Shot #31

Full moon and the sky was as clear as clear.  The reflected light on the carvings on the Marae entrance were something quite special.  I saw a similar effect yesterday, but didn't really get to work in time to get the shot.  Today, however, I was a little better prepared.  Not easy to gauge the exposure so I suppose I cheated a bit by using bracketing.  I could then select the one I liked the best to post here.

Remember, all shots in this 505050 blog are unmodified images from a dSLR with a 50mm lens.

Tripod mounted camera, 50mm lens, f4, 1.6 seconds, ISO 200.

There's an HDR version of this image on my flickr pages.  You might like to compare the two and see which you prefer ;-)

Shot #30

I had intended taking a shot of an old building.  I'd got myself all worked up to do this, but it just never happened.  I then drove past some talented kids at a skate park and took shots of them playing on bikes and skateboards ... bound to have a shot here I thought.

Not that easy as it happens to get a shot of people you've never met before doing something you know nothing about, but I tried and had quite a bit of fun in the process!

The kids were great and I reckon I'll head back again and try some more shots.

I didn't want to get too close to the kids, but wanted a shallow depth of field.  I also wanted a fast shutter to freeze them in mid air.

What do you think (there's a few more shote here btw.)?  

Shot #29

I was trying to think what I could do for my 505050 shot tonight and wifey really wasn't helping by suggesting I watered the garden due to a serious lack of rain.

Still trying to think of what I could get a shot whilst setting up the sprinkler I noticed the way the sunlight caught the fern leaf.  Even better was the way the sprinkler's droplets were illuminated by the sun, and set off rather nicely against the dark wall.   I suspect this shot is rather better than anything else I'd have achieved if left to my own devices!

Shutter speed was set reasonably slow to get some motion in the water droplets, and the aperture just enough to keep most of the fern in focus but ensure the ugly concrete block wall was blurred.

(Another shot you might like, but twiddled in Lightroom)

Shot #28

Jazz in the Park at Nathan Homestead.  Some of the musicians from yesterday's AUT concert were there and a great time was had by all.  I decided to put on the 50mm lens, set it wide open and try to get some close up shots of the players.  I quite like this shot of the sax player.  The red of his shirt just lifts the image.  I took quite a few shots (close to 500) and I'll post some more on my blog if you want to have a look.

The band?  It's called Allegro and if you get a chance to see them GO.  They're good ... very good.

Hand held, 50mm, 1/8000sec, f1.8, ISO200

Shot #27

Wow!  What a day!  We had a great time down at AUT's new Manukau Campus where the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra along with Anonymouz and his supporting musicians put on an excellent free concert!  We had a ball.  I took just under 800 shots in the two hours we were there and not a single one taken with the 50mm lens!!  Arggh!  This left me scratching about looking for a shot to post in the 505050 project.  Oner idea was to take a shot of the images taken at the concert (which is what you see as the first image in this post), but this seems too much like a cheat.

So, back at base and somewhat bedazzled by the events of the early afternoon I found it easier to download and look through the photos from the concert than get a 50mm shot.  I tried a few shots in the garden, but can't say I was overwhelmed by any of them.

I've been chopping back some of the trees on my property and have piled up a few bits to prepare for the fire.  I've been looking at this wee pile of wood and keep thinking there probably sufficient interest in there to make a picture.  I certainly hope so as this is shot #27!

Hand held, 50mm, f2.8, 1/60sec, ISO 200

(Take a look at some of the images from the concert on my blog)

Shot #26

I been quite taken with the idea of a long exposure as a way to get the idea of motion.  I've taken a couple of shots on the motorway, or on local roads where the lights of the cars blur into streaks and it looks pretty effective.  However, how to get a shot of things other than cars and their lights?  What about my son on his swing?  How to get the idea of motion without have just a blurred image? 

Well, that's the challenge!  I tried a few shots earlier today (some of you may have seen my first attempt?) and I decided I needed to use a flash to freeze the action at some point in my son's motion on the swing.  I tried all types of sync with the built in flash and really wasn't happy with the results.  I decided to wait for it to get darker.

Out came the old SunPak Autozoom 3600 Thyristor to be held by my daughter well away from camera. House lights were lit to illuminate the swing and the action started.  A few attempts were required to get the power of the flash right and I have to say the image you see here didn't in fact use the flash at all!  We'll play again, but not tonight.  The mosquitos are out in force.

