My lightroom isn't set up right now though, new comp, so I have an older photo today that I found from when I did a shoot with a friend last year. I have it as my desktop right now, and everytime I come to the computer I like it a little more, so I share . . .
Shot with the Sigma 50mm @ f/2.8 and at ISO 320, which was probably a mistake on my part, I don't typically shoot at half stop incriments on anything. Something like this I'd typically want my lowest ISO to maximize the natural colour uptake on my sensor. My editing would only have focused on my shadows and maybe some highlights in the whites, make my curve a little steeper.
I love this lens of mine though, I bought it on a cold, weird night in Edmonton, I met a guy outside of a Tim Hortons that ended up being closed, and didn't really get to test it because of severly low light. I went for it though. I asked the guy why he was selling the lens, and I love the answer, "I bought this 18-105mm lens, and I do everything with it. I've only taken this one out of the box twice." I wonder if he ever figured out his error in that decision. The 18-105mm has poorer glass, is plastic, and is the generic lens you typically buy in a kit with a nikon body. It'll do the trick, and most people say you can take good photos with anything, but if you've made the decision to step it up with the body, you shouldn't shoot yourself in the foot with your lens.
Oh yeah, heres a new one I just edited of my bro from earlier this summer.
He looks a little awkward when he tries to pose, so I had to compromise him. I think I made weird noises, I know, we're mature. This one is also with the Sigma 50mm, shot with me standing on the couch, free-hand, no tripod. Unfortunately a few of the photos we're a little fuzzy because of this, and I only got 4 I liked enough out of this shoot.
Anyways, I'm cold, word out.
