This photo was shot with the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8. The nice thing about shooting ultra wide is that you don’t have to stitch anything afterwards. F2.8 seems to let enough light in without too much noise.
It was a really hard decision to return it… but I think it’ll be for the better. When you use the 14-24mm zoom, it seems that you’ll always be shooting around 14mm. Might as well go for a prime instead.
Last weekend I spent some time testing out the 24mm f1.4. It clearly has its advantages for low light landscapes.
I’ll probably have to get a 14mm f2.8 at some point, but for now, I’m going to try living with the 24mm as my primary walk around lens.
There’s two things I absolutely love—my mom, and her egg rolls. Here are some photos of her in the process of making them.
I’m pretty sure I could eat them every day.
And the crazy thing is that they keep getting better.
It just boggles my mind. Anyone else hungry now?
Here’s a photo of the sunset in black and white. The colors were intense, but it’s interesting to see with less visual information. What do you think?
Here are some photos from the river house. I’m really starting to dig the 24mm and shooting at F16. I’m amazed by how sharp the photos came out.
I’m tempted to try shooting with an ND filter and doing a long exposure. I bet the water would look like glass.
I was testing out some lenses this weekend, and doing a little astrophotography. These were shot with a 24mm f1.4 on a full frame.
The image on the left was created from 10 stacked photos, shot vertically. The image on the right was stitched to create a vertical panoramic view.
I also tested some photos with the legendary 14-24mm f2.8 as well. I’ll post some pics up soon.