Camera on a tripod, 50mm, f2.8, 1sec, ISO 200

Shot #25 ... Half way!

It's been raining and I was really quite taken with the puddles.  Well, that's a bit of a lie really.  I was taken with idea of taking photographs of the reflections in the puddles.  Unfortunately, the sun has come out and evaporated most of the puddles and then there wasn't a particularly good subject reflected in what was left of the puddles.  Oh well, I still have a few more days left with the 50mm lens so watch this space.  I suspect there'll be more rain so I'll get another chance to play with reflections.

In today's image you can just see a bit of the puddle in the upper left hand side of the image.  Anyway, whilst grovelling about on the floor trying to get some nice reflections I noticed the seeds from the liquid amber tree and decided to take a shot of this instead.  It seemed a great opportunity to play with a shallow depth of field again, so quite a wide aperture was selected to isolate the seed pod from its surroundings.  You'll get a pretty good idea of the depth of field by looking at the concrete near the seed pod.  There's not a lot in focus.

Hand held, 50mm, f2.8, 1/2000, ISO 200

Shot #24

One more shot to go and I'm half way.  Time really flies when you're enjoying yourself ;-)

Today's shot was taken inside the Marae at Manukau Institute of Technology.  There's some beautiful carvings in here created by some very talented people.  You may have already seen the outside of the Marae on some flickr shot I posted earlier?

The light levels were quite low inside the building, but the woodwork was quite dark also.  I would have to use flash or boost the ISO to get the shot.  Using the camera's flash wasn't really an option as I'd get some nasty shadows and reflections, so a high ISO and a wide aperture was chosen as the best line of attack.

I took a tripod with me, but as there were a few people milling around inside the Marae I elected to hand hold the camera.  Perhaps a bit of a mistake?

Hand held, 50mm, f2.8, 1/15sec, ISO1600

Shot #23

It's managed a little bit of rain today, but only enough to make the roads greasy and dampen down the dust really.  Nevertheless, rain droplets on leaves are always something I like, so today's shot is out the back again looking at a wet yucca leaf.  Shallow depth of field again so that only one leaf is focussed and the others give an interesting blur.  The 50mm lens is nice and sharp which is just what you want on the rain drops.  I took a few more pictures of this plant earlier this year, in fact it may have been the last time it rained!  Take a look here and here.  These two images have been cropped and the saturation enhanced.  The image you see in this post is an unmodified image straight from the camera.  Spot metering and focus on the raindrops in the centre of the leaf.

Hand held (with a brolley in one hand as it happens!), f1.8, 1/160, ISO 200.

Shot #22

Seriously lacking inspiration tonight after work, and in desperate need of a shot for the project, I left the house via the basement and noticed lots of plant pots on the shelf.  I was quite amused with the pot that was recycled from an HP print cartridge, my son's old Lego bucket that can act as a shower at the flick of a switch and the mixture of clay and plastic pots.  I was also quite taken with the seed head captured on the side of the green pot towards the centre of the frame.

So there's shot #22.  Not very inspired, hand held, 50mm, f2.8, 1/50second, ISO 200

Shot #21

Out for a ride on the bikes this afternoon I couldn't help but be taken by a sea of seed heads in the field through which we were riding.  Not only were they interesting to look at, but they made a cool noise as they rattled in the breeze.  I was keen to ensure the seed head didn't blur in the shot, so a reasonably quick shutter was required.  I didn't want the background to be too blurred either, so f5.6 gave a bit of detail, but not too much to detract from the subject of the shot.

Spot metering and spot exposure on the seed head and then focus set to continuous (in an attempt to keep focussing on the subject even though it was breezy).

Thankfully the sun came out to give the seed heads quite a lovely glow.  What do you think?

Hand held ... I was riding my bike remember :-) ... f5.6, 1/500sec, ISO 200

(There's a few more unmodified shots taken today with the 50mm lens on my other blog.  Have a squiz and let me know what you think.)

Shot #20

I really liked the way the early morning sun was illuminating the ferns outside the front door.  Having started to take photographs of the ferns I noticed the bleeding heart vine.  The reflected light off the leaves and the hint of structure on the door hinges seemed quite lovely (as was the texture in the brick to the bottom left of the image).

