お上品さ素晴らしい！ひふみん紅葉似合う！

この日は135mmとタムロン85mmしか使わなかったけど標準ズームだとこの木漏れ日感がちょっと無くなっちゃうんよなぁ。広角側使うともっと拾えるのだけど今年はレンズ増えたし紅葉は単焦点でいこうと思いました

Last year, for over two weeks I had the opportunity to shoot at the 8th London Iranian Film Festival at Cine Lumiere in South Kensington and Greenwood Theatre at King’s College five minutes stroll from London Bridge.

I felt blessed to have the opportunity to shoot at this festival. The ambience and the aesthetics of the buildings are brilliant for photography.

They are those kind of places I have only dreamt of shooting inside. And they are not the type of places I would normally frequent so this was the perfect opportunity to shoot inside.

Shooting at this festival was a challenge. I was not familiar with the people and I was shooting people that I would probably never meet on a day to day basis. These are people from a totally different culture and place.

All images were shot using the ambient light. No speedlites were used.

As a photographer, I was expected to blend in and be invisible. However, sometimes, shooting doesn’t aways work like that.

There are instances where you will establish rapport with subjects and capture images that would be impossible to capture while being invisible such as the featured image above.

So, striking that balance was a challenge. One that I think I managed to bridge quite well.

Even though you are supposed to be invisible, you will always mingle with people and that is a test of your people skills, and how adept you are at navigating social landscapes without slipping up or putting your boot into your mouth.

Your interpersonal skills are probably as equally as important as your technical skills. They both have an impact on your work. If you are lacking in one aspect, it will reflect in your body of work.

My biggest challenge was shooting using the ambient light. I had no control of the light. I could only choose my perspective, and pockets where there was good, flattering or better light.

The idea of shooting with high ISO speeds on a crop sensor camera is not one that I like very much and try to avoid as much as I can.

But sometimes, like these when flash is prohibited, you have no choice but to work with the available light. Most buildings are notorious for low light that is not designed for photography but for ambience. So there is always going to be some compromise and getting that just right is the challenge.

However, shooting ambient light is a good skill to have in your arsenal in case you find yourself in a situation like the one I was in.

I am glad I had this challenge because it is the ultimate test that shows you how good or bad you are when you have to work with the available light, and can’t add extra lighting into a scene which means you have to pay more attention to the light, and how it shapes or illuminates your subject.

Not only did I get to shoot some wonderful and beautiful people, I also got to watch some good movies. I had not been in a movie theatre in a good twenty years and I was glad to be back watching some different movies and not the same old Hollywood cliches.

I also had the opportunity to test some new lenses [one new and two secondhand] that I recently acquired. These were the Canon EF-S 24mm F2.8 STM [images in slideshow below], Canon EF 85mm F1.8 USM and the Canon EF 135mm F2.8 softfocus lenses.

They are affordable lenses and they are all brilliant considering their prices. The first lens is good value for money and on a crop sensor body, it is great for wide angle shots when you need a fast lens that is good in low light and sharp.

You can shoot handheld at very low shutter speeds and still get images that are tack sharp or reasonably sharp.

The Canon 135mm F2.8 Soft Focus Lens is another lens that is quite enjoyable to shoot with. I didn’t get to play with the soft focus settings but it has a very dreamy look wide open.

Image captured with the Canon EF 135mm F2.8 Soft Focus Lens. I shot this image at ISO 800 at 1/125s and F2.8. It looks pretty sharp wide open for a handheld shot on a 135mm lens on a crop sensor camera. It is usable and can’t fault the image.

It is reasonably sharp in the centre, and soft towards the edges but gets very sharp as you step it down. The downside is that it has no image stabilisation and you need to shoot at a high shutter speed to get sharp images because of the focal length of the lens or brace yourself if you shoot at anything less than 1/80s – 1-/100s.

It is an excellent lens for head shots, and perfect if you want to be invisible because of the focal length. On a full frame it is a perfect 135mm lens but on a crop sensor camera, it is a whopping 216mm or 215mm if we round it off.

I love it even more because I got it for sixty pounds. It was a giveaway. I had to travel across London to pick it up meaning I ended up running pretty late for my gig but it was one I had to get it and it was worth it as illustrated in the images below.

The isolation and compression plus the bokeh of this lens is awesome. I was glad to have the opportunity to put it to the test in a real environment to see how it works.

The focus is not strikingly fast but adequate for a lens that was first released in 1987. It works with the AFD focusing system while other newer lenses use either the USM or latest STM technology.

I have never used the Canon 135mm F2L lens but I think the Canon EF 135mm F2.8 Soft Focus Lens is a good alternative to that lens for people who don’t have a finite well of cash to splurge on an L lens.

Shooting with the Canon EF 85mm F1,8 USM lens was a pleasure. The auto focus speed is pretty good. It is sharp wide open and very usable but gets even sharper and with more contrast when stopped down to about F4 and above.

Image captured with the canon EF 85mm F1.8 USM. Captured at ISO 400 1/160s at F2.0.

In comparison to the Canon EF 135mm F2.8 Soft focus lens, the 85mm F1.8 USM lens has a wider aperture that allows more light to reach the sensor. The image above was shot at F2.0 and ISO 400 which is two stops of light more compared to the soft focus lens. I could step the ISO speed down to ISO 400 and use an aperture of F2 as compared to the softfocus lens which only opens up at F2.8.

That allowed me to shoot at a much higher shutter speed that allowed me to have a pretty sharper image and significantly less noise.

It might not be obvious looking at the images but that is always a consideration when deciding which lens to use in low light conditions and where image quality is of paramount importance.

The 85mm lens is popular with wedding and portrait photographers. Although I had tested it before in store at Jessops, using it at an event was an even better experience. I am pretty happy with the results as illustrated in the slideshow above.

I felt like somehow my photography skills had transformed overnight because of the images I was able to capture like the one below.

Image shot at ISO 400, 1/100S and F2.0

The isolation and compression of this lens is awesome as you can see in the image above. The bokeh is awesome and throws the background out of focus making the subject in the frame pop out of the frame.

It is my favourite lens out of the lot. It is my most expensive lens to date. I bought it for two hundred pounds secondhand but it was still in mint condition. And I love the image quality. I feel the price is justified and will allow me to improve on what I do.

I also had the Canon EF 50mm F1.8 Mk II and the Sigma 105MM f.2 DG EX Macro lenses. I shoot with a lot of primes and I was glad I had these lenses.

Both lenses are very good in their own way. They have unique qualities but they are both very good value for money, and provide good image quality.

The 8th London Iranian Film Festival provided me with the opportunity to use all my prime lenses. It was an opportunity I utilised well. It has helped me gain more confidence in my skills as well as providing me with more material for my portfolio.

Since then, more opportunities have come my way and I have readily accepted them partly inspired by my boost of confidence shooting the festival.

I think it is important for budding photographers and videographers to shoot a lot and whatever comes their way to build on their technical skills, understand the technical aspects of their craft and the limitations of their gear.
