Playing with the Vivitar-Tokina 35mm 2.8f :)

Well finally I found a Nikon compatible 35mm within my price:) Total randomness below. I hope to be able to shoot some video soon with these lenses, to really take advantage of the low light possibilities.....But until then: 

Light and the Lack Thereof

Ok, so I figured I would upload some of my favorite shots.  Basically, these are all my attempts to find and enhance some interesting dynamics in the play between light and dark, source and the object. For the statues, they were all top lit, so in shooting them, I played from underneath, as I could be able to highlight the bright more by keeping the majority in the dark. Of course, these all have amazing color, so that helps:)

First Stills with my Nikkor 50mm 1.8f :)

Went out for some shenanigans with some of you hooligans.

Cool beans.

The "lion" shot

Playing with the Hexanon 50mm 1.7f :)

When I bought my Hexanon 50mm off eBay for 30 bucks, I didn't understand what flange length was. 

Now I understand.

And unfortunately, I am restricted to Macro-style photography with this particular lens.

But, whatever. I still think its really pretty:)