Spot metering on the flower and a pretty large depth of field.  The ISO was set ridiculously high due to playing at night the previous day and forgetting to check camera settings before becoming engrossed in the early morning shots.  Typical!

I suppose it's quite a busy image with lots of things at which yoiu can look.  Too busy?  Click on the image to get an enlarged view and let me know what you think.

Hand held, 50mm, f16, 1/640, ISO 3200

More shots taken this morning with the 50mm lens (and unmodified) are here.

Shot #19

Odd choice?  Probably!

I often wonder what make a good picture.  Is it what's in the image, or what's missing?  Is it what you can see, or what you imagine?

That's the inspiration behind this image.  To start with you may not realise what it is, but then you perhaps notice it's a mountain bike covered in mud.  Not all the bike is in the shot, just some nice angles with a hint of a wheel.  Again, a bit of a play on diagonals, and the hole for mounting the rear guards a tad off centre.

Did it intrigue you?  Make you think and imagine about how the dirt got there perhaps?  Let me know what you think.

Hand held, 50mm, f1.8, 1/60sec, ISO 3200

Shot #18

Looks like she's going to burst into song!

Waiting for the bus there were heaps of people milling about.  I couldn't help thinking there was so much potential for good shots, but how to get a shot without people posing, feeling embarrassed or feeling offended?

Not sure what to do, and not really wanting to get involved in conversations I set the camera to f5.6, ISO 200, auto focus and aperture priority.  I then just pointed the camera into the general direction of this charming girl.  I was amazed that I actually got something in the frame, let alone something as sharp as I managed.

The bus stop was full of people, and some really great photographic opportunities.  I think I'll head back again, be more open about what I'm doing and try a few more shots.

I suspect for street photography a wider angle lens would be better, but on the day all I has was the 50mm.  So there you go, today's shot was literally from the hip.

50mm, f5.6, 1/1250sec, ISO 200

Shot #17

I'm quite pleased with this shot, not sure why, but I'm pleased with it.  It's quite breezy presently and these catkins at the end of some twigs on my silver birch trees were moving about in a very lively fashion.  The wind would drop and I'd be in with a chance to get a shot, but it wasn't easy to focus on the lowest and closest catkin (which is the one I was after).  Click on the image for a larger view.

I thought the colours were quite lovely without the need for a polarizing filter or Photoshop.  Colour settings on my camera are "natural" which means the saturation levels are quite low.  Nevertheless, the blue of the sky, the odd white wispy cloud and the green of the leaves just before they turn their autumn colours have come out rather well.  I also liked the diagonal composition with the catkins ending in the lower part of the frame.  The distant out of focus leaves give a bit more depth to the image.

This time I used a larger depth of field really to protect myself against inaccurate focussing on the end catkins.  I felt 1/400 was sufficient to freeze the motion.  Let me know what you think.  I'd be intrigued to know if you're as enthusiastic about the image as I am ;-)

Hand held, 50mm, f8, 1/400, ISO 200.

Shot #16

Another quick snap in the backyard.  Pretty busy with things non-photographic and still battling with a sore head so the shot's not the best.  I'm very keen to get a shot a day and write something about it, but it's a lot more difficult than I originally thought it was going to be.  I could imagine scouts in the army examining their surroundings looking for the enemy to shoot, or, perhaps more importantly, to avoid being shot.  I'm doing something similar ... prowling the backyard looking for something to shoot.

Just under my lime tree is a little weed in the process of releasing seeds to generate yet more weeds.  Ideal candidate for a shallow depth of field?  Certainly isolates the seed head from its surroundings.  You can also appreciate just how dry it is here presently with the grass appearing less lush and green than usual.

Today's prowl saw me without tripod ... I just ran out to get the shot whilst the kettle was boiling!  However, the seeds seem pretty sharp even though it was handheld.  Click on the image to get an enlargement.

The image is unmodified remember and may benefit from a little more saturation (then again monochrome may be better).  What do you think?

Hand held, 50mm, f2.8, 1/320sec, ISO200

Shot #15

I suppose it's the old, somewhat decaying timber and the rather bent catches and hinges on the gates that appeal to me.  There's definitely some lovely textures and colours in the lichens, mosses and fungi.

