Fun Pictures with Nikon

[Jorgen Udvang]

Welcome to the world of advertising!

You mean advertising is kind of.... not reality

But I thought that...:wtf:

Great Circus shots, Amin, particularly those with the audience visible as a dark background. They give a very nice feeling of space. Camera, lens and ISO?

 

[Amin]

Thanks Jorgen! I used the D700 with the AF 85/1.4. I had the camera in manual mode ~f/2, shutter between 1/250s and 1/1000s depending on the action, and auto ISO up to ISO 6400. The shots I showed here were, in order, at ISO 1100, 2500, 1400, 6400, and 2000.

Great stuff... thanks for the info too.

Thank viablex and Lloyd!

I thought I would add this to the Bangkok collection

 

[JohnH]

And for something entirely different - but still Bangkok...

 

[Amin]

John, those are both beautiful! Can you tell us more about them?

 

[Ranger 9]

Nice shooting, Amin, and I particularly liked the way you worked the lights into the compositions.

Amin, thanks for the compliment.

First photo. - There was a parade in Bangkok this morning - I think people representing different parts of Thailand. And needless to say I now have 350 - 400 photos added to my Thai collection. Some of the parade consisted of floats, and a young lady was standing on the side of such a float, dressed as a statue. She enjoyed posing for the camera. Nikon D2Xs. 17 - 55 mm lens. EXIF details - f 3.3 at 1/160.

Second photo - reflections from a multi-storey building, which seems to have copper-colored glass. A nice challenge. 70 - 200mm. EXIF is f9.5, 1/60.

Both processed in Capture One, with minimal modification.

Cheers,

John

Great stuff, John. Thanks for sharing.

And even more different...
Bangkok, D2Xs, 17 55mm, 2.8, 1/125.

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

Nice "statue", John. Any idea what the reason for the parade was?

Testing the S5 Pro on a gorgeous day, made to make us believe in spring again - for a day or two. But; the aftermath of winter can also look good - and the S5 seems to handle it well. Nikkor-S 1,2/55 AI´d

 

[JohnH]

Jorgen - I will check tomorrow - people at work will know. It seemed to be regional promotions of some kind, and the parade went along Sukhumvit from Emporium through to Siam.

Cheers,

John

Beautiful... love those cool, blue shadows.

 

[leif e]

Thanks, Lloyd! Actually, the only thing I really did in Aperture, was correcting white balance a bit - they were even bluer ...

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

Thanks, John.

Beautiful snow, Leif, particularly the first one.

I live in an area where Steeplechase is a big deal. It's not really my thing, but there are some good photo opportunities.
