Hi Stuart,

No, just the 645 unfortunately, you'll get a similar effect with a 50mm F1.4 or a 85mm F1.4, the lighting was just natural light and Em's skin tones did the rest

I have advertised my Sigma 85mm F1.4 on here which is still available should you be interested.

A shoot from last weekend with the lovely Em Theresa at the Natural Light Studio nr Northampton,

645z with 150mm F2.8 mostly at F5.6 - 1/100 sec - 100 ISO

I like #10 with the Shard in the background.

I think both well caught respectively 😊

Fully agree on the unnecessary need to machine gun static targets, I did a shoot with some static aircraft recently and experienced exactly the same thing, along with other shoots I've done either organised or not.

The great thing with the aircraft shoot was along with myself, there were 4 other Pentax shooters there as well, with a similar number of togs overall

Within striking distance this time, with a 1.4 TC on the 150 - 450 so safe enough for them and me !!

Excellent effect, may be me, I cant quite work out if you've dropped the nail varnish in to the tank or placed it and its leaked out ?

The contrasting colours are superb against the black BG and the quick burst of flash has caught the movement superbly.

Hi Mcpieman, nope pixel shift not used,

I ran with both 3200 and 6400 ISO depending on the light available just with a 24 - 70mm Zoom, I did use the tripod more as a monopod as there was approx. 50 photographers in the hanger fairly close together and I was more flexible this way, shutter speeds were around 1/8th to 1/16 sec and F5,6 ish

There's loads of room, you will get the odd inconsiderate photographer walk right in front of you, but 98% of them are considerate and will walk around you or wait or shoot alongside you.

I shot most of mine with a 24mm to 70mm F2.8 on a full frame camera, I did some pilot portraits with a 70 - 200 F2.8, I did take a 14mm F2.8 fixed, but didn't use it.

The night stuff is good and your all generally shooting from a wide semi-circle away form the aircraft, I used the 24-70 for this and cropped in a little, you will need a tripod for the night stuff.

Well worth it, I went in the museum prior to the shoot, so had 4 hours around that beforehand., and its free. If you see the staff in the museum, and mention the Timeline shoot in the afternoon, they'll give you a carpark pass saving you £4.
