Min DOF Photography

Hell yeah! Coming on your computer screens this weekend.

A day with 85L and a model:D. Most of the shots are taken at ISO 800, since I noticed that when I was half way through the session. It was cloudy and I didn’t find it weird to have such high shutter speeds, because I got used to having them at f1.2 (the first day I couldn’t believe the difference and was checking ISO settings too). Ok it doesn’t matter for web size anyway. You can still check the bokeh, colours, DOF and sharpness. But I feel a bit stupid nevertheless…

Ok, here are the photos, all of them straight out of rawshooter and all of them, except for the first one, are taken at f1.2 (view LARGER):

EDIT: I’ve just done a few minor adjustments to this one…

A kiss for all my readers. Contrast is untouched. Colours are so saturated, that I add much less contrast in Rawshooter (shadow contrast also boosts colours), than with my 85 1.8, not to mention the 50 1.8, which has completely “washed” coulours compared to both 85’s especially the L version.

Holidays sux! I ain’t got no models. Everyone is on vacation, out of town. I hope I’ll have more luck tomorrow, I hate to waste lens like this, since I have to return it next monday.

Anyway here’s a snapshot of my father that I took while we were eating Chinese…@f1.2 ofcourse.

Would you believe me if I told you that there was a bike right behind his back?

I can’t believe myself I took these shots:o. But I had to show you the bokeh that this peace of glass produces…

All Shots were taken with Canon 350D@f1.2.

I got a new toy:D. In the next posts you’ll see what min dof is really all about. And super creamy and smooth bokeh. Especially when I’m going to mount it on Canon 1Ds mkII, which I’ll get on friday.

For now I have only those two snapshots (no time for PS etc):

Are you scared?:D It looks pretty frightening to me…
