Dude, this is some good stuff. Wanna ask u something, that light behind the subject in this context, would it be regarded as the key light? Also, is there a sort of rule of thumb u use when it comes to the angle of the light?
*
Ahh thx.. Normally the key light is the light that makes the subject stands out but in this photo the light wasn't suppose to hit her face but instead make a rim light along her hair/shoulders to stand out of the background.. but we got to comfortable n the talent was making the poses as I was shooting so we didn't really bother haha

Its actually a 3 light set up.. Key light was on the front left of the talent.. The light left-behind the model act as a rim light and another fill light at the right of her face! biggrin.gif

Woow. The big file on Flickr looks superb.
Yeah. The aperture ring is there because it's one of the first Nikkor lenses to receive AF-S update. The same generation as the 17-35mm f/2.8.

I actually am not too picky. I don't mind the older 300mm f/2.8 either and like the current optics in the AF-S 300mm f/4, they are already excellent. I only wish the 300mm f/4 was a little faster. If I were to upgrade, I would look for a faster AF-S motor.
LOL We can only hope. The 100-300mm f/4 would be excellent.
If I want to go Super GT, I need to get one myself. Slow shutter speed will hit into very small apertures ---> difraction !
Yeah, I thought about the 50mm f/1.8G too but the thing is I don't see myself using it. My 50mm f/1.8D is one of my most unused lens.
I also thought about this but I currently have the AF 85mm f/1.4D. The newer lenses produce sharper image and faster focus but is the sacrifice on slower aperture worth it? Would I just be loosing out on 2/3rds of a stop going to the newer f/1.8G?

PM me your number, let's meet up!

Just confirmed my 50mm f/1.8G... my latest toy for Super GT xD

My range will be 16-35, 50, 70-200. Decided to leave my 35 or 85 at home because those lens are big and requires another pouch -.- not to mention overlapping with my zooms.

D700 manage to meter the flash LOL! Ended up like this tongue.gif PS, there's no lighting at the venue... "CLS"?

What lens is that? A new lens like a AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 or lens like a AF-S 24mm f/1.4G would be fine and believable if you bring in for warranty. They will ask when you bought the lens and will probably fill up the warranty card base on that date. But if you bring in a lens like AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 or AF 85mm f/1.4D to try and claim warranty with an unfilled warranty card, they will ask to see the receipt because those lenses have already been in the market for a long while.
What camera are you referring to?
You need a powerful telescope, no?

Woow, that's shooting into the sun !  sweat.gif Not just any ordinary powerful telescope. One with solar filter.  rclxub.gif

rclxub.gif rclxub.gif I wonder how many stops of light a solar filter has


Added on June 5, 2012, 1:40 pmWow I was going through some site regarding about solar filters and I bumped in to this

we could actually do a DIY Filter holder for the nikon 14-24

Okay, so I just received my 50mm f/1.8G. First thing I noticed, the focus ring is kinda rough / tight? Normal? As compared with my other lens...

Mine is pretty loose! I forgotten how it felt when it was new

The 50mm f/1.8D felt damn tight... and ring isn't smooth like my 35/86/70200/1635... felt like my kit lens...

Just now testing my batt grip to ensure it is working... Damn I miss 8fps sound... last time I used it was Super GT 2011 I guess LOL.

It depends on what you want to achieve for single portrait people most of the time will be using a wide aperture and for groups a smaller aperture to make everyone tack sharp wink.gif
