My first Fuji S5pro and 85 1.4 images

Hi All,

Took my new babies, oh and the kids, to the park this morning for a first run. All images are OOC with NO PP at all (other than resize and saved at 70 quality in Lightroom), should I be saving at 100% quality or is 70 ok?

Playing with the new gear the night before I put the exposure compensation up to +0.7 and forgot to change it back down again :oops: so some are a little overexposed.

It's only hot chocolate :wink:

Taken whilst on the other side of the ride, spinning around!!!! This was also the 24-120VR lens, not the 85.

If you are interested the rest are here: http://thefollans.smugmug.com/gallery/2938811#P-1-15

I am REALLY looking forward to getting to know this combo much better :D :D :D

Cheers.

Thanks,

She was jumping up from behind a wall so I didn't have much time to focus and frame the shot. I found the 85 really fast to focus though, worked well.

Thanks mate.

Yeah my wife loves that one as well :lol: I don't like the way her beannie is sitting,but hey for a family album I love it as well.

I was to busy looking at my new camera when I should have been thinking more about composition etc... with most of the images :lol: and as I said, it did not help that the exposure comp was set at +0.7 :oops:

I am amazed at the quality of the images though, they were taken in JPEG as well, huge change for me who has only shot RAW from day one. I can see much less time behind the computer :D

very nice shots!!! and a solid demonstration of the 85 cream machine.

were you the person asking about the 70-200mm VR. You will love that just as much for this kind of shooting, and a lot less zooming with your feet!

Yep, that was me :D

That could be next on the list (it is a very long list though)

Thanks for the comments.

Or there mother!!! BTW - for those that don't know Rick IS their grandparent (and believe me the looks didn't come from there!!!!!)

Mrs Reschsmooth wrote:Now I know why my husband wants the 85mm 1.4


go on, let him get it... you get to use it as well :wink:

Thanks for all the other comments. I took some more today at a kids party but don't want to post them until I have the parents permission. In my opinion they are MUCH better than these ones :D

Cheers.
