Something really special about it

When I had sacked-off and traded-in a couple of DX lenses [Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 and the 18-200 VR], I  bought a brand-new 24-70 f/2.8 Nano and a used 80-200 f/2.8 . The 24-70 performs well, as expected. But the lens that really shines out is this older 80-200.  When I tested it at the shop, [...]

Nikon’s CLS [Creative Lighting System] gives the freedom to shoot with remote speedlights, and the ability to control the master [on-camera] and remote [off-camera] flash units from a simple and quick menu system.

Though the plane-of-focus is so shallow from f/1.2 to f/4 – critical focus is [...]

Erin in purple

The two girls were playing by the window this afternoon, and I saw this lovely soft light coming in through the sheer blinds of the window and highlighting Erin’s face – the combination of the soft light on her face, her purple top and the egg-shell wall background looked so delicate and pretty. A quick [...]

Keeping it Green

Home-work time. For Mannat, that is. Both photographs shot at a very slow shutter speed and an off-camera flash at low power, to capture the ambient light on the background and the flash only to light Mannat. Not sure which image I like better, so am posting both!
