Nudes with Canon 5D2 and 100mm USM f2.8 Macro

Another dull Sunday, the housework had been done, and, not feeling like joining the throngs out Christmas shopping we got he the Canon gear out, a couple of video lights and found some single cream in the fridge ...

One last quick snap

After our shoot Topsy was watching a Korean variety TV program on her MacbookAir, I saw she was obviously finding it hilarious, so grabbed a quick photo using my Fuji X-Pro1, with the 18 - 55mm Fujinon XF lens, which was the nearest camera.

Another miserable winter Sunday ...

Another dull windy December Sunday afternoon, so Topsy got out her makeup, she went for an Ava Gardner classic Hollywood glamour style, and I got out my Canon gear and we had a quick available light shoot.

Sunlight was fading fast so the ISO was set at 1600 and I shot wide open on the Canon 100mm f2.8 USM Macro and the Canon 85mm f1.8 USM.

Wet Sunday afternoon experimentation

Very wet, windy and overcast Sunday afternoon, so with nothing much else to do we got the Canon 5D2 kit out and had a play with some lighting.

During the session I used:
Canon 5D2, 2 x Canon Speedlight 430SXII, Canon ST-E2 IR flash trigger, Canon 50mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8 macro, 70-200mm f4 and 85mm f1.8.

The files were processed from the .CR2 raw files in Lr, Ps, Nik effects and Tonality.
