Photograph and Camera talk

Beautiful shots, @Jestocost and what a nice setup, I’ve heard good things only about that canon 50 1.2…

[weftyarn]

I already posted in the party thread, but figured it’d make sense to post here to, as some of you might not be following along over there and still be interested.
So here’s some of my favorite shots from last weekend.

All on my XT4 + 23mm 1.4 / 56mm 1.2
So glad I took the 56 with me.. It’s just made for outdoor candid portraits.

*Holy cow… Sorry for the flood of pics here. I’m obviously not the best at making decisions

Very nice. ^

Great shots!  Love the contrast and colors.

@weftyarn appreciate it, man. The 50 has been with me since like 2015-16, and to this day it's my favorite camera-related purchase.

Beautiful bokeh on the party photos. The colors give it all a very dream-y feeling. How do you like the Fuji rig, by the by? I've been a full-frame Canon man since day 1… I had no idea APS-C had come far enough to get pictures like that.

Thanks guys!!

@Jestocost I absolutely love my Fuji kit! Transitioned from a Sony A6000 about two years ago, so I never shot anything but APSC and can’t really tell the difference to Full Frame from first hand experience.

I can tell though, that with the right lens, awesome Bokeh can be achieved!!

Some of the lenses I’ve used that can achieve absolutely gorgeous Bokeh:

Fuji 23mm 1.4
Fuji 35mm 1.4
Samyang 35mm 1.2 (Manual)
Samyang 50mm 1.2 (Manual)
Fuji 56mm 1.2

The Fuji 90mm 2.0 is an absolute stunner, too. But very expensive considering the limited versatility with that focal length. Here’s some sample shots I found online:

@weftyarn you’ve got quite the eye! Perfect choices on lenses that you utilized. Really enjoyed your shots from the anni.

Hurricane Fiona brought the waves to Bradley Beach,NJ this week.   

[goosehd]

@Jett129 great action shots.  Did your area receive much damage?  Eastern Canada took quite a hit with homes, roads, and power grids destroyed.

Hoping all of the Eastern Canadians are going to come out ok.

[Jett129]

Thanks,No damage,just waves and wind,which hampered the surfers to some degree.

[weftyarn]

As always, awesome shots @Jett129

The third one is my favorite!

[Jett129]

Thanks @weftyarn A lot of cropping going on,much to the surfers dismay,as they want to see more of the wave,and I’m trying to show the action and crop into the direction that the surfer is moving. Try to imagine if there were Baseball cards for surfers,what would they look like.

From my recent visit to WinStar Farm in Versailles,KY.

Another one from WinStar Farm.

I'm assuming because that is KY, it is pronounced Ver-sales….
