Maisie was a wonderful model and a pleasure to shoot. She is fun, playful, nice, and single. I’m not sure where the line starts, but you better find out and get in it!
Shot with D700 + 85mm 1.4 with a sb-800 on camera left with the dome diffuser. I tried to cover up the flare with my hand, but I was unable to block all of it. Overall it looks pretty cool though.
Make up was done by Audrey.
Come on ladies, how can you resist? Mason is a MD… Master Director of Human Resources. He herds sheepish people like you and me onto the road of success.
He is seriously one of the nicest people I’ve met; his kind, gentle, and playful spirit really shines through.
Shot with D700 + 85 1.4, natural light.
By the way, I’ve always thought the Nikon 85mm 1.4 to be not very sharp at f/1.4. Boy was I wrong. I think my previous attempts at using this lens were full of fail due to insanely low light, crazy high iso (talking iso 4000+), and barely passable shutter speeds (1/80s). Shooting in broad daylight at 1.4 was a treat.
It’s important to keep things in perspective, to reflect on your life – and if you’re dumb like me, you need some ripples to trigger that reflection. Been pretty down lately just because it feels like we’ve lost our way. Talked to Audrey earlier tonight, and the feeling was mutual. We both miss a lot of things we had at the beginning of our relationship. Things change, people change, we’ve both lost our way in the scramble of things.
Tonight, we reflected and reminisced about things that we missed, things that have changed, and things we would like to have back. This is so important because now we know what we need to do to make each other happy again.
This photo I took at the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon reminded me of how important it is to step back from all distractions and reflect once in a while – where is my place in this world? What is wrong, and what is right in my life? How do I make it better?
Anyway, enough about my ramblings – this photo was taken with the D700 + 80-200 2.8 AFS, natural light. No strobist stuff today since I went on a free admissions day and it was insanely crowded. So much for going to the garden for peace eh?
Have a great day/week, until next time.
