Family portraits with the Canon 1 dmark 4

2012-02-12T01:20:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone , Today I have been working on the 1 d mark 4 what a great Portrait camera !The 1.3x crop-frame camera has a top ISO of 102,400, a 16 megapixel sensor and shoots at ten frames per second. The EOS-1D Mark IV also delivers extreme low-light performance. Standard ISO on the EOS-1D Mark IV ranges from 100-12,800, while extended ISO ranges from a low of 50 to 102,400 – the highest ISO ever offered by a Canon SLR. This extreme low-light performance makes the EOS-1D Mark IV ideal for night shots or shooting at evening events, where the lack of light would normally make shooting imp Canon EOS-1D Mark IV features a completely new 45-point AF system, with 39 f/2.8 sensitive cross-type points located across the frame, providing consistent AF on static or moving subjects, no matter which AF point is being used. All 45 AF points are user selectable and now more sensitive, with the AF points towards the edge of the frame offering identical levels of performance to those i

with the Lovely Portrait Canon 85 mm 1.2 lens The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Autofocus Lens is a fast lens that delivers superb optical performance. A maximum aperture of f/1.2 makes it the professional's choice for shooting without flash in low light conditions. The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of field for compelling portrait photography.

Manufacturer description:

In these portraits I chose low depth of field to create a great blur behind them. Shooting at 2.2 f you

have to keep the subjects on the same plane of focus . This was a very simple set with a white wedding

netting behind the subjects and i had a 580 flash on the with a garry fong on top to spread the light

this is call a Lightsphere Collapsible

Head Shots For Fresh Talent

2011-11-15T02:21:00.000-08:00

An upcoming actress Kelsey from Fresh Talent phoned us on Thursday last week to get some new Head Shots done.
So we meet her on location in Central Auckland at about 5 in the afternoon, setup our equipment and started photographing. We thought we captured her perfectly at the right time of the day and could have quite easily stayed till dusk the light was working that well.
We have photographed quite a few Fresh Talent actor's now and below are the results of her photo shoot.
Thanks Kelsey for a great afternoon

This is a layered shot of heaps of shots

Canon 1 D mark 4 f stop 7.1 - ISO 620 - speed 1000

well the sun was behind me but it was behind the clouds so i was using a bit more ISO i find this spot

really good because in the afternoon you are shooting to the left and right with the sun behind and very low so you get not to many contrasts. well enjoy from the team from sharpphotography.

World cup Rugby 2011 Fire works
Hi all here is video of the fire works of the night. we got to our spot at 2.00 pm and 4 other photographers were there before us and we all waited until 8.00 pm when the fire work started.

This is the golden hour before fire works

Nikon D3X 70-200mm

   Canon 1 d mark 4 setting Bulb 6 sec, F 8 , ISO 125

Canon 1 d mark 4 setting Bulb 6 sec, F 8 , ISO 125

The trick is to have a great trip pod using low ISO and timing is very important .
Always use a cable release and use bulb to bring light into your picture .
F- Stop should be about F-8 to F- 11
