Wow 2019 sure flew by, and I pressed the shutter button more than ever. So let me share a favourite picture or pictures as we finish 2019 and head in to 2020.
Day #2
- EOS R
- EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
- 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO 320
I was offered the chance to shoot in the studio of the Photographer Academy, which is a photo studio made from an old church. So that means massive stained glass windows, huge space, great height – yes please. I was really fortunate to be able to work with Allie for this shoot, she stepped in at the last minute.
I used the EOS R, but for this first shot my favoured EF 85mm f/1.8 USM was on the mount adapter. In these early days of the EOS R eye AF was not yet available in servo AF mode, but here it did a good job. Make sure you update your cameras to get improved AF features and performance.
- EOS R
- RF 50mm F1.2L USM
- 1/2500s, f/1.2, ISO 200
I still had the RF 50mm F1.2 and RF 28-70mm F2with me, so better use them. Despite this being the week before the snow came in January, there was ample bright light through the big windows.
- EOS R
- RF 28-70mm F2L USM
- 1/250s, f/2, ISO 200
Let me give you some idea of the windows I’m working with…, this is one of several on this side of the studio space.
- EOS R
- RF 28-70mm F2L USM
- 1/200s, f/2, ISO 200
Just a heads up… I’m going to be heading back to this studio late in March 2020 for a 1-day Speedlite flash workshop, more details in my diary.
Just quick note… I’m struggling to narrow down my selection of pictures to just a single one for each day 🙂
