Simplicity in Shadow

Sometimes we overlook the boring, the everyday as we pass it by in our daily lives. I have written about this before — about my assertion that it is important to carry a small camera with you in your day to day more and more so that you can observe and capture more simple images. This image is nothing to brag about, but it has balance and simplicity to it I feel, how the shadow of the building reveals a simple triangle of green grass adorned with a solitary late-season Dandelion in June. I made this image out front of Photocreative, on my way in to work today with a Leica and 50mm Summicron-M, Sunny 16 Rule...1/250 sec f/11, ISO 160.

Another great waterfall image by Photocreative customer Craig Brown! Again at Albion Falls in Hamilton (area), this image was made earlier this month on Craig’s Canon EOS 5D Mark II w/ EF 24-105mm lens, 100 ISO, 0.5 seconds at F/22. He spot-metered the image for correct exposure.

On the way back in to Photocreative, I noticed the Leica sign (round, backlit) and couldn’t resist! Shot on a Nikon D3 with the new Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24mm f/1.4G ED Nano lens, focussed precisely at the sharp point in the red circle-part of the letter ‘e’ and everything else is wonderfully blurry. I am sure wedding, portrait, landscape, travel and stock-shooters are going to love this lens!! AND, it is a bargain at less than 1/3 the price of the Leica 24mm f/1.4 M lens to boot. ;)
Another from the new Nikon 24mm f/1.4G

Next, I looked through a D3 at the only real big tree we have around in-front of Photocreative with the awesome new Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24mm f/1.4G ED Nano lens, Very shallow depth of field when shot wide-open at f/1.4, yet sharp where it was focussed and dreamy bokeh everywhere else.
