Yesterday I took my (still) new camera on a short walk around my neighborhood and took a few pictures I wanna share here with you. I went on a quiet way because I still feel a little bit uncomfortable on the street with a camera in my hand (weird huh?). That's also why I didn't tried to take pictures with people on it. But with time and practice that will probably change.. hopefully
I used the 7artisans 35mm f1.2 which is an equivalent to 53.55mm f/1.84 with fully wide open on a Sony alpha APS-C sensor. This lens is fairly cheap as well as the ND filter I bought it mainly for recording videos but of course I use it to take photos as well. I am really really new to photography with a system camera and I am learning a lot about photography and editing in post. For the editing part I searched about free alternatives to lightroom and I found darktable pretty good and easy to use for me as a bloody beginner.
I have to say that this lense & filter combo has an unique vintage touch. The sharpness and distortion is definitely noticeable compared to my other 2 lenses (Sigma 16mm & Sony 38-135mm) but I like this style. Enough waffling around - here are some pictures (all with ISO 320 f2-6 1/250)
I guess a shutter of 1/320 is pretty extreme for this type of weather and I can work on that to avoid using my cheap ND for photos in future. I like the focal length and like mentioned the vintage touch this lens delivers. Plus the 7artisans is so tiny that the full setup fits perfectly in a pocket of my jacket.
I will publish way more pictures here on Hive and document my development on this exciting art. Thanks for tuning in and your comment as well!
Seeya!
