Today was meant to be a bird hunting trip, but of course, due to my little injury I ended up going very light and it changed into a leisurely stroll at The Gnoll in Neath. I wanted to keep things as simple as possible, plus it gave me a chance to try out my two newest lenses.
“What I used”
I used my Nikon ZF, and I used my brand new TTArtisan 85mm F/1.8 lens for the first time (literally), along with the Viltrox 28mm F/4.5 Chip lens for the second half of the stroll. Although I have been working on a few new recipes for my Nikon ZF, you all know I love my Premium Nostalgic, so that is what I used. All images are straight from camera, only straightened if needed.
Here are the first batch of images using the Nikon ZF and the TTArtisan 85mm F/1.8 lens.
And here are the images taken with the Nikon ZF with the Viltrox 28mm F/4.5 lens.
“Conclusion”
I am super happy with the photographs, and of course no editing means I can get on with other things! Getting it right in camera, with full control over the final image look is still fun, as much as I like to edit my raw files these days.
The TTArtisan 85mm F/1.8 lens has really surprised me, the image output from it is beautiful, and I really like the slight vintage effect bokeh that it gives off. I have to say, the 28mm F/4.5 surprised me today, in this kind of environment and light, the images look really nice!
