Nikon Portraiture Shootout!!

[espn]

No la.. not to worry, I've already planned for the food to be spiked with sleeping powder :bsmilie: Once they fall asleep, we print contracts and let them put their thumbprint on it :bsmilie:

The NSG guys are there to help out in explaining the proper use of the equipment, what it can do and try to help out a bit.

haha.. :bsmilie:
anyway I am still considering...saving up now

 

[espn]

I've used the 85 f/1.4 on a D100 la. Hunting definitely will have, but it's not that BAD.

Image quality + bokeh wise, definitely worth the purchase, I dare say it's on my purchase list too

ESPN, whats the shooting arrangement be like? Are we going to shoot in groups with different models and rotate? Also, how can we get our hands on the coveted Nikon lenses?

Need to consider what lens to bring along as dun want to bring too much.

Don't worry on the shooting arrangements, I've already catered for everything and will proceed with as minimal hiccups as possible, hopefully the wet weather plan doesn't need to kick in also :sweat:

You can bring whatever lenses you desire, there are wide angled scenes and close up scenes indented, so it's going to be a lot of fun trying to get the angle, the shortest glass available will be the 17-55 producing a 28-70 equiv range on DSLR. The longest is the 200VR f/2G and the 70-200VR f/2.8G.

Items I can suggest you bring are tissue paper (clean up nose bleed), umbrella (to shelter the model), CF cards/film (v v v v v impt), flash (not that necessary) and also most importantly, batteries :blah: (with exceptions to those on FM bodies)

To touch the exotic lenses, kindly please PM me, I will arrange for funds transfers. Ooops... I mean special arrangements :bsmilie:

Does that mean you will get to keep them all by yourself for the night? ;p

No, I do. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...........

Can you tell me what is your car's make model colour, plate number and where it will be park at exectly.
Most importantly make sure the stuff are there and ignore any car alarm that goes off in the night. No need to run to m'sia, we can share later. :bsmilie:

Pardon my ignorance but I have never been to portraiture outings before do we have time to shoot and change lens often. I am still deciding what lens to bring ??. Initially was thinking of taking only 1 lens along but maybe I will have to reconsider. Anybody can help ?? Thanks.