So, today's shot was taken through one of the gates on my property with a view down towards my citrus trees.  I thought I'd like to keep this 'secret' so again a shallow depth of field that gives the idea of something green and pleasant, without being specific.  Focus on the gate is also rather soft with idea of making you 'see' the catch.  I've tried to put the catch in quite a powerful position in the frame, but also the left hand horizontal piece of timber.  Does it work?

Again, no modifications either in or out of camera.

Shot #14

Just happened to notice a monarch butterfly "fluttering" around the garden this afternoon and thought I might manage a shot for 505050.  I can't focus too close with my 50mm lens, I think it's about 45cm, and the butterfly seemed pretty "skittish".  Nevertheless I managed a shot when it landed on a hibiscus leaf.

Very strong sunlight and the background was a bit of a challenge!  The light colours you can see are in fact my work shirts which I definitely didn't want focussed.  Shallow depth of field, but not too much otherwise I'd get hardly any of the butterfly in focus.  The pose of the butterfly was quite nice too.  I have shots from the rear looking at its wings, but this image pleased me more.  Sort of a "ready for take off" type image.

Don't forget to click on the image then you'll get an enlargement of the picture.  You'll get a chance to appreciate how sharp the 50mm lens can be.  Let me know what you think.

Hand held, 50mm, f4, 1/2000sec, ISO 200

Shot #13

I'd noticed this bougainvillea in the garden and been quite taken with the almost monochrome background to the flowers ... well bracts.  Sometimes people desaturate parts of an image to emphasis others.  In this example the grey background of the kowhai tree trunk has given me the desaturated look I was after without the need for Photoshop.  Furthermore, there was nice dappled light playing on the bracts which I rather liked.

Again a pretty wide aperture as I wanted to blur the background so you can't tell there's a couple of tree trunks and a messy fence beyond the flowers.  Spot focus and exposure on the white flowers in amongst the red bracts.  So there you go, another image from the backyard.

50mm lens at f2.8, 1/640sec ISO 200

(If you like these flowers have a squiz here at some more shots with the 50mm lens and unmodified).


Oh ... if you click on the image you'll get an enlargement ... try it and let me know what you think :-)

Shot #12

It was vigorous at the previous house and the cuttings we brought with us have grown into a rather large Fijian Hibiscus.  Coming home tonight I was desperately trying to think of something I could take for the 505050 shot today.  There is was, this pink hibiscus looking at me through the living room window.  All I had to do was open a window, compose the picture and take the shot.  Pretty in pink?  What do you think?

50mm, f8, 1/125sec, ISO 200

Shot #11

Sadly the 50mm lens doesn't let me get as close as I'd like to the eye.  I fancied a nice close-up, but I'd need  a different lens for that.  I wanted to capture the concentration expressed in the eye, and avoid any distractions from anything else in the frame.  Aperture was f4 as I was finding it tricky to maintain focus at f1.8.  Nevetheless due to the close focus of the lens much of the background is blurred.  The image is surprisingly sharp around the eye and the eyelashes are particularly crisp.

Do you get the impression of concentration, or did I miss the plot totally?

50mm, f4, 1/80sec, ISO 800

A couple more unprocessed images taken with the 50mm lens today

Shot #10

I'm only ten shots into the project and already I'm finding the lens to be more of a telephoto than I expected.  Don't get me wrong, I like the lens.  It's just that most times I pick it up to shoot what I see isn't what I expected.  I suppose this is all part of learning about the lens so I should consider this a good thing.

On arrival home from work I noticed a rather pretty contrast between a bright red geranium and the darker green background of the trees and grass.  This would be a great shot I thought.  Shallowish depth of field to blur the background but not too much so that you could still pick out the deck chair.  There's also a Silver Birch tree trunk that I've tried to get on a golden mean.

The light was pretty harsh.  Very dark shadows and rather bright highlights.  I tackled this by bracketing the shot and then selecting the image that looked the best.  Remember I'm not allowing myself to crop or modify the image in camera or in post production.  The result is as you see to the left.

50mm lens, f5.6, 1/250sec, ISO 200

So, what do you think.  Pretty, or not?  Check out the HDR version of the same shot.  Which do you prefer?

