Dag 23: Kunstudstilling / opstilling i stuen

Endnu en dag, hvor jeg tester et gammelt objektiv. Denne gang er det en ELICAR Automatic MC f = 135mm 1: 2.8 med serienummer 800649 - Nikon F-mount. Jeg kan ikke finde mange oplysninger om dette objektiv, der er fremstillet af Komine - en japansk linseproducent - og det skulle efter sigende være ekstremt skarpt. Byggekvaliteten er meget god, og objektivet kom med en indbygget beskyttelsesdæksel over frontlinsen.

Min Nikon D300 med objektivet err monteret på et stativ, og jeg benytter en Nikon-kabeludløseren MC-36. Igen brugte jeg "Mirror Up" -tilstand for optimal skarphed. Til højre for emnet placerede jeg en SB-900 med en 1/2 CT og en smal lysformer fra Honl Photo. Blitzen blev styret med en PocketWizard. I manuel tilstand valgte jeg en lukketid på 1/125 sek og justerede derefter skarphed manuelt. WB var indstillet til Overskyet (varm i modsætning til den blå gel) og ISO til 200. Efter nogen eksperimenterende endte jeg på en eksponeringskompensation på -2/3 EV, hvor jeg var tilfreds med resultatet.

Jeg må sige, at jeg synes, at dette objektiv tegner meget skarpt, og der er overhovedet ingen vignettering. Det kunne blive en perfekt portrætlinse!

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
