Babyfairy's Shoot [16 March]

[syl]

Overall I like the series but may I ask whether you applied a blur/soft filter to the models' faces? They seem a little soft to me. What was your set-up, if I may ask and what lenses were you using?

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice pic, thanks for sharing..

syl: I was using the 50mm 1.8 and no filter is used. Median blurring is applied on their faces. I mostly used 2.2, 2.8, and 5.6 on that day of shooting.

engta: Thank you, bro~

I love picture #2 the best, and picture #1 follows closely behind. The old wooden door/architecture really adds charm to these images. Picture #1 would have been a lot nicer if the vertical black beam didn't appear one-third way into the image.

Generally, I like the costumes a lot, and the blue kimono is a winner. I've been trying to find a nice kimono to add to my wardrobe but haven't been successful. Do you know where the model shoot organiser got/rented it?

Hmm... you now have a 50mm f/1.8 lens? Very sharp lens! (Just like the 85mm f/1.8.)

Before you get bitten by the buying bug, the only real advantage with fast (large aperture) lenses such as 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.2L or even the out-of-production f/1.0L is opening up for use in low light situations and shallower depth-of-field. Don't ever think that the larger aperture, or even the L designation, means a sharper or more contrasty image when shot wide open. No, not, and never, and I know this through my work handling/fixing/measuring these lenses. When used fully wide open, the sharpest and most contrasty of all the 50mm lenses is probably the humble 50mm f/1.8, surely not the f/1.2. Large glass surface areas tend to cause internal flaring hence slightly softens the images as if a softening filter was placed over it, and I have seen this with the f/1.2.

Hi Jema,

Wow, bro, I really appreciate your in-depth technical knowledge everytime! Thanks so much. I will take note of them. In fact the 50mm 1.8 has been lying in my cupboard for a long time, so I decided to use it. Keke.

The beautiful costumes are rented by 'babyfairy'. Perhaps you can just message her about it. You can find her nick inside the Workshop forum. Cheers!
