A three-shot HDR processed in Photomatix. I chose a fairly slender depth of field (f/2.2) to give the shot some depth and 'pop' the foreground.

Rebecca in Bristol

Long time, no posting - apologies! Spending far too much time playing the guitar!

Anyhow - a shot from a night shoot in Bristol of the model, Rebecca.

Very little light so shot wide open (handheld) on a 50/1.2

Choir pews

Another from Lincoln Cathedral - I liked the neatly stacked piles of books.

 

 

Icon in tiny Cyprus Church

Here is a shot of Icons from a tiny church we found in Cyprus

FUJIFILM X-Pro1, f/1.2 @ 56 mm, 1/60, ISO 1000, No Flash

 

This is what the church looked liked form the outside:

 

 

 

I was surprised to find candles alight in the far end of the church - it looked deserted initially.

 

It must have once had very ornate paintings on many of the interior surfaces - here is a little of what remains:

 

 

 

Boat detail near sunset

I loved the rich colours of the late sun.

Headshot and Helen Gallery

Hiya - gallery of 11 shots from the Helen shoot is here: http://www.philhackettphotography.com/Helen

Here is a headshot at close range wide open on the 85mm f/1.2, hence the narrow depth of field.

Last post for a while!

Hi all

Not sure why you didn't get an email yesterday, but I did post a shot, so please check out the blog!

Two shots of Sarah today before a hiatus for a week as I'm off on hols!

Emma at the riverside

Emma posing on a wall

I was hoping to get a little late evening sunlight for the shoot tonight and I was lucky to enjoy a few breaks in the clouds!

The lovely Emma is posing on a wall with the sunlight behind me. I added a small amount of fill flash to lighten the shadows. I used the 85mm f/1.2 wide open to get a thin dof, focussing it on a tripod with live view.

I liked the lighting in the scene and how the background melts away.

The hands and the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 SL-II

Thanks to Bob Latham for lending me the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 SL-II Ultron lens!

 

The lens is a fascinating and beautifully made manual focus lens. As you can see from this shot it is sharp wide open and bests (to my eyes) Canon's f/2.8 40mm pancake which itself is a decent lens.

 

 

Not sure what I think about the bokeh (out of focus areas) yet, but I'll continue to play!

 

 

The shot was taken handheld using zoomed live view and processed in Color Efex Pro.
