Blinded by light series #1 - Follow up.

These are Nik's shots of me. They're really nice but they didn't come up in our blog.
When i say nice, i mean the lighting not the posing and the subject.
This series of photos was processed by me

I'm starting to get Nik's style in lighting. She likes the moody light. Almost spotlight-like effect. I don't know her EXIF data, but most probably the shutters below 1/250, the apertures around f3.5 to f22 and ISO from 100 to 3200.
One light set up snooted.
Enjoy.
Here are the photos:

Planning to shoot again once our schedule clears up!

The L-virus

Yup! It's attacking me once again.

For the non-L readers(Nax! as if we have a lot of followers here.)
L - is a Pro-Grade "expensive" canon lens.(red ring)

I have a few L-lens. 17-40 f4, 35 f1.4, 135 f2 and 70-200 f2.8 IS. and yup! I'm eying on a macro L. the new 100 macro L!

Since i got a feel in doing macro shots a few days back using Niks 100mm Macro and i was astonished by the shots.






So far so good!

Now, heres the lens specifications that im raving about

100 Macro f/2.8 H-IS L

Maximum aperture F2.8
Image stabilization Hybrid IS
Filter thread 67mm
Weight 625g (22 oz)
Dimensions 78mm diameter x 123mm length (3.1 x 4.8 in)

This lens can be FTM(full-time manual) like 100mm macro USM and since it's an L lens. It comes with a pouch and lens hood. There is a lot of mixed reviews in the net. I'm sold already. So, I'll just post the Pro's of this lens.
*SHARP
*H-IS
*"fun lens"
*L


I might be overdosing on gear-acquired-syndrome. But, I really like my Lenses. I try to use them all if and when im gonna shoot.

SOON! I'll have my Macro L lens.

Intense

Just by looking at this photo, I can already feel the immense heat myself.

Unbelievable effort, skills and talent.

Both in sports and in post-processing. Goodjob, Dik!
