Outdoor session with Devey - 7 Photos (En-My)

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

Hello and hi again everyone in the community. How are you guys today? I hope that you had a great day. Today I want to share another series of black and white portraiture with Devey. This photo was taken during our outdoor photoshoot at Kinabalu Park. It was suppose to be a photography workshop but it was changed to an outdoor portrait photoshoot. The journey to Kinabalu Park took about one hour and forty five minutes from the studio. We gathered at the studio early in the morning and went to breakfast before we went to the Kinabalu Park. Along the way the weather was great, but when we are near to our destination the weather changed. It went raining for a while, but luckily when we arrived at our destination the rain had stopped. We went straight to our shooting place and after a few minute of briefing and introduction of our models and photographers we started the photoshoot session.

Hello dan hai sekali lagi semua orang dalam komuniti. Apa khabar kawan-kawan hari ini? Saya harap anda mempunyai hari yang hebat. Hari ini saya ingin berkongsi satu lagi siri potret hitam putih dengan Devey. Gambar ini diambil semasa outdoor photoshoot kami di Kinabalu Park. Ia sepatutnya menjadi bengkel fotografi tetapi ia telah ditukar kepada pemotretan potret luar. Perjalanan ke Taman Kinabalu mengambil masa kira-kira satu jam empat puluh lima minit dari studio. Kami berkumpul di studio awal pagi dan pergi sarapan sebelum kami ke Taman Kinabalu. Sepanjang perjalanan cuaca bagus, tetapi apabila kami hampir dengan destinasi kami, cuaca berubah. Hujan turun sekejap, tapi nasib baik bila sampai di destinasi hujan dah berhenti. Kami terus ke tempat penggambaran kami dan selepas beberapa minit taklimat dan pengenalan model dan jurugambar kami memulakan sesi penggambaran.

I used the 135mm G Master lens from Sony for this shoot. I was not used to the focal length of the lens and I had to move back more than I used to. (85mm was my longest focal length lens that I own). The Lens is great for portrait the bokeh quality is superb. All the details on the face was very sharp and it did not missed focus on any of my photos taken during this time. The focus was very fast. I am very thankful for the weather during the photoshoot session, it was an overcast sky but the lighting was still good for photo. It create a soft shadow and it was great for portrait. Devey was having a lot of fun during the photoshoot session because of the cool weather and the place is just great. We had seven photographer during this photo session. We had to take turn on taking photo. As I am using the 135mm focal length, Other photographer that using a wide lens cannot be taking photos in front of me. We took turn taking photos of Devey.

Saya menggunakan kanta 135mm G Master daripada Sony untuk penggambaran ini. Saya tidak biasa dengan panjang fokus kanta dan saya terpaksa bergerak ke belakang lebih daripada biasa. (85mm ialah kanta jarak fokus terpanjang saya yang saya miliki). Lens sangat bagus untuk potret, kualiti bokeh adalah hebat. Semua butiran di muka sangat tajam dan ia tidak terlepas fokus pada mana-mana gambar saya yang diambil pada masa ini. Tumpuannya sangat pantas. Saya sangat bersyukur dengan cuaca semasa sesi penggambaran, langit mendung tetapi pencahayaan masih bagus untuk bergambar. Ia mencipta bayang lembut dan ia bagus untuk potret. Devey sangat seronok semasa sesi pemotretan kerana cuaca yang sejuk dan tempatnya sangat bagus. Kami mempunyai tujuh jurugambar semasa sesi bergambar ini. Kami terpaksa mengambil giliran mengambil gambar. Memandangkan saya menggunakan jarak fokus 135mm, Jurugambar lain yang menggunakan kanta lebar tidak boleh mengambil gambar di hadapan saya. Kami bergilir-gilir mengambil gambar Devey.

This half body horizontal shoot had me went all the way to the back. Luckily the balcony of the place was long enough for me to take my place.

Vertical close up shoot : EXIF [ ISO - 200 | f 1.8 | 1 / 1000 sec | 135mm | 0 step exposure bias ]

The close up shoot with the 135mm lens is just great. It produce very sharp image with great bokeh. It just that when shooting a closeup head shoot a slight turn of the face can give a blurred effect on the farthest plane from the focus area. As this shoot the right side area of the photo have the eyes sharp and in focus, but on the left side of the photo area the eyes already become blurred. For me its a great lens but, for me it was a little bit hard to master on using this focal length. As for full body shoot it is already great, but for closeup, I still need to be very careful on which 'f' stop to use and the angle of the face to get more of the face details.

And that is all from me today. I hope that you guys like it. Thank you for visiting and until we meet again on the next post. Have a good day and stay safe. Cheers.

Penangkapan dekat dengan kanta 135mm sangat bagus. Ia menghasilkan imej yang sangat tajam dengan bokeh yang hebat. Cuma apabila merakam gambar kepala dekat, pusingan sedikit muka boleh memberikan kesan kabur pada satah paling jauh dari kawasan fokus. Semasa penangkapan ini, kawasan sebelah kanan foto mempunyai mata yang tajam dan fokus, tetapi di sebelah kiri kawasan foto mata sudah menjadi kabur. Bagi saya ia adalah lensa yang hebat tetapi, bagi saya ia agak sukar untuk dikuasai menggunakan jarak fokus ini. Bagi penggambaran seluruh badan ia sudah bagus, tetapi untuk jarak dekat, saya masih perlu berhati-hati pada hentian 'f' yang mana untuk digunakan dan sudut muka untuk mendapatkan lebih banyak butiran wajah.

Dan itu sahaja daripada saya hari ini. Saya harap anda semua menyukainya. Terima kasih kerana sudi berkunjung dan sehingga berjumpa lagi di post seterusnya. Salam sejahtera dan kekal selamat. Cheers.
