15th Oct Sunday afternoon
Padova
Model: Hui
Assistant: Alessandra
Just got a 32cm diffuser for my flash, definitely helped spread the light more evenly and softly, but still not big enough, I'm considering to get a bigger one, maybe an umbrella.
Here are the photos:
Shot on A7 with Samyang 85mm f1.4, flash to the right of the model. Actually I had some trouble finding perfect focus, I'm a little tired of manual lens now, it takes way too long to find focus even with the help of magnifier and focus peaking, if I get the chance I'll trade my Samyang for a Sony 85mm f1.8.
Anyway, the street is very nicely blurred, subject well lit, pretty close to my expectation.
Trying to capture the little red light over the horizon, pretty cool.
This one has much better lighting, because we were right beneath a lamp post. This is shot on Sony 50mm f1.8. Still not sharp enough, if you zoom all the way in you can see that her eyes are far from sharp, both on 85mm and 50mm lens. Maybe the setting was wrong? I would expect much sharper result but this is good enough for general portrait.
And some shots taken during the afternoon
