Did you all enjoy halloween!?  We had a great party at work and there were some really neat pumpkins for the pumpkin contest.  One of the shots I did turned out pretty well so I thought I would share it.  This is a picture of the winning carved pumpkin, it’s the Death Star destroying Alderaan.  I think he did a great job and deserved to win the pumpkin carving contest.

 

Death Star Destroying Alderaan

Exposure: 0.5 sec at f/4.0 ISO: 640

 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

 

I’m including exposure and ISO on every image here now as a helpful hint.  If there’s something else I should include as well let me know.
Thanks!

Nikkor Lens 105MM #3 – Lens Review

We went out the pumpkin patches today to find pumpkins for carving.  I took my Nikon (Nikkor) 105MM f/2.8 G ED AF-S Micro lens with me to play with it a little more.  This is not exactly a need for a micro lens but I had fun with it either way.

The bokah created by this lens and the extreme aperture is definitely of a specific use.  I think I was able to pull it off in the image below of a line of the pumpkins they had.  I think this makes a nice fall style image.

Exposure 1/1500 sec at f/3.0 ISO 100

The exposure was 1/1500 sec at f/3.0 with an ISO of 100.  Of course using LightRoom I warmed up the temp a little a little and added some vignetting.

Before we went I grabbed an extra lens because I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get an images I liked due to the use for the lens but I was happily surprised with what I was able to get with this lens.  I am starting to like the lens more and more as I use it and this is only day 2!
