Testing the 85mm 1.4 GM II at Sony’s Event

I had the chance to test out the new 85mm 1.4 GM II lens at a Sony event. Professional dancers were brought in to perform, and let me tell you, this lens is incredibly sharp, even at its widest aperture of f/1.4.

One of the standout features is the manual aperture ring, which allows you to adjust the aperture directly on the lens rather than through the camera.

Stills from castle De Haar. Quite lucky with the beautiful cloudscapes. And a bit of a different scenery I must say. Note: this is without AI sky replacement! and a lazy man's edit.

Some results of the latest collaboration with Sheraton Grand Danang Resort.

These are taken at the royal suite, which is ranked higher than the presidential suite. Entrance is by elevator. Imagine taking photos at a place where royal families have stayed.

Full Behind the scenes video is in the making.

Discovered this new coffee shop with absolutely gorgeous scenery. Bit out on the country side. But absolutely fun for a relaxed afternoon chill.

Playing around with the Dehancer presets.

Film emulators are kinda fun to play around with!
This is the Kodak supra 100 grade. And this actually makes it so easy to apply a set of different colors.

I usually edit my greens a bit to the yellow side, and apply vignette, nothing to fancy, as photos are pretty awesome the way they come out of my camera.

But having a tab of film presets open that you can apply, actually opens up a whole new can of options. And I love how this enables you to play around as a photographer.

Anyway, yesses or nos? 😎

Back in 2014, my journey into photography began with a simple family trip to Italy. It was there, in the streets of Rome and Florence, that I clicked my very first pictures. It wasn't just about capturing moments back then;

I was constantly blown away by the depth of field, the background blur and the beauty of every shot ha. Little did I know about what photography would do to me.

Fast forward to nearly a decade later, and this journey has taken me to some of the most incredible places on Earth.

This delightful photoshoot in Hoi An with this charming family. 🤩

We focused on natural, candid moments rather than posed shots.

No "Awkward posing", just staying in the moment.

I'm writing out and testing a small prompt guide.
Playful actions to keep everyone engaged and in the moment.

The most entertaining and playful ones so far:

1. The superhero pose!
2. A high five train
3. Dance Like No One's Watching
4. Develop a Secret Handshake
5. Eskimo Kisses!

Lola! What you see here is the Dehancer film emulation plugin with Kodak Portra 800.

Colorgrading your footage to get that film look gets quite a lot easier and I feel lucky Dehancer has reached out to try their looks.

One of the benefits of using Davinci is, they know their colorgrading, converting footage automatically into rec.709. And with a few extra clicks you get to turn your footage into any film look you want. Quite nice.

A Before and After shot, using the Dehancer photoshop plugin. Creating quite a nostalgic film look. Not sure how to feel, because it's not my normal style. What are your thoughts?
