The devil in the details

7 02 2012

Part of a series on musicians and artists, we shot this in a park in central Tokyo. Just by isolating certain details, the shot works. I pushed a bit more light into the picture with a 120J inside a softbox, shooting 1/640th at F2.2 on an 85mm lens. On the D1x, an ‘out-of-date’ camera.

I must admit, along with a million other Nikon users, I’ve been waiting patiently for specs of the new D4 and D800 to be announced. The first thing I looked at was the flash sync speed……hmm 1/250th? still? well I guess I’ll be waiting patiently for the D900 and D5 to roll around then?