Shot #9

Autumn is upon us here in New Zealand and the leaves are changing.  Each year we seem to get significantly more leaves on the ground than there ever appeared to be on the trees!  I'm often taken by the shapes and colours of the leaves and this evening noticed this rather strange leaf on which the green has remained along the leaf veins.  In an attempt to ensure there was a reasonable depth of field I used f8 and I think most of the "stuff" in the image is in focus.

Interesting image, or a pile of rubbish?  Perhaps you can let me know :-)

50mm, f8, 1/25second, ISO 200.

Shot #8

Still no shots taken by 5pm today and I was a little mystified as to what I was going to shoot.  I tried some images of trees at my workplace, but wasn't impressed, then when I got home most shots seemed "soft" rather than as crisp as I'd have liked.  Shooting with a wide aperture like f1.8 means it's easy to get things out of focus by a slight movement.  Much better to shoot with a tripod, but for some of the shots I was attempting - flowers in a hanging basket for example - my tripod just wasn't tall enough.  Arggh!

Somewhat frustrated with my hand held efforts I used a tripod to get the shot you see in this post.  This is much crisper than my handheld effort of the same scene, but a tad lacking in depth of field.  Not all of the nest is focussed, but it's an interesting shot nevertheless.

f1.8, 1/640sec, ISO 200, 50mm.

So, good use of a shallow depth of field?  Too shallow?  Comments, as always, are very welcome.

Shot #7

Still playing with depth of field, this shot was again taken at f1.8 in an attempt to focus your attention on the sign, but then give a bit of a hint as to what was actually at the substation.  I felt that by blurring the background the viewer wouldn't be overwhelmed by the detail of the transformers, cables and other gadgetry at the site.  Slanting the sign and the faint overhead cables assist in keeping the eye in the frame.  I'm a little disappointed with the exposure ... I think it's overexposed, and a little bit of a crop would help remove the green patch bottom left.  What do you think?

50mm, f1.8, 1/8000 sec, ISO 200

Shot #6

I'd been up pretty early this morning taking a friend to Auckland so she could set off on a trip up north.  I'd been using my 50mm lens, but I was having difficulty with the light.  Very bright highlights and very dark shadows.  Looking at the images they really needed a bit of a tweek and the idea behind this blog is to post images that haven't had any form of post processing.

Later in the day we headed south to Wattle Downs and took the camera.  The view you see to the left was taken with the 50mm lens set at f16 with ISO 200 and a shutter speed of 1/125sec.

My plan as I started this project has been to use a very shallow depth of field, but today has been different.  I really needed as much as possible to be in focus to help the viewer feel part of the scene.  Try clicking on the image to enlarge it and you'll get a better appreciation of just what is in focus.

The image is also quite a bit different to previous efforts which definitely can't be thought of as landscapes!  Quite often people think landscapes are synonymous with wide angle lenses, but I don't think this really is the case.  Let me know what you think.

Shot #5

I took the camera to work in the hope of getting some shots around the buildings, but it never happened.  Today was very busy with one thing and another so I had to wait until I got home before I managed a shot for the blog.

The sun was quite low in the sky which have quite a nice "glow" to things in the garden.  You can get a bit of an idea of this "glow" on the stalks in the image.

I tried to put the white flower in a strong position in the image, and also take advantage of a diagonal line with the stalk of the plant.  The grotty fence behind the plant needed to be out of focus, and I think we achieved that at least!

I'm still trying to use f1.8 to get a shallow depth of field and being careful on what I focus in the shot.  However, for this shot I used f2.8, average metering, but spot exposure on the little white "flower" in the midst of the red bracts.

I mentioned earlier that it was busy at work, so I was pretty tired on arrival home.  I have to admit the camera settings are a tad bizarre!  ISO 800!!!  Nevertheless, the shot isn't too noisy.

ISO 800, f1.8, 1/3200sec 50mm

Shot #4

What a lovely view over the Dilworth Building this morning.  Time was about 7.15am and the moon graced us with its presence in a clear blue sky.  Again the image is unmodified save conversion from RAW to JPEG.
I think I was more impressed with the view this morning than I am with the image I see now to be honest.  I've played with this shot and posted a single shot HDR here.  Looking at them both I think I prefer the unmodified version.  Let me know what you think.  You'll also see some of the other images I toyed with posting here before settling on this one of the moon.

