ello all,

well it's the second time out with the D70, this time again with the 85mm.

i shot every one of these at 1.4

i would like to take a few of these again in order to increase the Fstop in order to increase the focal depth.

anyway please critique as always your feedback and comments are welcome.

Superb mate, very clean shots. The first two worked for me, the model in the picture made them a little bit more interesting to look at, as the background is very plain. The focal point is very sharp in each shot.

hold on a minute, looks like you hi-jacked my shoot Mr. 7... :wink:

i really like the fourth shot, but i think it would be even better if you were able to clone out the light pole.

sorry Oz, i cannot help being sooo talented

seriously though, thanks for your help and the loan of the 85mm

i learnt heaps about focal depth from these shots,

next project will be a walk around melbourne on a warm night i think.

they look nice but i hear they could not take a wrx at the lights.

1 and 4 do it for me. I like the reflection on the door in the 4th shot. Nice and sharp as well.

i have had heaps of positive feedback regarding shot 4,

people have mentioned that it is because the headlamp is like an eye, it leads into the photo,

additionally people who have seen it commented on the lamp post and the e-tag, i have to agree it looks nicer with them removed.

other comments i have recieved include replace with an Aston Martin.

but they were not very helpful...

#4 is probably the strongest out of the pics, but i'd prefer to see the entire car with a bit more DOF.

yeah this shoot was a big learning curve for focal depth,

i set the 85mm at 1.4 and went nuts,

now having gotten a feel for the lens and the focal depth i feel confident in playing with it a little more.

7, try to set up that shoot again, and I'll join you!!!

I might even be able to lend you a lens...

Oz,

i'll have my people call your people, now to find myself a tall attractive blond in a bikini to accompany the shoot.

perhaps a couple, we will need them to hold our lenses.
