Curious

Have not been out shooting that much lately, being busy with uni work. Here are a pair this morning of (unsurprisingly) my dog. I quite like the composition in the first one.

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/800 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 200

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/1000 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 200

'Please be thinking about giving me food' :)

Cars in a park

Or at least, a driveway. With trees.

Got to this location a little bit late, so the light was fading fast. Even at f/1.4 I needed my tripod after the first few shots (you can see the shutter speed dropping)

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/200 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 400

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/500 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 400

This shot could have been better, there are nasty reflections on the rear quarter, and the front is a little underexposed.

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/160 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 800

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 1/100 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 400

Nikon D90, 85 mm f/1.4 @ 85mm | 3.0 sec @ f/1.4, ISO 200

I was happy with this one on the camera screen, but the car is underexposed, with too many nasty reflections off the paintwork.

I also need to remember to use the exposure delay mode when shooting on a tripod. A lot of these photos have a small amount of blur due to vibrations from the mirror flipping up/down.