F4, 1/640sec, ISO 200 50mm

Shot #3

I'm still shooting with the lens wide open and exploring the background blur (bokeh) the lens can offer.  I'm intrigued with any differences in blur as the distance from the focussed object changes.  Today it's been quite bright and sunny which made the metrosideros positively glow.  Getting in as close as possible to the flower helped decrease the depth of field so I could better see any differences in blur.  Honestly, I can't really see much!  However, I was pleasantly surprised with how sharp the image appears to say it was shot wide open with what must be Nikon's cheapest lens.  Click on the image below and you'll get an enlarged image.

As in previous images in 505050 this image was shot RAW then converted to JPEG using Nikon's NX2 without any modifications to contrast, brightness, saturation or image size via a crop.  Let me know what you think.

Image shot on 50mm lens at f1.8, 1/6400sec, ISO 200

Shot #2

Out in the garden again and keen to have a go with the lens wide open.  The 50mm lens didn't really get as close as I'd have liked and I suppose under normal circumstances I'd have cropped this and probably have lightened it slightly.

Exposure and focus were on spot again and I was looking at the central part of the flower.  I was really looking to get a nice, even, green background in an attempt to make the flower stand out.  I was happy for parts of the flower's petals closest and furthest away from the camera to be out of focus.

In an attempt to get a bit more interest into the image I tilted the camera slightly to make the flower's stalk appear on the diagonal rather than vertically.

Shot taken at f1.8, 1/1250sec, ISO 200.

So what do you think?  Too dark, or just right?

Shot #1 1st March 2010

My first image.  I thought I'd start with a series of images that have a shallow depth of field.  This image was taken inside using natural light only, spot metering and focus on a house plant's flower.  With the potential for camera shake (there's no VR on my 50mm lens) I opted to use a tripod.

I wanted the head of the flower to be in quite a powerful position in the image and was quite taken with the background shapes and colours.  Unfortunately, there's no hints in my viewfinder as to where the golden ratios are and I'm not going to use Lightroom and the crop overlays.

I've felt pretty rough today, so the quality of the image isn't the best.  Perhaps when I'm less likely to be sick the images will improve ... lets hope so.

f1.8, 1/125sec, ISO 200, 50mm

The plan

A bit of fun with a 50mm lens.  That's the idea.  One shot a day for 50 consecutive days with a 50mm lens.  Furthermore, no tweaks or twiddles with Lightroom, Photoshop, NX2, Photomatix Pro, Hugin or anything else.  Images are straight from the camera.  OK, I'll shoot RAW so they'll be converted to JPEG, but other than that they're straight off the camera.

The body is a Nikon D300 and the lens is the 50mm f1.8.  All feedback good or bad is most welcome as is encouragement to keep going in order to complete the fifty shots!

So why a 50mm lens?  I suppose it's because rather more years ago than I care to remember my first decent SLR came with a pretty good 50mm f1.7 lens (in fact I still have the camera as you can see in the image to the left).  This 50mm lens was all I had, and I was shooting with Kodachrome 25 and Kodachrome 64 slide film. This meant I wasn't doing any cropping or darkroom dodging or twiddles.  At the time I can recall the pictures seemed fine.  Quite a few oohs and aahs when the images were projected on the screen.  Oh, and there was an interesting side effect.  I actually got to appreciate the camera and the lens; I got to know its strengths and weaknesses and could "see" the picture prior to bringing the camera to my eye.  Instead of being befuddled with numerous lenses from which to choose, I had no choice and had to make the 50mm lens work.  This meant moving my legs, changing angles and perspectives from which the shot was made rather then rotating a zoom ring.

So why now?  Well, there's another 50 in there as well.  It happens to be my age!  So, thirty years after my first attempt with a 50mm lens it's time to try again.  That's where the 505050 comes from.  50 shots in 50 days at 50 years of age.

Using the Nikon will be interesting as the focal length is a little longer than the 50mm on the Pentax due to the cropped sensor.  This time, in 35mm terms, I'll be using a 75mm lens.  This offers some interesting possibilities for short telephoto type shots and, of course, those with a shallow depth of field.

Please tag along as I take my shots and give feedback ... I'm certain I'll need a bit of encouragement as the days pass by :-)
