Some Pics and Ideas
My sister and I visited her friend, Mark Brooks, at his farm. Mark is a world-class iris gardener. He showed us his iris, and we tried to photograph them. I used a 200mm micro nikkor on my D850.
Front lighting is easier to manage and gives a classic flower look.
But back lighting can be more dramatic if you can get it right. (I usually did not, but I made a lot of attempts.)
There is a lot of action on the streets in Barcelona. This picture was taken outside the Picasso Museum, which was fantastic, by the way.
I used Photoshop’s almost magic camera raw “adjustment brush” on my raw file to help control the contrast here.
Pretty much the same there as here in Kansas, USA.
Click twice to zoom in close to see the D850 shine on skin and hair detail.
Zoom lenses are certainly convenient, but I will always love prime lenses. Nikon 50mm f1.4G lens at f5.
It was pretty dark in this church in San Sebastian, Spain, but I was still able to get good photos with my 24-120mm zoom, which has a maximum aperture of F4. I like to use the “auto ISO feature” which can be configured to specify a maximum ISO and a minimum shutter speed. Alternatively, you can let the camera choose taking into account the focal length you are using.
