Bro what lenses do you use for photo?
Juz 18-55mm AF-S VR kit lens on nikon d5200 , @f/4.5 29mm, iso 100, shutter 1/5sec with tripod, using manual focus & timer. Still wondering whether i overexposed her photos though; i might have overdid it a bit.
no need for fancy lenses when it comes to shooting figures unless u wanna go very near you will need a telephoto or macro lens.
I do plan to get a prime lens, but not on a hurry. A f/1.8 50mm lens is affordable (in the standards of photography accessories, approx rm 350-700+ depending whether it has VR), but if i had that kind of $$ i would go for f/1.4 50mm (approx RM 1300) for that pretty & smoother bokeh it produces.
Im not the kind who likes to abuse & spam bokeh, kinda a cheap tactic to me to produce great shots with minimal effort (which is why i do dioramas to be different from others), but for the sake of more variety to my photos i will still need a prime lens - also useful in portrait shots & wide landscapes (but i dont shoot landscapes much), not to mention they take in lots of light meaning i dont have to lower the shutter speed so much.
