Photograph and Camera talk

Went to my first post pandemic car show and did a couple of reflections in chrome.

@weftyarn Sorry that I don’t have anything clever or constructive to say other than Fucking Brilliant!

@weftyarn I’m finding that your framing and choices of focal point’s recently are outstanding! Your pictures have always been good, but recently are becoming great!!

Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing

[Jett129]

@goosehd I agree with you 100%… Classic @weftyarn

[weftyarn]

Thanks so much guys @goosehd @Jett129

I also feel like there’s a certain improvement. It’s most apparent when I look at my shots from 5 years ago when I startet. They were way more technical back then, I got better at framing and most importantly at the story telling part.

Also, I just picked up something that will bring a different perspective to this thread so to speak.

To make it a little fun, we‘re gonna play a game:
Guess the focal length (or for the more advanced: Guess the lens)

Answers can of course be in Full Frame Equivalent @Jett129

Two tips: Pics are uncropped, shot on Fuji APSC and I only shoot primes.

[Jett129]

@weftyarn These don’t look as wide as the other set,and from reading your previous posts,I don’t think you have any ,especially,long lenses. So I would guess between 35-50mm. Gun to my head and I’d go with 50mm.

@weftyarn those are sick!

[goosehd]

@weftyarn 85mm?

[Nocturama]

I’d assume around 100mm from the 4th photo (unless you’re up a ladder!), and the narrow depth of field in the first would suggest no more than f2.8 to me…interesting challenge.

[weftyarn]

@Jett129 its actually a lot longer than what I’m used to. A step out of the comfort zone so to speak

@goosehd @Nocturama youre both pretty close!! It’s actually a Fuji 90mm f2.0 (135mm Full Frame equivalent).

A bit of a niche lens but holy cow is it fast, sharp and bokehlicious!! Been eyeing it for a while, now looking forward to go all out with it on our upcoming trip to Indonesia

[goosehd]

@weftyarn That is awesome, especially in f2.0. I can imagine it's fast and probably expensive...

A couple from The Asbury Park Circuit,which is a revitalization of something that previously took place in the 70s and 80s. Reflections in Chrome.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 love it and quite psychedelic!!

[Jett129]

@goosehd Thanks,There’s quite a few photographers at these events,some of which are really good (steve_666 on IG) but I’m trying to do something a little bit different. I think if I printed one of these on canvas it might be really cool.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 My favourite of the two is the bottom one where the people are pictured. The entire picture has a dreamlike feel and the colours and slight distortion makes it very “trippy”.

[Jett129]

@goosehd I feel that a reflection in and of itself is a distorted image,and because of that I lean into the distortion as opposed to trying correct it. Kind of like leaning into the wind when riding.

Something else from that night that might help to convey what the general vibe is like at the Asbury Park Circuit.
