#not afraid to show how i shoot

ok so… check this out.
btw…. lots of photography nerd talk here so if anything enjoy the lovely crop.

I got a new lens…. the Rokinon 16mm 2.2F…the new STROBE I GOT….. but the lens ok this is a post about that lens… LOOK AT THAT SEXY BEAST!!! on top of that I have the clarity TURNED DOWN -20!!!!
I paid about $350 for this lens……. yes people this is the LEAST amount I’ve spent on a lens btw….because photography isn’t cheap DESPITE how my prices are usually free or $30…. so Put that into perspective. /salt
This lens was QUICKLY one of my most favorite lenses. even at 2.2 it’s viciously sharp! This is shot down at 5.6 with Canon T3i meaning it’s a 18mbp pic. nothing HUGE, not like the Mark II ect up the line. but look at that, that is just sexy! I could PRINT THIS easily at a 20x16 and get just a stunning look! even though this is all online and really I dont HAVE to have this sort of clarity its nice to know I can easily print super large and get fantastic clarity!
only “drawback” is it’s a manual lens. but it’s so easy to operate with my Katzeye it’s kinda not an issue. I usually shoot my camera on manual anyhow ( I don’t like the sensor on the digital cameras.) and having a lot of old school Zukio and Zeiss film lenses, a manual lens is nothing new.

I’m So super excited about this whole new set up, lens, strobe… it’s not even funny! I haven’t been this energized about photography and my beloved art in a LONG time so seeing this is just AHHH!!!

I’m also so thrilled to have @faidflouriteand@akakiri as my models and essentially guinea pigs for this new set up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! They are among the short list of people I absolutely ADORE To shoot with.  I can’t wait to share with you some of their final photos among my long list of OTHER photos I really want to share!

Talk back at me if you want, questions, comments. all good. Trolling will be reported because I’m too old for that shit.
