Which lens(es) were the above taken with?

mr tommo · 7 Jul 2014 at 12:41

I'm going for 85mm sigma on the last 4 above?

How come you are involved with the video and what's the job if you don't mind me asking? Looks fun!

mrk · 7 Jul 2014 at 13:24

85 for those.

I was the stills photographer for a production company shooting a commercial for a product launching next year. The ad goes live online this month.

mr tommo · 7 Jul 2014 at 14:17

Sweet, looks like a fun job!

How does the 85mm compare to the Art 35mm? I was waiting for sigma to release the 85mm art as I'm over the moon with my 35.

My copy of the 85mm EX is outstandingly sharp. In some cases I think it's even sharper than my 35mm Art! For me the only reason to upgrade to the 85mm Art would be for the new styling, better control of CA and fringing (although this is a minor non issue), build quality and firmware upgrade ability via the dock.

I’ll likely upgrade to it anyway and sell the 85mm EX (whoever gets it will be very pleased I can tell you that).

I'm a bit strange like that. I can't bring myself to get rid of my 35L even though I use the 35art now

The 85art (if it comes out) will have to be phenomenal for me to replace my 85L.

As for video. My carry case for the phantom should arrive today, so weather allowing, I should get a quick play tonight/tomorrow.

Well you can bet your left leg that the 85 Art will focus faster than the 85L

, hell even the 85 EX does

Some late night toying around with the new YN-560 IIIs

Phal · 22 Jul 2014 at 17:03

So many things I want to shoot but never enough time to shoot them

Phal · 22 Jul 2014 at 19:02

Yeah that's one thing I definitely need flashes for... Any kind of product photo like that

mrk · 22 Jul 2014 at 19:23

Remote lighting certainly helps! So many ways and even the smallest adjustment can make the largest difference.

Soon to be demolished hospital ward:

Not the kind of thing you expect to come across when doing some midnight Astro Photography but I guess it makes for a different street photo

I did check to see if he was OK, he was snoring like a champion!

Also... Astro Photography, it seems quite OK!

Cool pic, shame about the plonker in the way

{SAS}TB · 1 Aug 2014 at 11:13

Cracking shot Robbie - saw it this morning in your Photostream

The second one aint bad either

mrk · 1 Aug 2014 at 12:54

Hah!

Can't wait to do more. I now know what some of you other guys who do star shots feel when standing under the light show!

Mark A · 1 Aug 2014 at 13:08

You do love to do that silhouetted pic of yourself
