Alright so I admit, I am a bit of a fanboy, but a very timid fanboy. But some people are beyond fanboys, people who put ridiculously stupid tattoos on their body to show how much of a geek they are.
Here’s a few example of some bad ones..
Luckily we’re not all doomed. There are some smarter and artistic people who live amongst us. I would never get a tattoo, but as I understand it, tattoos are supposed to be timeless, epic, pure awesome. Here’s one!
Hopefully I’ll be doing more of this in the future. But since I am still out of a camera, I am deeply depressed. I’ve placed my D90 in for repairs, I am still hoping warranty will cover it. Anywho, this is a quick video I did of today’s shoot. In the frame is our friend Kelly and James Ottaway. I am pretty lacking in the video department, so bare with me as I sharpen my video editing skills.

Video was shot with the Nikon D90 and 50mm 1.8d. HD definitely recommended.

What was supposed to be a fun night quickly turned into a disaster. I decided last week to buy a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D. I figure, it’s one of the most popular lenses out there, it costs almost nothing and it’s darn good. The lens arrived this morning, I quickly went to the post office to grab it before I go off to uni (somehow AusPost doesn’t like driving into people’s driveways so they always leave a get-off-your-butt gesture in the form of a consignment note. Grr.). When I finally got to play around with it.. something went wrong. Horribly wrong. I had the night planned out, but instead, I ended up using the new lens to take photos of my broken Nikon D90. (insert horribly saddened face emoticon)
Cold sweat started to soak my t-shirt, my heart felt like it was shot with a 22 calibre shotgun. At first I was taking a few photos of the newly acquired lens with my camera, all good until couple of frames later, something sounded odd. A dampened shutter sound. Incomplete. I realised immediately my D90 had stabbed me in the back. To make it worst, I have a photoshoot session with two models tomorrow. I don’t know how to explain the camera’s problem, but to my best knowledge, the camera has lost it’s aperture control capabilities. Somehow, the camera’s aperture rod is unable to move the aperture rod of the lens. As you can see from the picture above, the aperture stays shut the entire time it’s on the camera (which should’ve been opened wide). The DOF Preview did not do anything. One thing led to another, my legend….ary friend lent me his D90 for tomorrow.
I was planning to write a mini review of the 50mm, but seeing as I am totally unmotivated I’ll leave you in the hands of google searches, besides the title of this post says it all about the 50mm 1.8D:
So I am off to, hopefully, claim warranty first thing tomorrow before the photoshoot. Wish me luck.
Michael.
Sorry for the really bad camera quality. But this is what is going to look like tomorrow for a shoot with Gabby. Keep tuned to see the results!
I’ve always wanted a studio but have always put it off just cause they usually involve in me opening my wallet and handing it over to someone else. But my spending spree habit couldn’t be held back any longer. I’ll go in great detail on how you can make a proper home studio on a small budget that will make you look like you know what you are doing. Luckily with the help of my parents who live overseas, I was able to get some very cheap lighting props, but I’ll talk about that later on.
