… what more can a photographer wish for? Equipment that isn’t breaking down! Two weeks ago had this shoot with Suzanne, a friend of my dear sister. All went well and swell, until the end of the post-processing…long story short: my main harddisk failed on me. Slow as and as became clear many errors on the disk. Bought me a new harddisk and started copying data from the old to the new: took me saturday through wednessday , nonstop copying. But finally everything is up and running again. (Yes homey, I’ll start backuping straight away from now on! Tip of the day: Back-up, back-up, back-up).
Anyway, the shoot was cold but we had fun. The shots were exactly as I was hoping for, pretty edgy, lots of speedlight-flare. Also, in postprocessing I experimented a lot with quite a few different settings in Lightroom. Overall, I’m very happy with this shoot except for one detail: sharpness. I’m started to see a pattern here: my zoom lens on its widest setting, semi-wide open (5,6-ish)…somehow is missing sharpness to the extreme. Can’t figure yet what it is: lens qualtiy? lens failure?, I’m doing something wrong? Will do some testing this week as my Spyder Lenscalibration tool has arrived.
Either way, here some pics form the shoot, soon I’ll at 1 or 2 in my portfolio, still in the process of choosing.Thx to Suzanne, Hendrick & Raquel! Some simply snaps from the preparation:
