accurate as the real thing, and clarity of the pic. So even if you just shoot at f/5.6 to f/8 with your kitlens and expose flash correctly to make them look good, they are more than happy rather than seeing your bokeh bokeh shots. Depends on the objective again, some people may want to send the pic to print and hang it on the wall or put it inside their picture frame for nostalgic reasons.

QUOTE(celciuz @ May 6 2011, 12:04 PM) This is exactly my thinking when I was a newbie. huge difference. The tonality difference between the 2 photos give the viewer a totally different feel. I didn't bother much with exposure when shooting portraiture and always asking myself why me and my friends shooting the same thing but their subject looks better than mine! Same subject, different exposure. Some random pic taken from her FB, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « My shot, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The first one made her face look so oily, but the second one feels more lively and her face looked like as if she has just came out from a facial session. That's what DSLR owners should strive to achieve. This post has been edited by geekster129: May 6 2011, 12:17 PM |
