Self Portraits; 23rd Febuary 2010

.

My first attempt at portraiture today with the camera, the learning curve goes on. All these shots were taken on a Nikon D90 with Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Lens. The shots were taken using a remote trigger, the camera mounted on a tripod. An interesting exercise, some of the results were a little soft, due maimly to lighting, though focus an issue, may try manual focus next time out. I have no studio, the lighting was provided by a small lamp, used a dark blanket as a backdrop. Happy enough with the results all the same, not bad for a first attempt without proffesional studio equipment....

Old Town Street


A couple of hours strolloing around the Old Town here in Stockholm this afternoon proved fruitful, despite rather poor light. The whole place is bursting with interest and all manner of scenes capture the eye as you wander around the place. Despite the poor light in the winter, there is an advantage in less people in the area, this is a tourist mecca during the summer months, when an early morning start would be needed to find the winding alleyways empty. Best of the images taken today posted here...
All shots taken with Nikon D90 and Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Lens.
